UK yacht share saves money on ownership and charter!

A yacht share avoids the high and escalating cost of ownership. Most people who own a yacht use it only 2-3 times per month yet the cost of ownership is high and increasing: marina fees are £300-£500 per month, your monthly payments to the bank and insurers could range from £500-£2000, whilst maintenance is both expensive and time consuming. Joining a traditional shared ownership scheme reduces the cost and time commitments but these are still open ended, whilst reserving the yacht is not an easy or flexible process..

With SailTime’s unique membership programme you share a new yacht with seven other members who simply make reservations online then turn up and sail. 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 fixed monthly cost that is usually less than a day’s charter rate or monthly marina fees for a similar boat.

Unlike the long term commitment of ownership, SailTime membership is for a minimum of just one year, during which time you benefit from sailing a luxury yacht which is extremely well equipped with features such as GPS, electric windlass and heating. Our Owner-Member Programme can provide owners with a guaranteed monthly income as well as all the benefits of SailTime membership.
