Virgin Islands Yacht Broker (VIYB) has been featured in USA Wire, spotlighting Steve Varrow as an authority on charter yacht investment and the new U.S. tax advantages available to yacht buyers.
This recognition reinforces VIYB’s position as a trusted partner for yacht owners who want to maximize their returns through structured charter programs and innovative tax strategies.
Why Charter Yacht Investment is Smarter in 2025
The recently reinstated 100% bonus depreciation law allows qualifying yacht owners to deduct the full purchase price of their yacht in the first year it enters charter service. For investors, this transforms yacht ownership from a pure luxury purchase into a tax-optimized business asset.
By aligning a yacht with a professionally managed charter program, owners can:
- Reduce taxable income through accelerated depreciation.
- Generate steady charter revenue in top yachting destinations.
- Balance personal enjoyment with legitimate business use.
- Protect wealth with a structured charter yacht investment strategy.
