Ahoy Club’s platform includes unique features for owners,
including YOTSWAP, which allows them to exchange their
yachts – for example, a owner with a yacht in the Caribbean
could swap with an owner whose yacht is in the Mediterranean,
saving substantial fuel and relocation costs. The Empty Voyage
feature allows an owner to offer a shorter and more affordable
charter between the port where a guest has disembarked and
a second port where the next guest is due to embark. For
example, a short cruise between one charter ending in Sardinia
and another starting in Cannes would be made available at a
significantly discounted price.
Ahoy Club founder Ian Malouf, is owner of the superyacht
Mischief and has more than 20 years of experience in the
industry as both an owner and a guest.
Ian Malouf said:
“The chartering process is much harder and more expensive
than it needs to be. I want to make the experience quicker,
more informative and more fun. Ahoy Club will allow you to
book a yacht in less than three minutes and save money. We are
delivering more choice, more value and more freedom for less”.
