Yacht Share Network

Yacht Share Network – as featured in the Sunday Times – is the world’s largest yacht brokerage dedicated to co-owned yachts representing over 200 yachts in the best global boating hotspots.

We are purposefully not tied to any particular yacht brand as we recognise that our range of differing yachts from all the leading brands offers potential co-owners much more choice, which simultaneously translates to more competitive offerings.

HOW IT WORKS

Fractional yachting, jet share network, featured yachts, prestige 750 fly, sunseeker 88, riva 90 argo – monaco, pearl 62 – puerto portals – mallorca, pearl 95 – balearics & western med, azimut 26m grande, the world's largest yacht share brokerage.

We have 3 teenage lads, and they just didn’t want to come on holiday with us anymore. However, once there was a yacht on offer that suddenly changed. Now they love to come along and we have wonderful family times together. The boys are great company and we have created lots and lots of new family memories that will remain with us forever.

The yacht share idea always appealed to us, finding a professional and reliable syndicate was harder. I am happy to vouch for Yacht Share Network, they are truly the masters of the universe and make it work incredibly well.

Boating was never my dream however it was my husband Robert’s ultimate goal in life. Sharing meant we managed to achieve a of this and more with a fraction of the cost. We could still take the children skiing and do all the other things a busy family wants to do. When you see your 7 year old swimming in the sea and in the tender shouting faster whilst laughing and screaming you know that holidays are back to being magical. This has been the making of us as a family thank you so much.

I’ve known William for many years and he knew that our boat sat empty in Cannes for most of the time. He suggested we sell some shares instead of just burning cash on moorings and maintenance. Yacht Share Network took her into their fleet and we got ¾ of our capital back. Now we just have ¼ of the running costs, and don’t feel so guilty that we only use the boat about 6 weeks of the year.

I have to admit, I probably love boating more than my wife does so buying a boat was unlikely to ever happen. A boat share however… I got the boss to approve, and a happy wife is a happy life lol!

About Yacht Sharing

Yacht sharing also known as Fractional Yacht Ownership is fast becoming recognised as the smartest way both financially and psychologically to own a yacht.  The majority of people wishing to share a yacht are interested in an easily managed family cruiser at a realistic budget with shared running costs.

This type of ownership should not be confused with “Time share”. The yachts we sell are jointly owned by the various owners, and managed by the owners without any outside interference from a management company, as you get with time-share.

The advantages of yacht sharing …..

• Larger and/or newer boats for a relatively low investment.
• Allows smaller budget purchasers to get afloat.
• Makes the ever rising costs of moorings and marinas affordable.
• Prevents the boat being under-utilised.
• Can allow the ownership of a variety of boats in different areas.
• More extensive cruising with between-holiday changeovers at remote locations.
• New capital equipment purchases for the boat become affordable allowing better equipment and often a safer boat.
• Can allow professional maintenance to be used at a price which is comfortable, allowing the busier owner more freedom.
• Removes owners “guilt” – all those boats in their marina berths just bobbing around.
• Shared experiences with other owners.

Many share owners find that they sail more when they own a share than when they own the whole boat, as the sailing weeks are allocated.

Yacht Shares can be a variety of sizes, but are typically quarters, thirds or halves in the UK, and quarters or fifths overseas. Sailing weeks are allocated on share size, and length of the season. Typically in Greece the season is 26 weeks, whereas in Spain it’s potentially all year-round.

If the share agreement is correctly drawn up there should not be a problem in having unequal shares.

New Share Group – In the case of both the formation of a new group, and the first division of a yacht, we will supply a share agreement and will work with the existing and new owners to adapt this to a useful document for their group.

The success of a group largely depends upon the compatibility of the various owners, and their mutual respect for each other, and the care of the boat. It is not important to be best of friends – good business colleagues is the best type of relationship.

