Yacht Sharing Guide: Best Ownership Options & Schemes

The thought of signing up for a yacht sharing may seem totally out of your comfort zone but you could be surprised about the options and schemes available writes Sue Pelling .

Look at any marina and you’ll notice that a huge percentage of privately owned cruising yachts hardly ever go anywhere. They just sit in the marina year after year at great expense, and often deteriorate. Eventually these precious assets get sold off at great financial loss, and often the process repeats itself again and again under new ownerships.

So, what’s the answer? Unless you know you’ll be using your yacht on a regular basis, and/or will be using the boat for racing, it really does pay to ‘do the sums’ and work out whether you should consider the growing trend of boat share ownership. 

This sad trend in boat ownership over the last decade or so has prompted a growing move towards loaning or sharing in the marine sector with a steady flow of companies launching fractional/shared ownership, and gym-style club membership schemes.

It’s a bit like the car industry that has seen a huge shift in customers choosing to lease rather than buy. With plenty of good deals ‘out there’ and the chance of being able to drive a top-of-the-range car that would otherwise be out of the range in financial terms in many cases, it is a serious temptation.

It’s the same with yacht shared ownership/lease schemes, with many companies offering a choice of top of the range, fully maintained yachts. Those who choose charter, particularly in gym-style club membership schemes, have the advantage of sailing a range of top-spec yachts, without the outlay of purchasing or having to deal with time-consuming repairs and maintenance. Just step aboard, sail, and hand back when you’ve finished. 

Schemes available

Charter company shared ownership.

Some yacht charter companies such as Nautilus Yachting , Sunsail , The Moorings , Dream Yacht Worldwide , Sail Ionian , and Navigare Yachting have expanded into charter purchase schemes, which can be a cost-effective option particularly if you are a regular charter holiday customer. These ownership schemes are an extremely popular way to enjoy boating without the full financial burden of outright ownership.

Depending on the company you choose, you’ll get a chance to sail up to 12 weeks a year in the most beautiful destinations in the world. If you sign up with Sunsail , for example, you’ll  have a dedicated owner team to deal with all the administration side of the ownership scheme, a range of Dufour yachts , or Leopard catamaran to choose from, up to 12 weeks of holiday per year, access to many of the company’s bases around the world, use of other Sunsail boats of equivalent size, no harbour fees, no insurance, and no maintenance costs. You will also have a choice of taking a fixed/guaranteed monthly income, or a reduced purchase price at the end of the contract. 

Dream Yacht Worldwide is equally attractive with its worry-free charter ownership management programmes, with a total of seven options to choose from and, like most schemes like this, allows you up to 12 weeks a year sailing on either your own or a similar yacht, in 40+ of the world’s best charter destinations.

Sail Ionian’s charter yacht partnership scheme has been around for the last 18 years and has proved a great success with an unprecedented level of second term investment. The company reports that 80% of charter yacht partnership investors have re-invested in a new yacht for an additional five years, so it’s worth looking at what Sail Ionian has to offer.

Syndicates/fractional ownership 

This is a great way of sharing the purchase and running costs of owning a yacht with a group of people you know, but there is a lot to consider in legal terms and, it is imperative you have an agreement formalised from the outset. Having an agreement in place will help avoid any clashes between members, not only about usage of the boat, and ongoing expenses, maintenance and repair but also about if/when you want to terminate your part of the contract.

It makes sense therefore to use a professional managed boat share company that is set up to deal with all the necessary paperwork and any problems that arise. A good start is the RYA’s legal department that offers advice on Buying with a Syndicate, or  sharingcontracts.com – a company that offers ready-made boat share contracts. 

For an all-in-one package, you might like to consider signing up with the yacht share brokerage company Yacht Fractions.  Established in 1991, this company was one of the first to launch a scheme of this sort and operates in the UK as well as globally. The website lists an extensive range of yachts to choose from, so all you need to do is pick your yacht and let Yacht Fractions deal with all the share agreement paperwork and legal issues. 

Gym-style membership schemes

If you want the flexibility of owning a yacht but don’t want the commitment, then this sort of gym-style membership where you can step on and off without the hassle of boat maintenance and berthing fees, this is the one for you. There are several UK basked companies such as Flexisail , Pure Latitude Boat Club , Hamble Point Yacht Charters , and Fairview Sailing offering this subscription-style service, and it is becoming more and more popular as would-be boatowners/boatowners realise the advantages.

As with all schemes, you need to read the fine details before signing up to see how it works because in most cases there is a one off ‘club’ joining fee plus a monthly subscription, and you need a RYA Day Skipper and VHF qualifications. Most have variety of membership levels, and a good selection of yachts to suit you requirements.

Pure Latitude has four bases in southern England, and, for a standard membership of £700 monthly fee (on a points basis), you have the choice of 20+ sail and motor boats to use, with around 15-20 days of boating a year. 

Flexisail has three membership levels – Midweek, Weekend, Anytime – with the Midweek option from £500 per month with up to 30 days sailing a year. This company’s Flexibook online booking system is popular too, which allows you to make, cancel, swap or exchange time with other members at any time, up to 12 months ahead.

Finally, Hamble Point Charter Membership is simple  and flexible, and its Standard membership scheme starts at £300 per month, which gives you a chance to try out a large range of yachts from 30ft to 56ft. There is no joining fee, and you get up to 41 days of sailing a year.

