Sailtime

Edit text   |   Edit all fields

Sailtime is a fractional sailing program whereby people pay an annual fee to have access to a new (or virtually new) Hunter 33 or 36 foot sailboat.

Fractional sailing is an innovative new approach to sailboat access and ownership that makes it easier, quicker and more economical people to go sailing on a new model boat. It's like a time share, but with a sailboat.

42 bases are now active throughout the U.S., Canada, the Carribean, England, and the Netherlands.

How It Works

1. A sailboat is "shared" by seven Members and one Owner Member who each are guaranteed, but not restricted to, at least two weekend sail times and five weekday/night sail times every month. Additionally, each sailing Member is entitled to unlimited "as-available" use on a 24-hour notice at no extra cost.

2. Members design their own sailing calendar using the online SailTime Scheduler.

3. Members can make instant sailing reservations or plan up to a year in advance and can even request to swap sail times with other Members.

4. If a Member fails to use all of their sail time in one month, they can carry it over to the next month. Time can also be borrowed from a forward month for extended cruising.
