Why Yacht Sharing is the Future of Yachting
The pandemic has changed a lot about how we live, work and travel. As such, yachting has surged in popularity as increasing numbers of people seek private and exclusive holidays at sea. A yacht offers a self-sufficient sanctuary with five-star amenities and a dedicated crew ready to cater to your every need. If owning a private boat seems beyond reach, however, the concept of yacht sharing is an exciting alternative.
What makes yacht sharing the holiday of the future?
While private yachts may seem the ultimate in extravagance, by entering a yacht share scheme, you can enjoy all the pleasures that a luxury vessel brings, with none of the running costs or commitments. Not only does yacht sharing guarantee you and your loved ones plenty of glorious holidays in the years to come, but should restrictions come into place again, working and home-schooling from the privacy of your own yacht could even become a reality.
Sustainability
For those concerned about the environment, the future of yachting is looking green, too, with the entire industry now focusing on sustainability. Increasingly, yachts and superyachts are becoming more fuel-efficient while using recycled materials and avoiding single-use plastics. This means that if you take on shared superyacht ownership, you can do so with a clear conscience.
Take, for example, the exquisite eco-friendly yacht SILENT 55, a 17-metre solar-powered catamaran ideal for those who wish to leave only footprints behind. This award-winning yacht is ideal for intimate holidays on the water, while her unlimited range and a top speed of 20 knots enable you to explore the very best of the Mediterranean with ease.
Or how about yacht SILENT 80, a 24-metre solar-powered catamaran that boasts ample room for the entire family. She can comfortably accommodate 12 guests, while her wide range of amenities, including a Jacuzzi, portside bar, and large sun pads, are perfect for enjoying refined experiences at sea.
Luxury Amenities
You can also expect many fantastic, luxury amenities onboard during your yacht sharing holidays – where else can you indulge in the fine dining of your choice, as and when you’d like it, with all your culinary requirements catered for? Or how about luxury spa facilities with massages and hammam-style treatments, or even your own private swimming pool and beach club?
Vacationing through a yacht share offers you all the freedom you could wish for, with tenders making onshore visits easy and a range of water toys to keep both the kids – and the grown-up kids – entertained for hours on end. The experienced and friendly crew will be happy to teach your loved ones how to use jet skis, kayaks, snorkelling equipment, and more in complete safety.
Flexibility for Large Groups
Another advantage to shared superyacht ownership is the flexible layouts they offer to accommodate large groups, with different below-deck configurations providing a choice between cabins, saloons or offices. The flexibility of having your own floating five-star hotel also means that your guests can join and leave as they please, flying in or out of agreed destinations so that you can entertain all the generations of your family as and when it suits everyone.
While private yacht ownership can be expensive and time-consuming, the alternative of yacht sharing provides a worry-free solution, with the team at SmartYacht ensuring smooth operations between all shareholders, from contract design and movement of funds through to professional yacht management services.
