Who is this Charl?
Hey, I’m Charl.
I spent seven years working on superyachts, starting as a broke South African deckhand with no real plan for my money. I earned well, but I had no strategy for turning income into something lasting.
Over time I became obsessed with fixing that. I studied investing, bought property, built disciplined index fund positions, tracked my net worth monthly, and treated my finances with the same focus I brought to my job onboard.
That shift allowed me to build a $530,000+ net worth largely during my years at sea and step into land life with options instead of uncertainty.
Now I help yacht crew do the same.
I share the systems, principles, and hard lessons that turn high-income seasons into long-term wealth.
Join 100’s of other yachties taking charge of their financial futures with The Yachting Investor. I help crew replicate the exact system I used to build a serious financial launchpad. Yachting life is hard enough- your financial life doesn’t have to be!

Got Questions?
It depends on your nationality, tax residency, and where you plan to live long term.
Common platforms my readers use include Vanguard, Fidelity, Charles Schwab, Interactive Brokers, Easy Equities, Robinhood, eToro, and Acorns. Each has different rules around residency and access.
There is no single “best” brokerage. The right one is the one that works legally for your passport and long-term plan. Inside coaching and courses, I help you narrow this down properly.
No.
I am not a licensed financial advisor and I do not manage assets for anyone. I believe most yacht crew are fully capable of managing their own investments once they understand the system.
My role is to teach you the framework, discipline, and strategy so you can confidently invest yourself.
Tax depends on citizenship, tax residency, and how long you spend in each country.
There is no universal yachtie tax rule. Some crew are fully taxable, some qualify for deductions, and some create problems by ignoring it.
I can help you understand the moving pieces and point you toward the right professionals when needed, but you are always responsible for staying compliant in your country.
Yachting is a high-income, low-expense window. For most crew, saving 40–70% of income is realistic if lifestyle inflation is controlled.
The goal is not just saving cash. The goal is converting peak earning years into long-term assets before stepping off the boat.
Start simple.
Open the correct brokerage account for your situation. Build an emergency fund. Begin with diversified, low-cost index funds or ETFs. Automate contributions. Track your net worth monthly.
You do not need complexity to build serious wealth.
Crypto is high-risk and volatile. It can play a role, but it should never be the foundation of your financial plan.
I treat crypto as a small percentage allocation within a diversified portfolio, not a get-rich strategy.
That is exactly why this platform exists.
The earlier you treat your income like fuel for assets instead of lifestyle upgrades, the more options you create when you step ashore.
We build with the exit in mind.
No.
Everything shared through The Yachting Investor is educational in nature. You are responsible for your own decisions, and when needed, you should consult qualified professionals in your jurisdiction.
