As every yacht owner can testify, it’s an expensive hobby. Euro Yacht Share has come up with a convenient solution for those who would like a yacht without the hassle. With schemes starting from just £17,000 for a five-year plan, would-be skippers can sail a yacht for five weeks per year in exotic Marbella and St. Tropez.
The company has gone from strength to strength since its inception earlier this year. Director, Scott Christie said “We have been over whelmed at our success at the PSP Southampton Boat show last week with literally hundreds of interested parties making reservations. We are adding another Sealine F42/5 to our fleet in time for the London Boat Show in January 2010 and a Sailing Yacht (possibly a Bavaria 47) due to popular demand. We company is currently in the process of expanding to locations in Bulgaria, the Balearic Islands and Turkey, giving members an opportunity to visit a dazzling array of locations.”
Euro Yacht Share has simplified the process of owning a yacht: not only do members have a choice of various locations around Europe, the company also takes care of all the additional costs associated with yachting, such as maintenance and mooring fees. Members only need take care of fuel. It is this simplicity which has lead to the growing success of the company.
Looking through Euro Yacht Share’s website (http://www.euroyachtshare.com), it’s hard not to be impressed. The velvety blue backgrounds evoke the sparkling Mediterranean sea, and alluring photos of coastal towns and yachts entice and encourage browsers to consider themselves in that situation. In order to cope with the growing interest from people, the company is creating its own communication system, dubbed the ‘internal exchange system’, which is set to become live in March 2010. This system is designed to facilitate ease of communication between the company and members, ensuring that whatever happens, a speedy response is at hand.
The company will be unveiling the latest addition to its fleet, the luxurious Sealine 42/5 2010 at the London Boat Show in January. This model is exceptionally luxurious, with a walnut and leather finish which complements its sleek outlines, there’s no doubt that everyone who will travel in her will fall in love at first sight. It’s no slouch on the inside, either. Powerful Volvo Penta D6 engines (870HP) will propel her through the water.
The company may be young, but it’s already shown that it has the ideas and the boats to go far. The level of interest so far indicates that even in a recession, there’s a great demand for hassle-free yachting. One can only speculate on how the company will mushroom when good times roll back again….
