All costs will be shared equally between the owners. Each owner will only pay for his or her own expenses for fuel, food and drinks.
The first boat available for shared ownership now is . Princess 75. The 24-meter yacht comes with an impressive fleet of toys: speedboat tender, water skis, «banana», Seabob, snorkeling gear, and more.
YachtQuarters may be of interest to those new to ownership who are hesitant to take on the full cost of ownership due to lack of experience, or those who lack the finances to purchase and own a yacht alone.
Moreover, each of the four lucky owners will feel like the sole owner onboard, as the caring crew will be on hand to exchange the owners' personal belongings in advance and to prepare food according to individual preferences.
