  • Why boatshare?

    Shared ownership (or fractional ownership) means you own a share of the boat for a fraction of the cost and have exclusive use for part of the time. The boat is used by other part-owners when it would otherwise be lying idle. Each part-owner enjoys significant financial benefits:

    • Less capital outlay / lower loan repayments
    • Less running costs
    • Less depreciation
    However . . . private boatshare syndicates can work well but often there are challenges with getting everything agreed upfront, sharing maintenance tasks, allocating costs, determining who uses the boat when, avoiding conflicts between owners if one has an incident, and especially if an owner wants to get out of the syndicate before others.

    Boatshare Made Better

    Smartboatshare keeps the key principle of a share of ownership and time for a fraction of the purchase and running costs.

    Smartboatshare is different with its professional management of both the yacht and the owner-group throughout plus assurance of a predefined exit after a known fixed term of ownership.