Wherever possible we try to group owners who have differing time requirements for the boat and who have similar desires from the boat. We do not usually involve ourselves in racing syndicates as we have no experience of the demands and costs associated with serious racing. We would not usually recommend joint ownership with a mix of serious racing and non-racing owners.

Fractional Yacht Ownership : Everything you Need to Know

Fractional yacht ownership is one of the way to own a yacht that might suit your needs.

For most people, owning a luxury yacht means the freedom to move whenever and wherever they want with maximum comfort. However, it is rare to be able to use it 100% of the time. There are options to counteract the time the boat is not is used, and one of the most profitable and comfortable is fractional ownership.

Shared yacht ownership may be for you. But do you know exactly what it means and entails?

Let’s review the pros and cons of this ownership method to assess whether this can suit you, or whether you should continue chartering yachts or owning one fully .

What is fractional yacht ownership?

Fractional boat ownership is exactly what it sounds like. It allows you to own a part of a yacht for usage time on board. You legally own a piece of it as an asset, and like a company share or a bond, you can sell or transfer it. 

People have been sharing boats through informal partnerships with friends or family members for eons. Fractional boat ownership is simply a formalization of these arrangements which offers you more legal protection in case of conflicts. 

Each owner pays an equity stake in the vessel depending on what percentage of the purchase they want. 

In return, each owner is allotted a set number of days they are allowed to use the boat each year proportionally to their investment. 

On top of the share, the owners have to pay an annual maintenance fee to the management company taking care of managing the calendar, crew, and maintenance of the boat throughout the year.

Fractional boat ownership is different from a time-share which only gives you the rights of property used for a certain amount of time. Once your time is over, your investment also is.

To help you to decide if fractional yacht ownership is right for you, here are the pros and cons you might consider.

The Pros of fractional yacht ownership

By sharing the purchase price, but also the operating and maintenance costs between the owners, fractional boat ownership lightens your investment considerably, allowing you to make serious savings. Financially, but not only.

Fractional boat ownership will also help you to save time on managing different aspects. Indeed, the management company will take care of it – from hiring a crew to coordinating maintenance, to managing the calendar among all owners, to deal with marinas. If you don’t use the yacht, the management company will help you to charter it.

When you use your time aboard, you are free to invite anyone you want. This kind of program is often located in an area, but with the majority of other owner’s agreements, you can cruise the boat in new locations.

If you no longer wish to own a fraction of the yacht, most fractional ownership agreements allow you to easily sell your fractional shares to someone else. Since this kind of program keeps the yachts well-maintained, the value of your share will not devalue so quickly and you’ll be able to more easily change boats than with full ownership.

Furthermore, some fractional ownership organizations maintain fleets that allow you to use a different yacht, enjoy another location, or make up for time lost because of weather or maintenance issues. 

The Cons of fractional yacht ownership

The main drawback of fractional yacht ownership is obviously that you have to share your boat with other owners

Some downsides include that even if you own a part of the yacht, you can’t do whatever you want with it. For example, You can’t personalize a fractionally owned yacht. In fact, you probably won’t have a say on the outfitting or the decoration at all.

You don’t have a lot of flexibility either to use your yacht whenever you want. The yacht isn’t at your disposal all the time and itineraries are planned in a way that you choose your slot in advance. Your last-minute getaways are therefore compromised. 

It also means that the boat might not be available for the particular dates you would like to use it. Read properly the agreement, as some of them allow first come – first served during the unscheduled time if no maintenance is required.

When it comes to moving the yacht, most of the owners have to agree on the destination, so you can be stuck with one area, which can be an issue if you are planning on moving a lot. To relocate your yacht for an extended period of time, you will usually need every owner’s approval. 

On the other hand, most owners may decide to move the boat to an area you don’t particularly like. If you were to charter a boat, you would simply pay a moving fee, but in this case, you are stuck!

Depending on the contract, it is possible that if the majority of the owners want to sell the ship, it can get sold out from under you. So read it carefully!

