Yacht Purchase or Yacht Membership?
Before you make a long-term decision to buy a yacht, consider membership of SailTime Ipswich and avoid the hassle, expense and time commitments that ownership entails.
SailTime Membership Features
If you find it difficult to justify ownership because of limited leisure time, membership is a cost effective alternative of getting on the water. And unlike the long-term commitment of ownership, SailTime membership is for a minimum of just one year. Download this Excel Spreadsheet to quantify how much you could save.
As a SailTime Member, you are guaranteed a minimum of 6 weeks sailing each year. You make your reservations online then turn up and sail. You can book anything up to 12 months in advance, re-arrange your bookings with no penalties and have unlimited free bookings within 24 hours.
Each yacht is shared by a maximum of eight members, who are all guaranteed exclusive use during their reservation. SailTime covers the insurance, marina fees, cleaning and repairs of the yacht - all for a monthly cost of £612 that even includes the fuel you use.
