Before investing your hard earned cash in your next sail boat (or your first one for that matter) walk the docks of your local marina and take a look at the green stuff growing on the bottom of most pleasure boats. It's there because the owners are too busy earning money to pay for the slip fees to actually spend much time sailing.
I know what it's like to manage your own business. It's hard to find the time for family and friends, let alone your passion for sailing. When you do finally have a few days to enjoy your boat, you want to be sailing and not painting the bottom or changing the oil. Maintaining your own sailing yacht is a lot of work and ownership can easily turn into a labour of love.
Sure you can charter but the cost is considerable and it lacks that sense of boat ownership that comes with Sail-Share. It takes time to get to know a boat and to feel comfortable to handle her under all conditions. Sail-Share-ing our yacht feels just like boat ownership but without the hassles. We take care of the annual haul-outs and all maintenance tasks. You take care of the sailing.
For hardly more than moorage and insurance you can enjoy 30 days aboard "your own" Hunter 33 sloop sailing the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. Sail-Share offers you a yacht when you have the time to enjoy it for much less than it would cost you to own your own boat or charter.
