Fractional Boats and Yachts
Browse All Our Fractional Boats and Yachts Opportunities
Owning a yacht is far from a practical proposition, with a high buy-in cost, increasing annual costs and a depreciating asset that remains unused for much of the year. But I, and many others like me, still want one. The fact is; nothing quite says you have made it like casually offering to take a few friends out for a daytrip on your very own yacht.
But the cost is tough to swallow- who can say that they need access to such a craft 24/7 365? For those who can afford it the figures don't really stack up as sound economical sense and the majority (which unfortunately includes your humble scribe) could not even begin to contemplate yacht ownership.
That's where fractional ownership comes into its own- reducing your outlay and ongoing expense whilst giving you the benefit to use your yacht as if it were your own, without the hassles, fully managed. You can still enjoy the pride of ownership whenever you step aboard yet you experience none of the traditionally associated headaches- financial, maintenance and other such issues. Pretty much all the plus points with none of the downsides.
Fractional ownership is not only a chance for those who could not previously afford a yacht to get a chance to experience the thrill of ownership but similarly for those who would have previously purchased their own vessel they get to invest much less money but in possibly a much bigger yacht.
Although terms, conditions and services vary from company to company generally the annual fee pays for the crew, the maintenance and the management. Everything is done for you including from sourcing insurance quotes and finding crew, to implementing a proactive program of maintenance. All you need do is make the arrangements to roll up and set sail- just picture yourself lounging on deck with an excessively accessorised cocktail whilst a private chef creates culinary masterpieces in the galley.
