What is included?
Additional Costs and Charges
As virtually everything is included in the regular monthly payment the
additional costs of enjoying time on the water as a myBoatshare.com
member are very small indeed.
Costs normally associated with boat ownership that you won’t have to
pay as a myBoatshare.com member include:
Annual mooring fees
Maintenance of the yacht and engine
Fuel
Cooking Gas
Antifouling
Sail cleaning
Servicing
Insurance
Updating of navigation charts and books
All of the above are included. The only areas where you might incur
some modest costs spending time on the water are:
Extra diesel fuel – included in your annual membership is up to 50 litres
of diesel. This should be sufficient for many sea miles under motor and
many hours with the central heating keeping the cabins warm and snug
in the cooler months. - If you require more fuel than this, simply top up
with low cost marine diesel at any suitable fuelling pontoon.
Mooring Fees
When not at your home Marina you pay the mooring fees to the marina or
harbour that you are staying in. These can vary from a free anchorage to
around £25 a night at a popular marina.
Life Jackets
Each yacht has the latest fully automatic, MCA approved
lifejackets on board. However, we recommend – the one off
purchase of personal lifejacket for each regular sailing member
typically £35 - £50 each.
Please see Lifejackets policy section on “Safety” page for full details.
Bookings
There are no charges to book; simply log in to our, easy to use, online Booking scheduler and book the days you want.
Handover
Return time is usually 9.30am with pick-up at noon, but we do try and be flexible; our club like atmosphere means members often communicate with each other directly on the details for handover day.
Cleaning
We ask that you return the yacht in the same condition as when you
collected it. If the boat is returned in an unclean state there will be a
penalty charge, plus the cost of having the boat cleaned.
However we know that cleaning a boat is simply not how some people
want to end their sailing week. Therefore if you want, we can arrange to
have a boat valet company meet you on your return, service the yacht
as required and charge your account.
Cleaning Materials
You will always find the boat has been stocked with the essentials
needed to keep things “ship shape”. Such as washing up liquid, toilet
and shower cleaner, floor and dishcloths, plus a stock of toilet paper,
and a supply of clean tea towels. Wherever possible we will have
chosen the environmentally friendly option.
