About SailTime

The affordable alternative to boat ownership, syndicates and boat share

SailTime Australia offers an equity-free approach to sailing that makes it easier, quicker and more affordable for aspiring or experienced skippers to get out on the water.

Graham Raspass launched SailTime Australia's first base at Newport on Pittwater in April 2009, bringing a proven international model to the Australian market for the first time. Today, SailTime Australia operates sailing memberships at Sydney Harbour, Middle Harbour, Pittwater and Port Stephens, with a new base soon to open on Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay.

Our fleet features Beneteau Oceanis sailing yachts across our NSW bases, plus a Swift Trawler at Port Stephens for members who prefer to cruise under power. Through a new partnership with Dufour Yachts, a Dufour 41 will be the first yacht at the Port Phillip Bay base. As our fleet grows, we're also welcoming new Owner Investors, including anyone interested in bringing a catamaran into the SailTime fleet.

In addition to membership on board our yachts, we offer training, regattas, flotillas and other membership experiences that make SailTime a genuinely unique way to get on the water.

Each SailTime base is independently owned and operated by a local base owner who takes pride in giving members a memorable experience every time they go out on the water. Additionally each base owner takes care of all the boats’ maintenance and operational needs, so you can simply enjoy your time sailing with friends and family.

We offer memberships on high-quality sailboats and powerboats.

It’s this simple: You pay the membership fee, reserve your time online and head to the boat to sail with your crew. When you’re finished for the day, you button it up for the next member, step off and walk away planning your next trip.

Imagine the thrill of riding the waves and heading for a secluded bay at sunset to enjoy a quiet dinner with friends and family. A SailTime boating membership gives you the time onboard so you can have the thrill of creating lasting memories like these.
