Nowtica Charter · I
Owner charter in Spain
The boat is 100% yours. In summer it works for at most three months with an authorised nautical leasing company — Nowtica — and for the other nine months it is, quite simply, your catamaran.
It is the formula of Royal Decree 186/2023: List 7 with Temporary Change, with no tax optimisations exposed to reclassification. You pay VAT and IEDMT in full and, in return, you use your boat whenever you want and sleep soundly. The simulator shows you the full circle over five years: purchase, costs, charter and resale.
How it works
How it works
Three steps and a single point of contact.
Choose your Lagoon and your base
You buy your new catamaran with Nowtica, at the official price, and choose the summer base: Alicante or the Balearics. The simulator estimates both.
The legal structure, no shortcuts
Registration on List 7 and Temporary Change for charter activity: the formula recognised by Spanish regulations. We handle the formalities with the Maritime Authority.
Three months of work, nine of sailing
From 15 June to 15 September Nowtica markets and operates your boat, and you receive the season’s net income. The rest of the year, the boat is yours alone.
Simulator
Owner charter simulator
Choose model, price and base; the simulator works out the purchase with taxes, five years of costs, the net charter income and the estimated resale — and compares it with renting those same weeks.
Which formula fits you?
| Fractional | Owner Charter | Renting | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | A fraction of the boat: ÷ 4-6 | The whole boat — financeable up to 80 % | None |
| Annual cost | Split between 4-6 | Cut by the summer charter | Every week paid in full, money gone |
| Weeks of use | Up to 11-12 guaranteed, summer included | 34 private weeks a year | Whatever you pay for |
| The boat | Yours, in co-ownership | 100 % yours | Never yours |
About these figuresThe figures in this simulator are indicative, for information purposes, and have no contractual value. They do not constitute an offer or a guaranteed income forecast. Nowtica Share is a programme under exploration and its charter forecasts are deliberately prudent. The real tax situation and costs are confirmed in a personalised dossier. Nowtica is not a tax or financial adviser.
Legal framework
What Temporary Change requires — and what we take care of
Putting a List 7 boat into charter is not improvised. The law sets clear limits; Nowtica knows them and handles them for you.
Time limit
Commercial use is authorised for a maximum of three months (consecutive or not) per calendar year. The rest of the year, the boat is entirely yours.
Mandatory company management
It cannot be chartered as a private individual: operation is run by an authorised nautical leasing company. That is where Nowtica steps in.
Maritime Authority formalities
A prior note on the registry record sheet and the vessel’s despatch for charter activity. Paperwork we handle.
Insurance & inspections
ITB up to date, compulsory third-party liability insurance and passenger accident cover. No gaps.
Professional skipper
If a trip includes a skipper, they must be a professional engaged by the managing company. Qualified crew, always.
Frequently asked questions
Does the charter pay for my boat?
No, and we will not sell it that way. Charter can cover part of the loan payment and offset costs; we always present it conditionally. The real value is the saving versus an idle boat, plus your use the rest of the year.
Why do I pay full VAT and IEDMT?
Because List 7 with Temporary Change is the structure that protects you legally without optimisations exposed to reclassification. It costs more upfront; in return, you sleep soundly. And there is a deeper point: it makes no sense to skip the taxes if the price is not being able to use the boat personally — which is exactly what purely commercial exemptions impose. Here you pay in full, but the catamaran is yours and you enjoy it the rest of the year.
Can I use the boat in summer?
In owner charter, the boat would be on charter from 15 June to 15 September; the rest of the year is entirely yours. If you want guaranteed summer weeks, Nowtica Share’s fractional ownership fits better.
Are the simulator figures an offer?
No. They are indicative, for information only, with no contractual value. We confirm your real tax and cost situation in a personalised dossier.
Dossier

The simulator is the first step, in your browser and with no commitment. The second happens in our office: we sit down with you and prepare a dossier with confirmed figures for your model, your base and your use. Rigorous, no small print.
Would you rather your boat sailed the world?
Dream Yacht & Navigare operate it in their global fleet for five or six years, with guaranteed income or revenue share, and you sail in more than 35 destinations.
Would you rather share ownership?
Nowtica Share splits a Lagoon between four and six co-owners, with guaranteed weeks — summer included — and a much smaller entry.
