Yacht ownership & sailing schemes

Yacht ownership can be within your reach through yacht charter management and we offer a comprehensive management package designed to go beyond your expectations. There are many good companies to choose from, but we pride ourselves on being a little different through cultivating a true partnership with our owners.

It's not just a dream to own a yacht and it is certainly within the reach of many who thought otherwise until they heard of the charter business. But others want the benefits of being able to sail regularly, without the responsibility that comes with actually owning a boat.

To make dreams become reality Solent Sail now offers a choice of four schemes, one of which may suit you:

Scheme	Traditional	Fractional ownership	Fractional share	Sailing Club
Ownership	You buy a boat either through a dealer of your choice or through our links with dealer to secure an extra discount		No, but you have a say in major equipment purchases and any extended cruising arrangements	No
Capital Costs	Marine mortgage or your own capital to buy the boat		None
Monthly costs	Berthing, insurance, maintenance	£399 (but see risks)	£399	£200
Income	60% of any charter fees arising on the boat		None
Personal use	As much as you wish, and whenever you want.	Up to 7 sailing days or nights per month that you can 'bank' and take later as required (subject to availability on the schedule).		Up to 10 weekends sailing for you per year with our book-a-berth cruises.
Risks	Boat doesn't generate as much income as you would like or uninsured  repairs are required.	Insufficient members of your share group to cover the costs of ownership.	None, costs and benefits are fixed.
Exit strategy	At the end of our agreement, you will own the boat outright.		None as you sign up for a year at a time.	Minimal as you can join or leave with just one month's notice whenever you wish.
