High-Net-Worth Americans Turn to Caribbean Catamarans for Massive Tax Breaks in 2025
Jost van Dyke, Virgin Islands (British) Aug 4, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Virgin Islands Yacht Broker (VIYB Ltd)
Based in the British Virgin Islands, VIYB specializes in the sale of high-end catamarans, sailing yachts, and charter-performing vessels across the Caribbean. With a reputation for transparency, expert guidance, and strong regional connections, VIYB helps private and business buyers navigate every step of the yacht acquisition process.
With U.S. tax law changes on the horizon, savvy investors are seizing a lucrative opportunity to purchase charter-capable catamarans that qualify for 100% bonus depreciation under the current U.S. tax code. Virgin Islands Yacht Broker (VIYB), a leading brokerage firm in the Caribbean, is helping high-net-worth individuals acquire yachts that offer both lifestyle and financial returns.
As outlined in VIYBs recent article, How Charter Yachts Qualify for Bonus Depreciation, U.S.-based buyers who place a vessel into a legitimate charter business may be eligible to deduct 100% of the vessels purchase price in year one under Section 179 and the Bonus Depreciation allowance. This incentive is especially attractive for those seeking to offset income while gaining access to a professionally managed, income-generating yacht in the Caribbean.
One standout example is the 2022 Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67, Semper Fidelis, currently listed with VIYB and operating in Grenada. This luxury catamaran is fully charter-ready and qualifies for full depreciation benefits for qualified U.S. buyers.
Its rare to find a yacht of this caliber that ticks all the boxes for charter performance, U.S. tax benefits, and luxury ownership, said Steve Varrow, Founder of Virgin Islands Yacht Broker. Were seeing more Americans choosing catamarans not just for lifestyle, but as a tool for legitimate, IRS-compliant tax optimization.
VIYB works closely with a trusted network of charter managers, documentation agents, tax attorneys, and marine lenders to help clients structure these acquisitions properly from day one.
