RWA INC PARTNERS WITH SALIENT YACHTS: INTRODUCING NFT-BASED FRACTIONAL YACHT OWNERSHIP IN THE RWA SPACE

June 3, 2025

As real-world assets (RWAs) gain traction, Salient Yachts is introducing a new use case: fractional yacht ownership powered by NFTs. By merging blockchain innovation with an operational, asset-backed business, Salient Yachts and RWA Inc. are working together to expand access to luxury maritime assets through decentralized models.

Introducing NFT-Based Yacht Fractionalization

Salient Yachts manufactures its own sailing yachts and offers NFT-based fractional ownership of these real-world assets. Each yacht is divided into NFT shares, allowing individuals to participate in the benefits of yacht ownership without needing to buy the entire vessel.

These NFTs are connected to yachts that are:

  • Fully insured, providing an added layer of trust for holders

  • Used in charter partnerships, which generate real-world revenue

  • Linked to reward mechanisms, with NFT holders receiving returns equivalent to 24% APR of the NFT value

Additionally, NFT holders can use their earned rewards to book real charter holidays aboard Salient Yachts in holiday destinations like Mauritius and the Caribbean.

The Role of $WIND: Rewards, Stability, and Utility

Rewards are distributed through $WIND, Salient Yachts’ native token. The token is directly tied to the performance of the real-world yachts:

  • Proceeds from yacht charters are used to repurchase and burn $WIND, reducing supply and helping stabilize value

  • A portion of tokens is used to add liquidity to the market

  • Some tokens are airdropped to NFT holders as additional rewards

This structure gives $WIND both utility and long-term sustainability, aligning the digital economy with the real-world performance of the fleet.

Broker / Affiliate Program

The program is open to everyone whether you're a community member, a seasoned Web3 influencer, or simply someone who believes in the vision. 

Participants earn up to 11% commission per sale, not only from direct referrals but also from purchases made by their extended referral network.

The Broker / Affiliate Rank increases with the amount of $WIND tokens held, unlocking higher commission tiers and additional benefits.

A Real Business, Real Assets, and Real Utility

Unlike theoretical models, Salient Yachts operates a working manufacturing facility and deploys its yachts through active charter agreements. The company’s approach combines:

  • In-house production, ensuring control over quality and supply



  • On-chain fractional ownership, increasing liquidity and accessibility



  • Real-world reward mechanisms, connecting NFTs directly to tangible experiences

This makes the Salient Yachts model a unique entry point into the RWA sector for users seeking both passive rewards and experiential benefits.

American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC)

Salient Yachts is an official member of the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) a global leader in setting safety standards for recreational boating.

ABYC’s standards cover design, construction, maintenance, and repair, and are developed in collaboration with industry stakeholders including the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

This membership underlines Salient Yachts' commitment to quality, safety, and global compliance across all stages of yacht production and operation.

Building the Future: Beyond Yacht Ownership

The vision doesn’t stop at yachts.

Due to high demand, Salient Yachts is preparing to expand its infrastructure by building new marinas and fabrication facilities in multiple regions. These locations will serve as home bases for the growing yacht fleet and offer future opportunities for NFT-based fractional participation in the supporting infrastructure itself.

What’s Next

As part of Salient Yachts’ go-to-market strategy, RWA Inc is providing strategic advisory support, assisting with tokenomics, Web3 positioning, and market expansion.

This collaboration reflects a shared belief in bridging real-world infrastructure with blockchain technology, making yacht ownership more accessible, transparent, and rewarding.
