Then see why NauticShare is the best fit for you

Private Boat Ownership can be a risky financial choice. After factoring depreciation and all the other expenses associated with boating, your monthly boating costs can quickly tally to thousands of dollars. Not to mention reselling a boat can be a very long and expensive process. A NauticShare membership solves all of these problems.

Beware of traditional Boat Clubs offering "unlimited access" or "use of the entire fleet." While this may sound ideal, it does not work for every member. Boat Clubs simply cannot guarantee every member their choice of weekend/holiday and especially their preferred boat type throughout the duration of their membership. That’s why NauticShare limits its membership count per boat in order to offer you the guaranteed access you desire. And if the boat is available and not reserved by you in advance, you are able to sail at no additional costs. These spur-of-the-moment cruises will not affect additional cruises since they are available at no charge.

Though Fractional Ownership may be sold with the promise of affordability and appears to make good sense for this type of boating lifestyle, this option doesn’t work well long term and carries major risk. With boating, there are too many variables: where to keep the boat, which partner pays for the "wear and tear" or other unreported damage, etc. What happens if a partner decides to stop boating or becomes financially unable to pay their portion? NauticShare avoids this potential mess. We handle all maintenance and upkeep costs, so you get to enjoy the ride without worrying about the details.

NauticShare Membership is simply the smartest, easiest, most affordable way to gain access to a boat in your local waterway. Check our locations to find out if NauticShare is available in your area.
