When Joining a Fractional Membership Program Does Size Matter

The size of the fractional program can matter, and definitely the size of the yacht matters.
Most good programs are based on average usage. Yachters, on the average go out on the water 21-25 days per year. That is exactly the reason why fractional ownership is such a brilliant idea. Why pay for the other 340 days you are not using the yacht. So, as long as your share is 20 something days, partial ownership is for you. If you have in the past and do intend to use the yacht more, you can purchase your own yacht at a significant cost or even buy two shares of a fractional, which still saves you a bundle and gives you twice the amount of water time. With the fractional membership you also do not pay for insurances, docking, captain and crew, cleaning and scheduled maintenance.

Now, back to boat size - Size matters. Most fractional yacht ownership programs have motor yachts that are usually 30' - 40' in length. They are beautiful vessels, but limited in how many people you can comfortably fit and limited to your list of destinations. Typically the motor yacht owned in a partnership is a daytime cruiser. There are a few companies that offer larger yachts, which will sleep 6 or more and allow you to chart a course for the Bahamas and beyond.
One of those membership companies is Naples Yacht Partners. With home port in Naples, Florida, they provide their members with an extraordinary 80' luxury yacht. Great for entertaining other couples and large families, this very comfortable sized yacht opens up all kinds of possibilities for exotic destinations.
