Sunsail, The Moorings expand charter fleets
SHARE
Owned by Travelopia, the sister charter companies will expand their fleets by over 25 per cent following massive investment.
Travelopia, which owns Sunsail and The Moorings, announced that it has acquired 160 charter boats for delivery in 2024, which will take the total fleet across the two sister charter companies to 750 yachts available in over 20 destinations worldwide.
Travelopia’s Yacht division also includes Leopard Catamarans, whose personalised sailing and power catamarans for private owners are built at Robertson & Caine, South Africa’s biggest boatbuilding company, which produces charter-specific editions of the Leopard catamarans for Sunsail and The Moorings.
The 160 boats ordered by Travelopia comprise 110 sailing and power catamarans from Robertson & Caine and 50 sailing monohulls by Dufour, following a partnership with the French builder announced last year.
Sunsail and The Moorings also sell their models through a yacht ownership programme created by The Moorings in 1971. Through the Covid-19 pandemic and after the likes of Hurricane Irma, the two companies continued to pay guaranteed revenues to all its owners without exception.
Travelopia’s Yacht division has also announced record-breaking results with a total turnover of €315 million for the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2023. It marked the fifth successive record-breaking year for the division, whose total yacht sales revenues have increased by 60 per cent across the past three years.
“Our Moorings and Sunsail Yacht Ownership revenues have surged and combined with the explosive growth of our exclusive distribution of Leopard Catamarans, 2023 was another exceptional year for our yacht sales activities, marking the fifth consecutive record-breaking year,” Sunsail and The Moorings stated.
“At Sunsail and The Moorings, we take pride in our unwavering dedication to providing unparalleled experiences and opportunities within the yachting world. We look forward to continuing our journey and exceeding expectations in the years to come.”
