The Spanish firm Kumbra Yachts has developed three new options for accessing and managing luxury yachts with the aim of transforming traditional yacht ownership into a financially sustainable asset. Less than two years after its debut at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival, the Barcelona-based company already operates in more than 10 countries and has 20 active distributors. Backed by three generations of experience and the Faeton Yachts shipyard, with over a century of naval heritage, the company integrates financial and technological solutions directly into its business model.
According to CEO Víctor Moure, these options are designed for clients seeking to simplify management and optimize costs by outsourcing maintenance to professional service providers. The first option is Kumbra Invest, a “turnkey” model where the investor retains full ownership focused on day-charter operations while Kumbra handles operations, marketing, and maintenance. This format is designed to generate up to a 14% annual return, with projected five-year cumulative returns ranging from 60% to 74%, which can be monitored via a digital dashboard 24 hours a day.
The second option, Profit Yachts, allows owners to retain flexible use of their boat while generating revenue through the brand’s managed charter program when they are not using it, helping to cover fixed costs or recoup their investment. For this model, internal estimates of cumulative five-year returns in Ibiza reach up to 32.31%. Finally, Dual Property allows you to purchase a boat by contributing 80% of the initial capital, while the remaining 20% is gradually covered through commercial charter operations, with projected five-year returns of up to 40.39%.
This strategy aligns with a favorable international climate in which renting is gaining ground over traditional homebuying. According to the company’s data, the global charter market reached $8.35 billion in 2024 and is projected to climb to $11.34 billion by 2030, with Europe accounting for 43.9%. In fact, the company’s actual results in 2025 in Mallorca and Ibiza exceeded initial forecasts. With a lineup that includes the Kumbra 34 and 36 models, and the new Kumbra 43 as its flagship, the brand has already delivered units in the Mediterranean and in international markets such as Miami and Dubai.
