Meisler Yachts Ltd. was registered in the Bahamas IBC register, 25th of February 2015, and is an international shipping company which is developing a Yacht Part Ownership Program for Super Motor Yachts sailing on 5 continents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Meisler Yachts Ltd. is an international shipping company which is developing a Yacht Part Ownership Program with fourteen Broward Luxury Motor Yachts sailing on 4 continents starting June 1st 2016, and five identical 50 meter (164 foot) Benetti superyachts sailing on five continents, which is also planned to start up with the first yacht on June 1st 2016.
Founder & CEO Gustav Meisler and President & COO Arne Konrad Ottdal, together with an international expert team from the yacht and cruise industry, saw similar trends of part-ownership programs for luxury businesses such as with real-estate, crew ships, private jets (Net Jets), hotel chains (time-shares), jewelry and automobiles. The founders have a passion and deep understanding for the yachting industry and wanted to apply the same business model to their industry, creating a unique market opportunity.
The Company aims to purchase pre-owned yachts and upgrade the yachts to today’s highest quality standards, including the latest technology, amenities, accommodations and entertainment. The advantage of this is that the yachts have already been built and can be put into the program immediately. The shares will be broken down by weeks, with the Broward yachts having 36 weeks available.
The first two Benetti yachts have 34 shares available and the other three have 40 shares available. Meisler Yachts has also a new building program planned, which is to build three “Meisler Crown Princess”, 301 feet (92 m) Super Luxury Motor Yachts for delivery in 2019 and 2020.
The Company is seeking an investment of $7 million in Start Up financing to be allocated towards the office in Ft. Lauderdale, project development, consulting, legal fees and purchase of the first two Broward 121 foot yachts. The Company has also 3.0 million shares for sale a $4.0 per share.
Operation and management of several small cruise vessels which will be owned by Meisler Yachts Ltd.
