SailShare: The Better Way to Sail.
The concept is simple. We’re working to make sailing an
activity that people can enjoy as easily as skiing or golf,
and without the maintenance hassles and financial commitment
of ownership.
A century ago, skiing enthusiasts built their own rope
tows and maintained their own individual slopes in order
to capture the thrill of skiing. But it was neither time
nor cost effective to own and maintain your own ski lift
and slope. As skiing popularity grew, it became feasible
to built better lifts and longer slopes that could be shared
by skiers. Now you just ski.
Golfers, too, learned to share early on. Instead of owning
and manicuring their own greens and fairways, golfers share
the course and just call for a tee time.
The world of sailing is changing, too. Sailors are discovering
that it is neither time nor cost effective to own and maintain
their own sailing yacht. With SailShare fractional sailing,
you share your personal yacht with other sailors, leaving
ownership concerns to us. With SailShare, you just sail.
With
Olson’s SailShare you escape high hourly and
daily rates of rental yachts, as well as the mortgage payments,
down payment and depreciation that burden yacht owners.
We’re not talking pennies. SailShare has an overwhelming
five to one cost advantage over ownership of a comparable
yacht. Other SailShare advantages mean less hassle and more
time for sailing. With SailShare, you won’t have to:
- commission and then decommission your yacht every year.
- arrange for winter storage, summer mooring, and delivery
to and from each season.
- invest time and effort maintaining your yacht during
the season.
- watch the value of your investment depreciate every year.
- find a buyer for the yacht you already have before moving
up to a larger yacht
With SailShare, you just sail. It is a form of fractional
ownership for the season through which you enjoy ownership
privileges and none of the drudgery of ownership. You get
this at a fraction of the cost of buying and maintaining
a comparable yacht. It’s the better way to sail!
