Is Fractional Yacht Ownership For You?

While many people dream of owning their very own luxury yacht, the reality is that most yacht owners only use their prized possessions for around 4-6 weeks per year. This makes having a yacht an extremely expensive hobby, given the additional costs involved in berthing and maintenance that continue all year round. This is why the smartest owners are turning to fractional yacht ownership – a kind of yacht timeshare which offers all the pleasures of owning a yacht, only with far less of the worry and expense.

Why fractional yacht ownership is the smartest way to enjoy a yacht

Fractional yacht ownership means that you share your yacht with other partial owners, reducing both purchasing and maintenance costs. The role of SmartYacht is to bring together suitable candidates for your yacht share, depending on the type of yacht desired, the location you want to sail in and any personal usage requirements. 

SmartYacht will ensure that everything runs smoothly between all co-owners, from overseeing contracts and assigning time onboard to the movement of funds and the protection of your property from any potential bankruptcy or payment defaults by other co-owners. This means you will never have to communicate directly with another co-owner. 

Choice and flexibility

By taking on a boat share with SmartYacht, your desired holiday weeks are guaranteed, and you can even enjoy a yacht holiday at short notice. This is because SmartYacht brings together shareholders who have different requirements, with their three-season system guaranteeing the availability of your yacht.

SmartYacht’s fractional yacht ownership system also offers you independence from your fellow co-owners, meaning that you don’t have to coordinate with them and negotiate your required holiday periods. You can even stay anonymous, if you prefer. SmartYacht will also take care of all professional yacht management needs.

Worry-free yacht ownership

Be your own captain or enjoy a professional crew – it’s up to you.  You could have a year-round on-board crew, a temporary skipper upon request or you could choose to captain the yacht yourself. Whatever you desire, the team at SmartYacht will ensure you get to enjoy your yacht, exactly as you want.

Taking on a yacht share will save you a great deal of money on both purchase and maintenance costs, so that you get a great deal out of your investment, but it offers much more than that. Imagine relaxing on board your very own yacht, with nothing to worry about – no commitments, no negotiations and no maintenance issues. You can even keep your personal belongings on board and enjoy sleeping in your own bed linen. 

You are also free to sell your ownership as and when you’d like to, meaning you don’t need to feel tied down to one yacht.

SmartYacht’s experienced and motivated team has the highest affinity to yachting and the lifestyle around it. As well as providing fractional yacht ownership, the SmartYacht Club facilitates flexible use of exclusive yachts in the most beautiful locations, again, without commitments and at unbeatable prices.
