Advantages
SailTime is the new alternative to traditional boat ownership. Consider this, most people who own a yacht use it only 2-3 times per month. Yet the cost of ownership is high: marina fees are £400-£500 per month, your monthly mortgage repayment could range from £750 to £1,100 yacht maintenance is expensive, there is insurance and the list goes on and on!
With Fractional Sailing you share access to a new yacht with seven other Members. Individually, you are guaranteed at least seven sail times per month, and SailTime takes care of the insurance, marina fees, cleaning and repairs of the yacht - all for a monthly Membership fee that is usually less than a day's charter rate or the monthly marina charges for a similar boat.
With normal boat ownership, if you get tired of the boat you have to sell it. With Fractional Sailing there is no long-term commitment. Members can opt out of the programme any time they want with minimal restrictions. The appeal of SailTime is that it's essentially a turn-key system, Members simply point, click, and sail!
