In January, the IFA Yacht Ownership Club was made an affiliate of The Registry Collection, RCI’s high-end exchange network. IFA Yacht Ownership Club is part of the IFA Hotels & Resorts group and gives its members privileged access to private, luxury motor yachts operating around the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Arabian Gulf and now the Caribbean.

It’s an innovative credits-based membership that combines the utmost flexibility and luxury to private cruising. At a mere fraction of the price of buying, maintaining and berthing a yacht, the club gives members exclusive access to fully equipped and crewed Maiora yachts. Each vessel boasts stylish furnishings and fittings and comfortably sleeps up to eight guests in four beautifully appointed en-suite cabins.

With more than 100 affiliated properties and 6,000 members, The Registry Collection programme caters to the fast-expanding elite travel and leisure real estate market. Affiliated properties are located throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and South Africa, with additional locations in Asia and Australia coming soon.

Members of the IFA Yacht Ownership Club are entitled to use their Registry Collection credits to visit other exclusive residences and resorts around the world.
