You’ve got the beach house, the villa in Spain or France, a golfing property, possibly at Fancourt, Arabella or
Sparrebosch, and timeshare or co-ownership at one of the lesser known but upmarket game reserves.
However, business is great. There is a lot left even after the taxman has taken his share; so what’s next on the
ownership list? Perhaps it’s time to take to the water.
Cruising the world’s oceans sounds like a great way to spend money, but Chris Bonnet, owner and CEO of Sun Sail
SA (SSSA), warns that sailing isn’t for everyone and a huge love for the sea is as important as being able to afford
the yacht.
Bonnet suggests a halfway port for those who think they may have saltwater in their veins but are not totally convinced.
He suggests investing in a yacht that is based in one of the 35 harbours used by Sun Sail UK (SSUK) - in Canada
and the US, Australia and New Zealand, the Mediterranean and Caribbean, as well as a few islands.
