Fractional Yacht Membership - Its a "Green" Thing to Do

Its sharing, and your mother would be proud. Its also "Green" and you should be proud. There is more to factional ownership than saving money, although you do save a small fortune, other reasons a fractional yacht membership is a smart choice is that they are convenient and there are no headaches. These programs are called fractional, because it will cost you a fraction of the cost of sole ownership.

Since the average owner of a sole ownership yacht uses the yacht around 21 days out of the year, they end up paying for the other 344 days, 345 leap years days, anyway. Seems like a waste of money, time and resources, and that's what "Green" is all about...waste.
There are many types of fractional sharing, such as condos, resorts, cars, planes and now yachts.
What they all share in common is the concept of less waste. As we all know our resources are limited. Imagine the resources saved in building only one megayacht, compared with building 5, 10 or 15. Its not only a smart concept it is sensible. There is a trend of new consumer behavior, no matter which economical profile one may fit. Saving resources before and after use are important to the environment. Fractional ownership is a way of doing the right thing for the earth, and adding to the benefits of course, is saving a lot of money.

Fractional ownership is not only about the savings, but a membership in a fractional yacht club is much more. Owners should enjoy the experience, its not about assets, its about fun. Just show up, be sure to call ahead for your favorite food and beverages, etc. and just enjoy. Its a hassle-free turnkey concept. Naples Yacht Partners, with home port in Naples, Florida goes even further. As a member you pay no fees for captain and crew, insurance, docking, maintenance and cleaning. Plus they have a concierge program that will pick you up at the airport.
Yacht sharing has really taken off recently, with many companies vying for market share.
As Dr. Loren Simkowitz, president of Monocle Fractional Yachts states, " If individual ownership is so wonderful, why are there 985,000 boats for sale." -
Now that seems like a waste.
