Discover The Top 10 Benefits Of Yacht Sharing

Yacht sharing is the perfect retort to the old adage that ‘a boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money’! It offers the possibility to sail the world on a luxury yacht at the fraction of the cost of regular yacht ownership.

What advantages does yacht sharing offer?

Here are the top ten benefits of a yacht share network:

1. On average most yacht owners will only use their yacht for up to six weeks a year. That is a lot of time for one of your most expensive possessions to sit in a marina, collecting rust. If you share your yacht, it will be used more. 

2. If you buy into a yacht share network you will be reducing the cost of buying a yacht. If you buy a yacht alone it will cost X, but if you co-own a yacht it will cost a fraction of X, depending on how many others are in the network.

3. Yacht sharing is also a way of life, offering the chance to share a passion, and a beautiful boat, with other like-minded people. These relationships will grow and can last a lifetime.

4. When your prized possession needs particular care and attention, the SmartYacht community is there to share in the concern and cost of maintaining the yacht. 

5. Other costs usually incurred alone are yacht management fees, crew costs and transportation. Not so with a yacht share network.

6. Yacht sharing allows for flexible holidays, with the chance to book yacht charters on short notice, as shareholders are sought out for their differing usage wishes. 

7. SmartYacht co-ownership programmes encourage a 3-season system which guarantees the availability of your yacht every season - meaning you can enjoy a yachting holiday almost all year round.

8. If you invest in a yacht share network you can visit destinations all over the world, with other members transporting the yacht to your desired location. 

9. Yacht sharing also allows you to sail with - or without a crew. If you decide that you no longer require a crew and wish to captain the yacht yourself, this is entirely possible.

19. Yacht share allows you to enjoy your yacht without the stress ensuring one hundred percent relaxation, which is after all the purpose of taking off on uncharted waters on a luxury yacht!
