Frequently Asked Questions

How is a syndicate created?

Yacht Share connects like-minded owners to co-own a luxury yacht — professionally managed and crewed for seamless enjoyment. Each owner enjoys access to the yacht in proportion to their share, with every stay personally prepared. Your items are placed on board, others’ removed, and everything is set up just like a 5-star hotel suite — with fresh linens, towels, and essentials ready. It’s a turnkey yachting experience, every time you step aboard.

Each syndicate is structured by Yacht Share as an SPV limited company, incorporated in the UK with the sole purpose of owning and operating the vessel. Each syndicate member holds a direct shareholding in the company, proportionate to their equity in the yacht, and becomes part of a community of like-minded owners.

The syndicate is operated for the benefit of its owners and managed by Yacht Share. Yacht Share oversees all day-to-day operations and reports activity through the yacht’s dedicated app, which provides real-time data across every aspect of usage and maintenance. The app also ensures fair scheduling, using an algorithm that allocates onboard time proportionate to each owner’s equity stake.

One syndicate member is appointed as Finance Manager, responsible for overseeing running expenses on behalf of all owners. This role provides financial transparency and ensures the syndicate always receives strong value for money.

Yes — we know one size doesn’t fit all. Some families may only want to yacht a few weeks a year, while others, like retirees, might have more time to enjoy the vessel. This flexibility is achieved by making every aspect of the syndicate proportional to each owner’s equity stake. For example, an owner with a 12-week share contributes triple the maintenance costs compared to an owner with a 4-week share. In return, the 12-week shareholder receives triple the onboard time and selection preferences, making it more likely they’ll secure peak season weeks. In short, all usage and costs are allocated fairly and proportionally to each owner’s share size.

Every yacht in our fleet is customised based on owner preferences through a majority vote. For example, any owner can suggest adding a jetski, seabob, kayak, paddleboard, or other water toys to the yacht’s inventory. This suggestion is then put to a vote via the yacht’s app. If the majority of owners approve, the item is added, and the associated costs are shared pro-rata according to each owner’s equity stake. (Their voting power is also proportional to their equity.)

Marc, Tash, Jack, Fynn and Sam We have 3 teenage lads, and they just didn’t want to come on holiday with us anymore. However, once there was a yacht on offer that suddenly changed. Now they love to come along and we have wonderful family times together. The boys are great company and we have created lots and lots of new family memories that will remain with us forever.

J & I Janotte The yacht share idea always appealed to us, finding a professional and reliable syndicate was harder. I am happy to vouch for Yacht Share Network, they are truly the masters of the universe and make it work incredibly well.

Victoria Harris Boating was never my dream however it was my husband Robert’s ultimate goal in life. Sharing meant we managed to achieve a of this and more with a fraction of the cost. We could still take the children skiing and do all the other things a busy family wants to do. When you see your 7 year old swimming in the sea and in the tender shouting faster whilst laughing and screaming you know that holidays are back to being magical. This has been the making of us as a family thank you so much.

Paul & Phil I’ve known William for many years and he knew that our boat sat empty in Cannes for most of the time. He suggested we sell some shares instead of just burning cash on moorings and maintenance. Yacht Share Network took her into their fleet and we got ¾ of our capital back. Now we just have ¼ of the running costs, and don’t feel so guilty that we only use the boat about 6 weeks of the year.

David Thomson I have to admit, I probably love boating more than my wife does so buying a boat was unlikely to ever happen. A boat share however… I got the boss to approve, and a happy wife is a happy life lol!
