How Boatshare Ownership Works

The Essentials

At Sydney BoatShare, we offer genuine boat ownership, not time credit membership.

Our owners share initial purchase costs and on-going operating costs, and receive their share of net sale proceeds back when the vessel is sold. Equity shares in a luxury vessel syndicate are discerning investments, combining the best of luxury boating and a truly enjoyable asset.

Buying a Share*
Sydney BoatShare offers 10 and 20% shares across the fleet
A 10% share gives owners access to their vessel 33 days each year
Owners also have unlimited stand-by days, available when the boat is not in use†
Boat syndicates comprise a maximum of 10 owners and usually operate for up to three years
Sydney BoatShare can provide flexible in-house finance to approved applicants with up-front cash required as low as only $30,000 on some shares; please contact us for more information††
A 10% share in our most luxurious vessel syndicate, the Princess P54 Flybridge, are equivalent to approximately $65,000** per annum over a three-year term
Shares in the popular Riviera M400 Sports Cruiser syndicate are equivalent to approximately $25,000** per annum over a three year term.
