As part of the 2009 Budget, the Federal Government is offering a ONCE ONLY 50% INVESTMENT ALLOWANCE (increased from 30% initially announced) against the purchase of a new Charter Boat.

Though the deadline to order is now December 31, 2009, there are very few vacancies within charter companies. Seawind can help place your boat into charter if you act soon.

In this feature, we investigate these benefits in detail and talk with experts in the industry including: A Multiple Charter Boat Owner; The Whitsunday's Largest Charter Operator; and Australia's leading Charter Boat Financier.
