How it works

A real share, not a timeshare.

You co-own a specific boat with a few other people. You get scheduled days on the water and none of the upkeep. Here is exactly what that means.

The three steps

01

Take a share

Buy into one specific yacht alongside a small group of owners. You are an owner of that boat, with a named share, not a points balance.

02

Book your days

Reserve mornings, afternoons, or full days through the member site. The calendar shows what is open, so there is no double-booking and no group text to sort out.

03

We keep her ready

Moorage, maintenance, cleaning, fueling, and insurance are handled between bookings. You arrive to a clean, ready boat and leave the rest to us.

What is handled

Between every booking

The boat is cleaned, checked, and refueled so the next owner steps aboard to the same condition every time. Routine maintenance and the annual haul-out are scheduled around the calendar, not on your day.

Moorage and insurance

The slip in Newport Harbor and the insurance on the boat are part of membership. You do not chase a marina or a policy renewal.

The group stays small

We cap the number of owners per boat so there is always a slot to book and the boat never feels crowded on the schedule. A share is a real stake in one hull, kept that way on purpose.

Shares are limited and open by boat. The next step is a short conversation about which boat and how often you would use her.
