SailShare versus Rental
Steep rental rates mean renting isn’t cost effective if
you sail more than a day or two per season. Compare and
see the savings for yourself for a 30 foot rental boat:

For the cost of a two hour rental, SailShare gives you
a full six hours. For the cost of a three hour rental, SailShare
gives you a full 24 hour day! Better yet, your I-36 is much
larger than a 30 foot rental. Moreover, you have pride of
ownership, because your I-36 is your yacht for the season,
not just whatever boat is available.

SailShare versus Ownership
Ownership isn’t cost effective either. If you decide to
buy a 36 foot sailboat comparable to our I-36, you can expect
to incur annual ownership costs well into five digits. Here’s
another eye-opener: Your annual cost to own and maintain
even a small 22 foot sailboat is greater than the total
SailShare payment for a full season on one of our Islander
36’s.
