VOYAGE 590 OWNERS can list a number of reasons as to why they are such fans of this new generation yacht, which gives them high financial returns and high asset preservation.

The fully electric or hybrid diesel VOYAGE 590 is the most popular investment yacht that Voyage Charters has ever had on the market. It’s no wonder that more and more yacht investors are considering the VOYAGE 590; its popularity with charter customers is evident by the number of forward charter bookings.

The real sizzle of the VOYAGE 590 is in its aesthetic beauty, which outdates every other current competitor on the market. The revolutionary electric VOYAGE 590e is quietly powered by large-capacity batteries and recharged by solar, hydrogeneration and high-efficiency auxiliary generator design.

This spectacular, fully airconditioned, cutting-edge catamaran almost feels more like a floating luxury apartment than a yacht.

From Ernie Joubert, a long-time customer of Voyage: “I as an investor see this opportunity; I can invest in a cutting edge new generation yacht which is beautiful, which stands out from the crowd of which I will be proud, which will give me high financial return, which will be operated by an experienced charter company who will not only look after my boat, but make it as good as new all the time, therefore preserving my asset as if it is new, therefore ensuring a good sales value when I decide to trade it in. And in the meantime, I can have a good return, the tax benefit, and free usage every year for myselfmy family, friends. The benefit of 25 years of being in the business is that Voyage Charters

are experienced at giving top service to their investors and their charter customers as they offer the complete package. The deal is a no-brainer.”

With Voyage Charters, actions speak louder than words. This is evident from the many boat owners who have not only invested in a single yacht purchase, but who have upgraded to newer products and models over the past 25 years of the company’s existence. ■
