W-Southern, the transportation company of Mount Vema, announced plans to raise more capital at the Gollexi, to invest in more yachts to increase the number of luxury yachts available for charter in Mount Vema as demand increases from owners of Mount Vema properties off-plans planning to travel to the territory to visit and experience the underwater world where their floating homes will be.
The company realised that the practice of renting or chartering, a sailboat or motor yacht to stay in Mount Vema, for privacy, relaxation or fishing within the Vema Seamount Territorial waters for individuals, families or as a corporate event is about to become big business. W-Southern plans to have two main kinds of charter available. One will be bare-boat and crewed charters which involves a person renting a boat or cabin and skippering it if renting the whole yacht, and the other way is gathering up a group and renting the yacht with them. People associated with the plans, have told VSBCnews that they are already in talks with RMVFA – The Royal Mount Vema Foundation Academy to offer courses to teach basic seamanship and prepare people for bare-boat chartering. The academy will not offer the courses directly but will use its licence to sub-contract the services to foreign companies, as it already has a database of foreign private education businesses who regularly express their interest in providing private education and training to Mount Vema if required. With W-Southern plans, people will have the option to book crewed charter, which means the yacht will come with a crew. This can be anything from a 35-foot boat with a husband-and-wife team serving as captain and chef to a 300-foot boat with a squad of 30 or more crew members including stewardesses, engineers, mates, deckhands, scuba dive masters, and more. Two sub categories of yacht chartering will also be available. One will be un-inspected passenger yachts, also known as 6-packs which carries only six or fewer passengers. All captains will start out by getting their "six-pack" licence which must be issued by the Royal Mount Vema Coast Guard. 6-pack yachts according to W-Southern, will be ideal for smaller groups of six or less, and these yachts have a variety of types and sizes. For example, six packs can be sailing yachts, fishing boats, or power yachts and anything in between. While this type of charter will be the least expensive of the two, people will still need a licensed captain, or skipper with them at all times. On six-pack charters people will be able to choose their menu and the type of cruise they wish to take be it to liveaboard in Mount Vema, diving expeditions, deep sea fishing and visit different sites during and after the City of Mount Vema construction, or an ocean adventure voyages to the South Atlantic Islands, South America, Southern Africa and beyond. The other option will be the inspected passenger vessels. Inspected charters are designed to carry groups large than six passengers. These charter vessels can range from large sailing yachts to dinner cruise ships. These charters will be designed to carry up to several hundred passengers. Inspected vessels will offer many different features that an un-inspected passenger yacht cannot. Features like catering, live music, or a DJ will be available on these larger ships. Prices will vary the cost of a chartering will be determined by several factors including the size of the yacht, its age, its pedigree, the number of crew, and the destination. W-Southern range of charter prices per person per week will start from the equivalent of 500 golles up to and in excess of 10,000 golles. Mega Yacht or Super Yacht that are over 150-foot to 300-foot could cost anything from the equivalent of 25,000 golles up to 350,000 golles per week.

Experts with links to the City of Mount Vema developments projected that Mount Vema lifestyle and the increasing demand for deep sea fishing and spearfishing adventures will lead boom of yacht berths in the region, W-Southern said. Demand for deep berths in the South Atlantic especially from commercial vessels crossing the South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean to the Americas and vice-verse was initially the only expected visitors to make Mount Vema prime location to harbor in times of rough seas.
However, according to W-Southern which is currently the only transport company licensed to transport passenger to and from the Vema Seamount territorial waters, demand for docking facilities will not only come from commercial vessels but also from yachts as boom in demand for deep sea fishing and spearfishing, means that top-quality large super-yachts, and deep berths will be at a premium in the Vema Seamount Territorial Waters. With the new marina developments that will take shape in Mount Vema where super-yacht owners and lovers of sailing adventures will be able to dock and set sail to explore the South Atlantic, South America, Southern Africa or the Indian Ocean as far as Seychelles and beyond and return. Half of the world’s yacht fleet at any given time are based in the western Mediterranean, but Mount Vema is aiming to create similar facilities in the South Atlantic to host super-yachts by building and making available moorings and facilities to make the Vema Seamount Territory a regional destination of choice for owners of luxury yachts and sailing adventures. Berths in Mount Vema are already seen by some as a big investment opportunity as it will be one of the few ports in the region that will be catering exclusively for yachts longer than 80 metres. The Mount Vema government is now working to attract companies, who focus exclusively on the acquisition and development of new marinas and related properties. It’s easy to see why marina berths are big business from the big development in Asia to marina developments in the Caribbean. It is not that long since the 15-year lease on a berth for a 70-meters yacht sold for just over 2.5 million golles (about $5 million US dollars), as the whole world is waking up to the many attractions and advantages that accompany the sport of sailing. |
