Fractional Ownership

OF A LUXURY YACHT

What is

A YACHT SHARE?

Yacht share is where you own a percentage of a luxury yacht. For example, a 25% ownership means you are one of four owners and would have to cover quarter of the total running and maintenance costs. In return you have access to the yacht as determined in your ownership agreement.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

You buy a percentage share in a yacht and a management company takes care of all the logistics including: 

Cleaning

Refueling

Repairs & maintenance

Valet parking

Insurance

Linen & laundrey

Online booking system

By choosing yacht share, you get the joy of owning a yacht but with less cost and work.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF OWNING A YACHT SHARE?

There are a number of benefits to owning a yacht share rather than having sole ownership of a yacht:

FINANCIAL SAVINGS

The costs of running and maintaining a yacht can be hefty. By sharing ownership, you also share those costs saving you some serious money.

NO MANAGEMENT HASSLES

As a yacht share, you will have a management company to take care of the hassles involved with yacht ownership. Hiring crew, maintenance, dealing with marinas etc are all done for you.

EASIER TO SELL

When it’s time to sell, it can be much easier to sell a part share in a yacht than selling the whole thing as the sharing arrangements are already set up and there is a bigger pool of potential buyers.

WALK ON WALK OFF

With everything else taken care of, you can literally just walk on, sail away and then walk off at the end of your trip.

WHAT ARE THE DOWNSIDES OF OWNING A YACHT SHARE?

There are of course some downsides to owning a yacht share rather than owning your own yacht.

SHARING YOUR TOYS

If you don’t like to share, yacht share may not be for you.

LESS FLEXIBILITY

With yacht share, you don’t have the flexibility to decorate or fitout the yacht however you want. You will only have access at certain scheduled times of the year so last minute getaways can be a bit difficult.

MAJORITY RULES

Most decisions are made on consensus with yacht share so if the majority decide they want to change the location of the yacht or to sell up, you won’t have much choice in the matter!

FAQS ABOUT YACHT SHARES

  • What happens when I want to sell my share?

    Unless your agreement states otherwise, when you are ready to sell your share of the yacht, a valuation will be done on the yacht in its current condition, and you will sell your share accordingly.

  • Can my friends utilise my usage days?

    Yes, unless otherwise agreed upon, you can nominate someone else to use your allotted days.

  • Will I be allowed to take my pet onboard?

    This is entirely dependent on the ownership agreement.  Provided all owners agree then that won’t be a problem however some yacht share companies have very strict “no pet” policies.

  • Who pays if one owner does damage to the yacht?

    The details of this will be detailed in your individual agreement but generally speaking, that person will be responsible for any insurance excess and damages not covered by insurance.
