A yacht may seem like an unattainable goal for most families because they are expensive and must be maintained and stored safely. If you’ve dreamt of a yacht and thought you’d never achieve your goal, you may want to consider a boat share. While it’s not really the same as outright ownership, you will still have partial ownership of the vessel, as well as enough time to use it each year (up to 43 days per person).
Don’t Share (With Family/Friends)
Many people choose to get together a large group of friends and family members, all who want a vessel of their own. They pool their money and buy one, only to receive even more headaches. Your brother is going to want the boat more than everyone else because he’s stingy or your best friend may not come up with all the money necessary. These hassles won’t happen if you choose Luxury Boat Syndicates, as they are a management firm that ensures the fairness for everyone involved.
Yacht Share Tips
If you’re interested in a yacht share, there are a few things to consider first. For example, you’ll probably want to go through a management company. They will help you get everything required to own a boat, including training and provide information about where to get your boating license. They can also supply you with a crew (or point you in the direction), in case you’re uncomfortable going alone or want more freedom to enjoy your vacation.
You will own part of the yacht, as will others. You may or may not know the other owners, but you won’t have to deal with them at all. When it is your time to have the boat, you just go to it, bring all the things you’ll need, and take off. The management company ensures that it is in good repair, fuelled and ready for your trip.