In fact, the main disadvantage of fractional yacht ownership lies in its name: you only own a portion of the yacht, which means you are not in full control of your property.

Is Fractional yacht ownership for you?

To know  if fractional boat ownership is for you or not, answer these different questions:

• Is it important for you to be in total control of your yacht?
• Do you have time and funds to deal with your yacht’s maintenance costs?
• Are you planning to sail in one area or to explore the world?
• Is having a customized yacht important to you?
• Are you flexible on dates?

Depending on your answers, fractional yacht ownership can be, or not a good option for you.  If you want to save on costs, if you are likely to use it several times throughout the year in one particular region, if you know which boat you want or if you want to invest in a yacht to charter it, then go for shared boat ownership.

For people who don’t want to deal with the hassles of single-ownership, it is also a solution to consider.

On the other hand, people who like changes, whether it’s to try out numerous yachts or to change regions often, are better off sticking with yacht chartering.

For those who don’t want to share and can’t stand the idea of being a co-owner, buying your boat is likely your best option if you can afford it. 

Keep in mind that most fractional yacht ownership programs concern large yachts, like superyachts and mega yachts which require crew. If you enjoy captaining your boat and your friends and family enjoy being the crew, you may lose that aspect of yachting in some way.

The costs of Fractional yacht ownership

You pay your share at the beginning to purchase your portion of the yacht. 

There are no traditional yacht ownership expenses in fractional ownership programs like dockage, moorings, insurance, or boat maintenance costs. But depending on the program you go for, either you will have to pay a certain amount every year to the management company or it will be covered by the charter revenues or a mix of both.

As an example, for a 63-foot yacht with four cabins, some programs offer the cost of the eighth share in the Mediterranean around $180,000 with annual costs for maintenance, crew, insurance, and anchorage around $24,000. Owners will be able to use the boat 4 weeks a year. Another management company offers a California program from $300,000 to $735,000 plus operating costs for quarter shares of vessels ranging from 52 to 82 feet. At this price, the four owners will each be able to use the boat 72 days a year.

The main regions in the world for fractional yacht ownership

Fractional yacht ownership can be done everywhere. 

Popular destinations include Europe, in particular, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, especially the Bahamas.

Among the main regions in the US for fractional boat ownership, you have Miami and Fort Lauderdale, but also Cape Cod and Nantucket.

Some programs also offer Asian destinations mostly in Hong Kong, Thailand, and the rest of South-East Asia.

About to buy a yacht?

Were you thinking about Fractional Yacht Ownership? Our professionals will be happy to help you in your endeavors.

Fractional yacht ownership means that you legally own a portion of a yacht, along with co-owners. Therefore you are entitled to use the yacht based on your ownership agreement and must share revenues and costs with other owners.

It depends on your desires and your personality. If you like changes, try out a different yacht model every year and change frequently of destination, then go for yacht chartering. If, on the contrary, you have a crush on a yacht, want to start owning it at a lower cost, and avoid the management requirements, fractional boat ownership is ideal. Unlike chartering, fractional ownership means you can invite as many guests as deemed safe and as long as you have proper safety equipment on board.

The costs include the purchase price of your ownership share and yearly exploitation and maintenance fees to pay to your management company.

Hard to tell. This depends on your availability if you have time or not to take care of your boat, and your budget. If you don’t want to worry about the management aspects and only have a small budget to invest, go for fractional ownership. If you want to have perfect freedom, use your boat anytime and wherever you want, go for full ownership.

Yes, you can. As long as the share belongs to you, you can sell it whenever you want as long as the agreement doesn’t stipulate anything against it. Be aware that the other owners can also do so.

The most popular regions for fractional ownership are the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. But also, the US and some Asian areas.

You can buy a fraction, or a share, of a yacht. You will be the co-owner, or the fractional owner of the yacht and its cost will be spread among all owners.

