Overview of the SailTime owner-member programme

SailTime™ Boat Owners enjoy a boat ownership program that combines access to regular sailing with high quality yacht management and peace of mind, all for significantly reduced financial cost when compared to traditional ownership.
 
SailTime Fractional sailing is an innovative approach to boating access and ownership that makes it easier, quicker and more economical for aspiring skippers to take the helm of a new boat.
 
Most people who own a yacht use it just 3-4 times per month and the cost of ownership is high: marina fees are $600-$1000 per month, monthly finance repayments can range from $2500 to $4000 then there are boat repairs and maintenance, insurance, cleaning.....the list goes on and on!
 
SailTime provides a proven innovative and affordable approach to sailing. You can enjoy ownership of a highly specified, fully maintained luxury Beneteau yacht and earn income to offset your marine mortgage repayments at the same time. Using our experience of operating more than 60 bases with a fleet of more than 160 boats worldwide, we can offer a proven marketing program that gets you on the water and makes financial sense.
