Reuters is following a downgrade in credit ratings of nine euro zone countries. They report the euro as likely to post further losses in the coming week. It dropped on Friday the 13th to its lowest against the U.S. dollar in nearly 17 months.
“Many of the yachts we represent for mega yacht charters are owned by European investors. They set their rates in Euros. It is a currency that is being battered by the downgraded credit ratings of euro zone countries like France, Spain, and Italy,” says Sheeder.
AMERICAN TRAVELERS
American travelers look to secure rental vacations on European-owned superyachts. They see their US dollar stretch further than in the past two charter seasons.
“US-based travelers were on the short end of the stick for quite some time,” says Sheeder. “As their dollars strengthen, they can upgrade to larger yachts without paying more money. The foreign currency pendulum is definitely swinging in their direction.”
SHRINKING EURO
The inventory of luxury vessels for hire is growing. Couple this with low demand due to the global recession. These changes put pressure on charter rates. Charterers rejoice. “The shrinking euro plus excess inventory and low demand is creating tremendous value for United States residents looking to charter in the Caribbean this winter and even in the Mediterranean this summer,” explains Sheeder.
High Power III
The 70-meter motor yacht HIGH POWER III (ex-NUMPTIA), for example, recently announced a euro rate reduction, combined with extra free charter days for the remainder of the Caribbean season.
Sheeder and her advisors believe the tumble is not over.
“The breakdown in talks between Greece and its creditor banks means Greece is on the verge of collapse. This could continue the downtrend in the euro,” states Sheeder.
Some currency strategists see the euro possibly hitting $1.25 by the end of next week, with a target of between $1.21-$1.22. The euro plunged to a low of $1.26240, its weakest level since late August 2010, on the EBS trading platform. On Friday the 13th, it last traded at $1.26830, down 1.1 percent on the day. The euro, down slightly on the week, posted its third straight weekly loss, based on EBS data.
“On the bright side,” says Sheeder, the tumbling euro will provide a significant incentive for Americans to book European-owned yachts at a deeply-discounted price for many months to come.”

YACHT CHARTER REVIEWS
Here’s the feedback of a recent charter guest:
“ The charter was so much better than we ever hoped, the crew was so kind, they indulged the children with playing, fishing and all of the adults got into the toys and adventure as well, all of the crew participated and made it so fun, they were willing to do anything, the chef was fabulous, my wife who has Celiac and my daughter -in-law who is gluten intolerant were so spoiled and could not have been happier.
THE YACHT CHARTER REVIEW CONTINUES
…the theme nights were amazing and we loved that Pirate Captain Mike got dressed up and we renewed our vows and it made our anniversary celebration and holiday one will never forget, Captain Mike was very detailed with the APA accounting and explanation and this built a lot of confidence for me, he is a stand up classy guy, we would love to do this again and cannot thank the crew enough, it was hard to say goodbye.”
