Become a SailTime member

SailTime presents a unique programme for people considering sailing with their friends and families. A SailTime membership provides a minimum of seven sailing times each month, at an affordable cost. You can schedule your sailing for weekend, weekday, evening or week-long sailing using our state of the art SailTime Scheduler. You choose when you'd like to go sailing - tomorrow, next month or next year and we'll take care of the rest.

With SailTime your monthly membership fee is typically less than a day’s charter rate  or the monthly marina fees for a similar boat.  SailTime members also benefit from sailing onboard our luxury fleet of yachts which are all extremely well equipped with such features as GPS systems, electric windlass and heating.  Each of our impressive yachts are shared by seven other members and one owner-member, who are each guaranteed flexible and frequent use of the yacht.

If a member fails to use all of their sail time in one month, they can carry it over to the next month. Sail times can also be borrowed from a forward month for extended cruising.

A member can cancel, re-bank or change their bookings at any time up to 24 hours beforehand without penalty.

The Scheduler is programmed to ensure that each members receives a fair share of the available week days, week day evenings, weekends and public holidays.

SailTime not only makes it easy to start sailing, it can save you considerable expense as well.

Consider this, most people who own a sailboat use it 2-3 times per month. Yet the cost of ownership is high: marina fees are £300-£700 per month, your monthly payment to the bank could range from £500-£2000, yacht maintenance is expensive - then there is insurance and . . . the list goes on and on! 

Enjoy the thrill of boat ownership, without the expense. With fractional sailing you can share a new yacht with seven others who are also interested in sailing. Individually, you are guaranteed at least seven sail times per month, and SailTime covers the insurance, marina fees, cleaning and repairs of the yacht - all for a monthly cost that is usually less than a day’s charter rate or monthly marina fees for a similar boat. With boat ownership if you become tired of the boat you have to sell it. With fractional sailing there is no long-term commitment, just one year. The appeal of SailTime is that it’s essentially a turn-key system, members simply make their reservations then turn up and sail!

If you want all the benefits of boat ownership with easy access, nothing compares to the SailTime Scheduler. Hundreds of hours of code development and years of working with our members have enabled us to develop the proprietary SailTime Scheduler software programme that lets members make instant reservations or plan up to a year in advance. Simply design your own sailing calendar whenever you want. The SailTime Scheduler makes booking your sailing simple.

Maintenance is also made easy with SailTime’s innovative E-ttendant system. Upon arrival and departure, an assessment of the boat’s condition is logged into a wireless PDA located onboard each yacht. Members check-on and check off using the E-ttendant. The system notes if an item is in short supply or needs attention and sends the Base Manager or next scheduled member an e-mail notice advising them of the status. This ensures the boat will be ready to sail when you are.
