This is the numbers-first version. A fractional share costs something to get into, something to keep, and part of that can be offset. Every figure below is illustrative, and each scales with the vessel and the size of your stake.
Entry
Entry starts at $150,000 for a 5% share (est.). That figure buys real equity in one named yacht, held through a single-vessel LLC, rather than a season pass. Larger shares scale proportionally, so more capital buys more of the calendar.
What it costs to keep
Ongoing costs are shared in line with your share. At 5%, shared operating costs run about $32,500 a year (est.), your proportional slice of crew, dockage, insurance, and maintenance. When you're aboard, an Advance Provisioning Allowance covers fuel, food, and dockage for your trip, typically around $7,000–$10,000 per week (est.).
- Share: from $150,000 for 5% (est.)
- Annual operating (5%): ~$32,500 (est.)
- APA when aboard: ~$7,000–$10,000 / week (est.)
What can offset it
Unused weeks can optionally enter a managed charter program to help reduce your running costs. Treat any charter figure as an illustrative estimate, not a guarantee. The point of the model isn't a payout; it's paying for the water in proportion to how you use it.
