Membership Sailing

Membership sailing (or subscription sailing as it is sometimes referred to) differs from Bareboat Charter or Club sailing, in that for most members their total sailing cost is included within the monthly sailing membership. For many people membership sailing can often be the affordable way to sail, and an alternative to owning a boat as there is no capital commitment and marina mooring costs and insurance are all include within the regular membership sailing subscription.

Each month the myBoatshare.com sailing member has 4 full days sailtime to enjoy on the water from our bases in places like Lymington, Hamble, and Ocean Village Southampton. Because the costs are being shared with others and there is no commitment to actually buy a boat it can be membership sailing can also be considered the alternative to owning a boat or yacht.

Some people call membership sailing by the American term of fractional sailing, or the newer term subscription sailing it is important that when you compare fractional sailing providers that you look at what is included in the package; for example how many full days are there? - can you book only one boat, or can you book and sail any boat in your membership class or upgrade a class? - are there hidden costs and charges? for example again with myBoatshare.com there is no joining fee this is part the reason that membership sailing with myBoatshare.com can be considered the affordable way to sail the dream.

So before you book your next bareboat charter or head off to the yacht brokers and start looking at used boats for sale, consider the alternative to owning a boat myBoatshare.com