Yes, fractional ownership and yacht sharing or even co-ownership are all synonyms. You still become the co-owner of a yacht regardless of how you decide to call it.

A yacht sharing program allows you to co-own a yacht, so that you spread its maintenance cost among all owners. It is also known as fractional ownership or co-ownership programs.

Only pay a down-payment

We offer financing of up to 80% of your share. Combine this with right-sized ownership and your purchase price could be as little as 2 ½ percent of the yacht’s value. Imagine the kind of yacht you suddenly can afford…

A ten million dollar yacht can be had for just a quarter million, and a million dollar yacht for just twenty-five thousand, while enjoying weeks on end at enchanting destinations.

Never pay anything else

But yachts can be profitable too. By renting out your yacht—chartering as it’s called—you can generate a generous income. In fact, we make chartering your yacht so profitable it usually pays for all expenses, often even your loan payments. So other than your down-payment in most instances, you’ll never pay anything else to own your very own luxury yacht.

You are buying a real asset. Your yacht gets titled to its own single-asset LLC, which you own, along with any other fractional owners. This means your investment is backed by a real asset, you can benefit from tax write-offs, and at the end of the management term when the yacht is sold, the proceeds are distributed to its owners.

We manage it

You own the yacht, not the headache. We take care of everything, from financing and insurance to crew training and trip planning. When you hear from us, it will be your concierge requesting your food and drink preferences to set the menu for your next trip.

Cheers to you, for buying a yacht the smart way.

Positively cash-flow positive

Owning the yacht without owning the expenses is only possible because of the income we generate on your behalf to pay for everything. Now…

Imagine you bought the whole yacht instead of a fraction, and yet you still only spend a few weeks a year on your private yacht. This opens up much more time to charter the yacht, making the revenue not only pay for all expenses, it becomes a cash-flowing asset.

Depending on the yacht, the cash-on-cash return can be as high as 70% annually.

Mediterranean Luxury Yacht Charter

Believe the hype! The Mediterranean welcomes you with a unique combination of enjoyable climate, delightful coastlines, rich history and diverse culture. A Mediterranean luxury yacht charter means you will enjoy some of the best destinations in the world.

Why the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean is the most sought-after summer yacht charter area for a good reason. From the idyllic beaches of Greece and hidden treasures of Turkey, to the sun kissed Italian coast and the glitz of the French Riviera, the Eastern and Western Mediterranean has something to offer to even the most discerning sea lovers. Family charters, corporate retreats, romantic escapes, luxury sailing yacht events, the Med has some fabulous spots waiting for you, with a perfect backdrop for each escape you could imagine.    

Yacht Charter Hotspots in the Mediterranean

Looking for the best Mediterranean yacht charter hotspots? There’s plenty to choose from, both West and East Mediterranean offering spectacular cruising grounds, unforgettable itineraries and countless exciting on shore activities.   

West Mediterranean

In the Western Med, the glitz and glam of Monaco on the French Riviera rivals the idyllic charm of Capri on the seductive Amalfitano Coast in Italy. Nice, St Tropez and Cannes are also frequently requested by many of our clients in their yacht charter itineraries in France. Sardinia, with its breathtaking Costa Smeralda, and Corsica, with its impressive geographical diversity, also rank high on the wishlist of the most experienced sea lovers.   

The Mediterranean’s largest island, Sicily, and the nearby unspoilt Aeolian Islands make an ideal backdrop for an unforgettable West Mediterranean yacht charter vacation. 

Or maybe you would rather join the fiesta on Ibiza, swing your golf club at one of Mallorca’s courses and let adrenaline cool marveling from the deck of your yacht at the tranquil coves of the Balearics. 

East Mediterranean

Might be less celebrated than West Mediterranean, but it is equally beautiful and rich in culture, history, fun and adventure opportunities. 

A yacht charter in East Mediterranean is the best way to discover an overwhelming cultural heritage and vibrant cities with amazing architecture – just think Venice or Dubrovnik!

