Understanding Yacht Membership: Is It Considered Fractional Ownership?

You might wonder if Yacht club membership is a type of fractional ownership combined with a yacht management company?

To clarify: the Yacht Membership club does not involve fractional ownership. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

In a Fractional Ownership arrangement, at least two investors purchase the yacht together. A specific contract is established between the co-owners. All costs associated with ownership are the responsibility of the co-owners.

This is very different from the Yacht Membership Club setup

A group of investors contributes to a package valued between 10 million and 15 million Euro.

Since the yachts at the Yacht Membership Club come fully equipped and with a range of watersports gear, the investment for each yacht ranges from 3 million to 6 million euros.

This implies that an investor owns between 3 and 5 yachts.

The Club oversees the ships and provides monthly reports to the investors and the specific club members, detailing the complete status and logs of the ship, including maintenance and repair records.

As the member has invested in the ship and receives a cashback upon contract completion, the club guarantees complete transparency for all stakeholders.

The Yearly fee for the club member covers the management fees and the risks exploiting the yacht.
