Frequently Asked Questions

What is yacht co-ownership?

Yacht co-ownership allows several individuals to jointly own a yacht, sharing both the purchase price and ongoing running costs.

Unlike charter, co-ownership gives you genuine equity in the yacht, together with guaranteed annual usage based on the size of your share.

With Yacht Share, the yacht is professionally managed, maintained and prepared between visits, allowing you to enjoy yacht ownership without having to manage every aspect yourself.

A yacht is divided between a small number of equity co-owners. With Yacht Share, yachts typically have between 4 and 8 owners, with each receiving approximately 4 to 12 weeks of use per year depending on their share.

The purchase price and ongoing costs are divided proportionately. Owners select their weeks using a fair rotational system, while the yacht’s day-to-day operation, maintenance and administration are professionally managed.

The result is genuine yacht ownership, with the cost and unused time shared between a small number of owners.

The main advantage is the ability to enjoy yacht ownership without bearing 100% of the purchase price and annual running costs.

Owners benefit from genuine equity, guaranteed annual usage and professional management, while paying only their proportionate share of the costs.

For someone who only expects to use a yacht for several weeks each year, it can be a far more efficient alternative to funding a yacht that remains unused for much of the year.

The cost varies significantly depending on the yacht, its age, size, specification, location and the number of weeks included with the share.

Yacht Share offers opportunities ranging from smaller luxury motor yachts through to substantial superyachts, covering a wide range of budgets and annual usage requirements.

In addition to the purchase price, owners contribute their proportionate share of the yacht’s ongoing operating and maintenance costs.

Yes. Your yacht share is an equity asset and can be sold when you decide to leave the syndicate, subject to the relevant syndicate agreement.

Yacht Share can market your share to prospective purchasers, providing an established route to the market when you decide to exit.

TESTIMONIALS

Ive-Family Home
Marc, Tash, Jack, Fynn and Sam We have 3 teenage lads, and they just didn’t want to come on holiday with us anymore. However, once there was a yacht on offer that suddenly changed. Now they love to come along and we have wonderful family times together. The boys are great company and we have created lots and lots of new family memories that will remain with us forever.

J & I Janotte The yacht share idea always appealed to us, finding a professional and reliable syndicate was harder. I am happy to vouch for Yacht Share Network, they are truly the masters of the universe and make it work incredibly well.

Victoria Harris Boating was never my dream however it was my husband Robert’s ultimate goal in life. Sharing meant we managed to achieve a of this and more with a fraction of the cost. We could still take the children skiing and do all the other things a busy family wants to do. When you see your 7 year old swimming in the sea and in the tender shouting faster whilst laughing and screaming you know that holidays are back to being magical. This has been the making of us as a family thank you so much.

Paul & Phil I’ve known William for many years and he knew that our boat sat empty in Cannes for most of the time. He suggested we sell some shares instead of just burning cash on moorings and maintenance. Yacht Share Network took her into their fleet and we got ¾ of our capital back. Now we just have ¼ of the running costs, and don’t feel so guilty that we only use the boat about 6 weeks of the year.

David Thomson I have to admit, I probably love boating more than my wife does so buying a boat was unlikely to ever happen. A boat share however… I got the boss to approve, and a happy wife is a happy life lol!