Turkey is a precious jewel hidden in the plain sight. The Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, the magical Venice, fabulous Montenegro mountains and incredible, breathtakingly crystal-clear aquamarine waters of the Adriatic Sea allure millions of travellers with their charms.  

Greece welcomes you with thousands of fantastic islands sprinkled all around the Aegean and the Ionian. You can always find here a new exciting island-hopping itinerary you have not done yet.

A luxury yacht charter vacation in this part of the Mediterranean Sea is a perfect, mistake-proof choice for those in the know.

Exploring the West Mediterranean

West Mediterranean is the quintessential yachting area and is most popular for large luxury yachts and clients who love supreme luxury. You can find here anything from the glam and glitz of exclusive resorts and flashy cities to tranquil anchorages and laid-back waterside seafood tavernas.  

This is an ideal destination for a family yacht charter vacation. Amazing weather, calm waters, scenic shorelines, famed cuisine, perfect beaches and historical landmarks will impress everyone. 

With world class events such as the Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival and Monaco yacht show the West Med is also a prime choice for a corporate yacht charter. Is there any better way to impress your business partners?

West Med is also about history and cultural heritage, fashion and high-end shopping, gourmet experience and vineyards, parties and lively bars.

This yacht charter area really offers everything from simple fun in the sun vacations to the most sophisticated luxury yacht charter escapes. Best time to go is from April to September but there might be specific things to consider as per the final itinerary you want to explore.    

Your friendly Abberley broker is here to help. Once we learn about your exact preferences, we will be able to plan a truly bespoke West Mediterranean yacht charter for you. 

Here are some more resources that can help you get a feeling of a West Mediterranean yacht charter vacation.

Exploring the East Mediterranean

Hedonistic Mykonos, iconic Santorini or the new sensation Milos, the island with moon-like dramatic views? Or maybe you want to charter beyond these famous southern Cycladic Greek islands and discover other spectacular Greek gems in the Ionian Islands, the Saronic, Dodecanes or Sporades. With its islands in the thousands, seductive white washed villages and endless opportunities for custom-made itineraries, Greece seems to have been created from the imagination of sea lovers.

You’ll find spots ideal for kitesurfing – consistent winds, readable waves. You’ll be able to explore thrilling wrecks and deep imposing reefs, the islands of Naxos and Paros are a good start. Hiking, rock climbing, you name it, it’s here. Go for a luxury sailing or motor yacht charter and get ready for sensational discoveries.

Turkey's dramatic and diverse shoreline seems endless. Alacati, the ultimate gourmet delight; Bodrum, with its world class diving and heliskiing hotspot; Istanbul with its unparalleled Byzantine architecture, rich history and irresistible vibe, peaceful Fethiye and Gocek, glamourous Marmaris… the list can go on and on… There is so much to see and do, and chartering a luxury yacht is the most propitious way to make the most of your Turkish vacation.

Looking for a peaceful hideaway with family and kids? Or maybe you are more into water sports and partying with friends? Possibly you need a stress-free time in a cool setting? An Adriatic luxury yacht charter, with its diverse, fascinating destinations, will guarantee your desires are met. Croatia with hundreds of picture-perfect islands and medieval cities, Pula and Dubrovnik just to name a couple. Unspoiled islands far from the busy resorts. Sun-kissed vineyards and select wineries. Idyllic olive groves and bays of breathtaking beauty.

To sum it up, consider that two of the most romantic places on earth are in the East Mediterranean. If you are planning a European romantic escape on a yacht, your itinerary should definitely include Venice in Italy or Santorini in Greece.

Italian Coast

Indulge in la dolce vita on the Italian Coast, where substandard food, wine or coffee is sacrilegious, and swish resorts are playgrounds for the mega-wealthy. Whether you’re drawn to the rustic, romantic beauty of Cinque Terre, the opulence of Capri or the breathtaking vistas offered up by Positano, we’ll create a tailored itinerary that will exceed your every expectation.

