The Yacht Collective

The Ultimate Way To Own A Boat

Syndication invites you to co-own a luxury vessel with multiple other carefully selected owners who share the costs and responsibility of the boat. Owners purchase equity as a 1/6th or 1/4th share and pay a monthly nominal fee for maintenance and running costs.

A fair and comprehensive booking system, managed by our team, makes splitting your time easy. This arrangement allows people to enjoy the benefits of boating without the full financial and operational burden of sole ownership.

Why Syndication?

You Co-Own It!

Syndicate shareholders are equity owners of the vessel. They are a collective of vetted individuals who share the enthusiasm and responsibility of caring for the boat. This is a far cry from a conventional time-share program!

Share The Costs

All expenses are evenly split and paid on a monthly basis, making boat ownership more affordable for you. A fair and transparent monthly fee covers our management costs, insurance, maintenance, marina fees, cleaning, laundry and more!

Walk On / Walk Off

A fully managed program means everything is taken care of, bow to stern. All you need to do is book your days and turn up to a clean, maintained vessel. Once you return to the dock, simply refuel, lock up and leave, it's that simple!

1/6th or 1/4th Share

How Often Can I Go Boating?

54 Bookable Days Per Year

Based on a 1/6 share, you are entitled to 54 bookable days per year. These are divided into 18 peak days (weekend days/public holidays) and 36 non-peak days (weekdays). Booking is completed by an online digital calendar, which is broken evenly into 3 trimesters.

Unlimited Standby Days

UNLIMITED standby days are able to be used when your boat is not booked, after 3 PM the day before or by 10 AM the day of booking. Book directly with our management and pay a small $150+GST admin/grooming fee. It's perfect when you want to get on the water on a whim without using up your bookable days.

Want More Time On The Water?

You can buy more than 1 share! Talk to us about options for a larger fractional share.