Top 5 Charter Yachts for Profitable Ownership

Yacht charter management programs work well for a number of reasons, allowing owners to experience the joy of sailing the world and the cruising lifestyle without the hassle and expense of traditional ownership. Once you’ve started exploring various yacht brands and management programs, you may have wondered which boats perform best when placed in our charter fleet. The yacht’s brand reputation, number of cabins, size, and sailing performance all play a part in determining its “charter-ability” – and therefore – profitability ! In general, when comparing yachts of similar size and features, boats with more cabins are preferred by charter guests. And charterers love catamarans – offering spacious common areas inside and out, and large comfortable cabins.

We’ve compiled the data and crunched the numbers to come up with our top 5 best charter yachts. In the process, we considered the boat’s purchase price, average boat rental rate for one week, and the historical number of charter weeks annually, to come up with a revenue-per-year to purchase-price ratio.

Of course, there are so many other considerations when purchasing your dream yacht. But if you’re looking for a high-performing charter yacht with a history of solid returns on investment, read on to learn more about the catamarans that made our top 5 charter yacht list.

Top 5 Dream Yacht Charter Boats

#1 – Bali 4.6 & Bali 4.8 Revenue to Purchase Price Ratio: 35.2% Sometimes the numbers are just too close to make a judgment call, and such is the case with the Bali 4.6 and Bali 4.8 catamarans! Just step onboard, and begin to understand why these stellar boats are among the most sought-after, best charter yachts in the Dream Yacht Charter fleet.

We believe much of the reason comes down to the massive and supremely usable outdoor spaces in the aft cockpit, foredeck and flybridge. The Bali 4.6 offers 5-cabins, with 2 forepeak cabins, an ideal charter layout and the only boat in this size category to offer 5 guest cabins. The Bali 4.8 goes a step further, with an amazing 6-cabin/6-head version – very comfortably accommodating 12 charter guests.

With a 25-foot beam, these yachts offer charterers all the comforts of home, including excellent natural light and ventilation, loads of storage space, and a coveted full-size refrigerator/freezer. A salon door opens directly to the massive foredeck featuring sun beds, cushioned seating and dinette table. And of course, the famous Bail signature “garage-door” style opening to the aft cockpit area is always a guest favorite – allowing for a completely open-air salon.

In short, the Bali 4.6 and Bali 4.8 are the yachts in the Dream Yacht Charter fleet that sell the most charter weeks per year, consistently performing very well, and loved by our charter guests!

#2 – Bali Catspace Revenue to Purchase Price Ratio: 35% Second in our lineup of best charter yachts, is the 4-cabin/4-head Bali Catspace. Once aboard, it’s easy to understand how the Catspace got her name. Her designers managed to give this 40-foot catamaran a surprisingly spacious and airy feel, with large comfortable front cabins, and an impressively-sized flybridge comparable to those found on larger yachts. A large foredeck cushioned sun bed and cockpit lounge area replaces the traditional catamaran trampoline – a unique feature in this size category – allowing for wonderfully usable space while chartering, perfect for lounging and socializing.

Of course, the Catspace also features Bali’s signature tilting “garage-style” door, opening up the large interior saloon to the aft cockpit for a seamless indoor/outdoor experience.

#3 – Bali 4.2 Revenue to Purchase Price Ratio: 32.7% Like the other Bali catamarans in our lineup, comfort and spaciousness are immediately noticeable upon boarding the 4-cabin/4-head Bali 4.2. The large forward galley and full size refrigerator make it convenient to cook for a large charter group of friends and family. The airy saloon is made more like the cozy ambiance of home with the option for 2 facing sofas, and opens to the aft cockpit through the tilting door for a wide open indoor/outdoor flow. And everyone can appreciate the added convenience of the front doorway to the foredeck from the salon. The Bali 4.2, comes in at number 3 on our list, but ranks first for the best ratio of charter price per week when related to boat purchase price – for a winning yacht ownership opportunity.

#4 – Lagoon 40 Revenue to Purchase Price Ratio: 31% Next up is the Lagoon 40. At the lowest purchase price in our best charter yacht lineup, this 40-foot 4-cabin/4-head catamaran earns a respectable charter demand and boat rental price making it a solid investment opportunity at a lower investment cost.

The Lagoon 40 is perfect for those charterers that appreciate the traditional trampoline foredeck and raised helm station. Inside you’ll find an efficient galley and salon well-lit from the panoramic windows. The cabins below – and in particular the aft cabins – are large in size compared to other yachts in the category. The Lagoon 40 is also known for excellent sailing performance, and remarkable stability due to a wide 22’ beam.

#5 – Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Revenue to Purchase Price Ratio: 29.7% Rounding our top 5 list is the 4-cabin/4-head Fountaine Pajot Elba 45. This impressive 4-cabin/4-bath 45-foot catamaran boasts clean lines, elegant interior finishes, and a light and bright salon with large panoramic windows and skylight. The massive flybridge is a charterer-favorite gathering spot, with large cushioned sun bed, and ample wraparound seating for comfort underway or just enjoying evening cocktails. Enjoy swimming and water sports with easy access to the water via the wide transom steps and swim platform. Sailors will appreciate that the Elba 45 ranks among the best in terms of sailing performance for its category.

The future of charter yacht ownership That wraps up our current list of top performing best charter yachts. Of course, as new yachts are introduced and charterer preferences change, the list is ever-evolving! New models to watch for the upcoming 2022/2023 charter season include the Bali 4.4 , Lagoon 51 and the Fountaine Pajot Tanna 47 !

I had a great experience working with DreamYacht in the purchase of my catamaran. Being somewhat nervous in making such a large purchase, I found it to be a pleasant and calming experience in working with Spencer, who took the time to answer my questions and explain the nuances of ownership of a boat. He recommended a CPA to answer my tax questions and helped arrange a tour of the Bali facility as well for my wife and I. Thanks for making a terrifying experience very enjoyable!
