You can own your share of a 290' residential 5-star luxury
superyacht based in downtown St Petersburg, Florida
It's you and 15 friends buying a superyacht for a
fraction of the price of a conventional $35 million vessel.
THE PROGRAM
Here's how it works...
Oceanic Resort Condos of America (ORCA) is a company formed solely for the repurposing of small regional 5-star luxury cruise ships into very roomy superyachts for purchase by a small group of people who share the ship's adventures for far less than buying a $60,000,000 superyacht alone.
Welcome to the superyacht Caribe Explorer
This beautiful expedition superyacht has 16 roomy staterooms. You may join 15 other couples in purchasing a share in the vessel. You then basically own your own suite AND the entire vessel.
The new owners can use it for anything they want. Live aboard or just visit for the cruises each month. All operating expenses will be divided equally among the owners.
Owners will elect a director and all will vote on a number of creative and adventurous cruises suggested by Port Canaveral, Florida's Sophlex Marine Management, the ship's maritime operations company. While a Yacht Owners Association, YOA rather than an HOA, the group will operate like a very large family and the members will have equal say-so in all major decisions.
The the yacht's bedroom suites range size from 500 sq' to 750 sq' and priced from $1.7 to $2.8 million.
But here's the really GOOD NEWS! ORCA will pay all yacht operating costs for the entire first year which includes monthly cruises to the islands and an annual month-long cruise to South and Central America. All the owners pay for is cocktails, food, and incidentals like onboard shopping. A whole year!
The FUN
The owners actually own 100% of the superyacht. This is NOT a joint venture, fractional ownership, timeshare, or condominium purchase. It's simply 16 couples who are getting together to buy a luxurious mega-yacht. Think of it in that manner... you are not buying a cabin on a cruise ship. You're chipping in to buy a superyacht that has some really incredible bedrooms!
