Fractional Ownership

Maximum yachting pleasure - Minimum costs

Owning your own yacht is linked to high acquisition and maintenance costs, which are offset by a relatively short period of use. Chartering a yacht does not always work out and can be expensive. SmartYacht presents the sensible alternative: the magic formula is "fractional ownership" - invest together to benefit individually.

Individual solutions

SmartYacht offers 1/9, 1/6 or 1/3 shares of yachts of different brands and sizes starting from 50 feet, with and without crew. Placed at prestigious locations in the Mediterranean, shareholders can use their own yacht as often as they like, in contrast to conventional timeshare models. The management ensures a fair distribution of use among them, guaranteeing each shareholder a guaranteed right of use of at least 6 to 18 weeks per year.

Flexible access to yachts

Short- and long-term reservations can be made conveniently via an online system that has been tried and tested over many years. Depending on the desired intensity of use, shareholders can temporarily release their yacht for charter, in order to reduce the annual pro-rata costs many times over. A yacht multi-location-system also provides flexible access to other yachts at other locations and therefore results in valuable savings in terms of fuel efficiency and maintenance costs as well as air and water pollution.

Lifestyle included

SmartYacht takes care of all aspects of professional yacht management and offers its customers a service and lifestyle package with exclusive services that make every yacht stay a luxury experience. Requested refreshments can be ordered in advance, personal belongings are on board when customers arrive, and a luxury limousine is available for use during their stay. The crew navigates to picturesque bays and anchors off secluded beaches on request, while a professional service team works discreetly in the background to fulfill individual customer requests.

Cost Awareness & Safety

The SmartYacht concept focuses on an optimal cost-effectiveness and provides a high level of security for customers. Each shareholder receives a securitized share right in the desired yacht corresponding to the share subscribed. The proportional annual costs are transparent and include the year-round yacht management as well as numerous services. The owner company and the management company are strictly separated from each other for optimal protection of the co-owners. Each shareholder can freely trade and/or resell his yacht share on the market at any time. The management ensures a safe and smooth process and, if desired, also acts as intermediary for potential buyers.
