The Benefit Of Owning A Boat Share

By Beth Green


A boat share is a wonderful way to have ownership in a boat that you cannot otherwise afford. You will have a part in the ownership, but not tied up with all the responsibilities of full ownership. You would own it along with other people, and it is a resalable asset as well.

Sharing an asset such as watercraft lends freedom to walk on and off it with few to no responsibilities with maintenance and upkeep. Also, in this type of plan, you can have a skipper included, too. The skipper is familiar with the sea, if you aren't, so you can get a skipper if you needed to. With this type of asset, you don't even need to worry about watercraft insurance.

A benefit of ownership in this type of asset is that you have the luxury without the hassles of upkeep, maintenance and services. There is no worry about having to service it, or maintain it, or any mechanical hassles. This would be the hassles that would happen if you had owned the watercraft yourself. If you wish to sell your part of the asset, you would be able to cash it in.

You can choose a plan where there is a cleaning service. This can come at a higher cost. But, if you want to enjoy the watercraft without any further responsibilities, then this is a great choice and an option that is available to you.

If you paid for the most inclusive of options, all you would really need to pay for is the fuel for the watercraft. This is a great deal. Then you wouldn't even have a good deal of the other responsibilities, such as cleaning. You would just bring the watercraft back and they would clean it for you.

The only downside that I can see with this is that you have to plan around the weeks that you can use the watercraft. It isn't like you can just go out on the water whenever you feel like it. You will have to plan when you will book your time on the watercraft. A boat share is an excellent idea.