Sicily and Lipari Island

For a luxurious sojourn off the beaten track, you’d do well to tie up in Sicily and Lipari. Adventure seekers are spoilt for choice in Sicily, where you can get close and personal with the smouldering active volcano, Mount Etna. And connoisseurs of food and wine will be pleased with Lipari, the gateway to the rest of the fabulous Aeolian Islands.

Sicily Yacht Charter Lipari and the other Aeolian Islands

SARDINIA AND CORSICA

These two unmissable islands, Sardinia and Corsica, are both marvelous choices for your pampered yacht charter. Perhaps most importantly, there are the beaches – featuring pristine white sand and water so clear you can see your toenails (so best keep them manicured). Visit the luxe resort of Porto Vecchio, take in dramatic vistas in Bonifacio, or tie up in exclusive Porto Cervo.

Porto Cervo Yacht Charter Olbia Yacht Charter Bonifacio Yacht Charter Ajaccio Yacht Charter Porto Vecchio Yacht Charter

Long, drawn-out lunches; an abundance of cheese, ham and olive oil; a penchant for taking pleasure in the small things – there’s something so appealing about the Spanish way of life. Soak it up in the vibrant city of Barcelona, or create memories to last a lifetime in Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands.

Ibiza Yacht Charter Mallorca Yacht Charter Barcelona Yacht Charter

Greece is a heady amalgamation of culture, history, glorious coastlines and awe-inspiring natural beauty. It’s the perfect choice for your next family vacation or corporate retreat. Chartering a masterfully-crafted yacht ensures that, after a day of watersports in Lefkada or wine tasting in Santorini, you can relax with family and friends in total comfort and luxury.

ROME (Reuters) - The shipwreck of a luxury yacht moored off the coast of Sicily is the latest sign that the Mediterranean is becoming a more dangerous sea to sail in, climate experts and skippers say.

One man died and six people are still missing, including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, after the Bayesian, a 56-metre-long (184-ft) sailboat, was hit by a ferocious storm on Monday, sinking in a matter of minutes.

Climatologists say global warming is making such violent and unexpected tempests more frequent in a sea used as a summer playground for millions of tourists, including a wealthy few sailing its waters on superyachts.

Luca Mercalli, president of Italy's meteorological society, said the sea surface temperature around Sicily in the days leading up to the shipwreck was about 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), almost three degrees more than normal.

"This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms," he told Reuters.

The changes in "Mare Nostrum" (Our Sea), as the ancient Romans called the Mediterranean, are also being noticed by experienced skippers such as Massimo Aramu, who runs the Akua sailing school on the coast near the Italian capital.

Currently sailing around Greece, Aramu said he did not like navigating Italy's Tyrrhenian coast around Sicily or the Spanish Balearic islands because there are "often critical situations with little warning".

Last week, a storm similar to the one that sank the Bayesian hit the Balearic archipelago, which includes the islands of Ibiza and Mallorca, leaving several yachts washed up ashore.

Giuliano Gallo, a former skipper who crossed the Atlantic and has written several books on sailing, said the Mediterranean was becoming more like the Caribbean, which has areas that many boats steer clear of at certain times of the year.

"But things are less predictable in the Mediterranean," he said.

Another sign of the more erratic weather in the Mediterranean was seen a year ago when thousands of people were killed in Libya by flash floods triggered by a so-called medicane - a supercharged Mediterranean storm fuelled by warmer seas.

Karsten Borner, the captain of a boat that was moored alongside the Bayesian but escaped harm, said Monday's storm had been "very violent, very intense, a lot of water and I think a turning system like a tornado".

He also blamed more frequent episodes of intense heat during the summer months for playing a role in causing such storms.

"The water is ... way too hot for the Mediterranean and this causes for sure heavy storms, like we had one week ago on the Balearics, like we had two years ago in Corsica and so on," he said.
