The Maha offering will be especially appealing in Asian locations such as Phuket and Bali, that offer a narrower choice of charter yachts and will guarantee members access to a high-quality yacht and world-class crew.
Vessels are under construction while the company markets the concept via yacht shows, such as the recent Singapore Yacht Show, and Sovren House Group will target “introducers” and founding members in key locations to generate interest.
On the decision to build with the internationally acclaimed Feadship, White said: “We have the best service, so you’ve got to have the best builder. Feadship are renowned for both the efficiency and ‘uniquity’ of their custom designed yachts.”
The concept offers owners the flexibility, ease of access at various locations and freedom from running and maintenance costs.
“40 weeks [over 10 years] of charter on board an equivalent Feadship would cost significantly more than Maha Yacht Club’s proposed fees,” the company stated.
“When viewed in that light, it’s deal, even without the benefits of club membership added on top.”
The company plans to grow the membership to comprise an international coterie of clients.
The intention is to have the first two yachts in operation for northern spring 2019. The Maha Yacht Club will inaugurate the first cluster in its fleet in the summer of 2019 in the waters of Ibiza. Shortly after, Bali, Phuket, South of France and Bahamas will be incorporated as homeports.
