Fractional Yacht Co-Ownership - offering you access to the planet’s oceans

Almost two -thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, and yet so little is known about the vast depths of the sea. It really is no wonder that there is an immense fascination with this mysterious and magical oceans of the world, and why so many people are drawn to take to the waters. 

When onboard your yacht, the worries and troubles of land life seem to disappear. The gentle lapping waves and aromatic sea breeze wash away all your concerns and all that is left is a calm contentment. 

Teamed with an element of adventure that cannot be found in the luxurious hotels on dry land, a freedom to cruise from island to island, and to hop on and off your floating home at leisure to explore, there is no denying that whatever you want to get from this lifestyle, fractional yacht ownership opens up a world of experiences in the most incredible and luxurious way. 

Yachting made attainable

This incredible lifestyle has traditionally been attainable only to the rich and famous. Sole ownership of a yacht in itself is generally out of reach, even for the wealthy, and that’s before you take into account considerations such as maintenance costs, crew, and fuel. We say generally, as now there is a new key player in the yachting world - yacht co-ownership. Although not an entirely new phenomenon, yacht share has received relatively little attention until recently. 

The MIY Yacht Co-ownership model allows you to buy shares in a yacht, available in eighths. Each share comes with 6 weeks to use your yacht as you wish and your name is on the title deed - you can proudly say ‘this is my yacht’. The maintenance is taken care of by the yacht share company - MIY Yacht - and there is a concierge service on hand to ensure your time on board is comfortable, seamless and enjoyable. This entire experience is yours not only to enjoy, but to own and if discovering the wonders of the ocean in the most luxurious way and all at a fraction of the cost appeals to you (who doesn’t it appeal to!) then joining a yacht share network should be on your radar.

Yacht co-ownership makes dreams a reality

Picture this - you’re on the flybridge of your own luxury yacht. The breeze is gentle on your skin, as you watch the sky turn from pale pink to deep warm tones of amber and gold as the sun sets on another day of island hopping and pure bliss. You hear the kids playing down below on the sundeck, still reeling from their fun-filled day of discovery and adventure. The crew are preparing your dish of choice in the galley as you sip on your aperitif. Where will you go tomorrow? This is the only thing you have to worry about - and even then, you know you only need to ask your MIY Yacht concierge and they can have a whole itinerary planned out for you.

The team at MIY Yacht have hand picked the destinations in which we operate based on their abundance of character, charm and countless activities and excursions available at your disposal - each destination can offer you your full 6 weeks of entertainment and still leave you desperate for more. That said, our handy yacht swap option can also provide you with the opportunity to exchange your weeks on board with other users, in other destinations - from the magical old-world atmosphere in Greece and Croatia, the vibrant Arabian souks in the Gulf to the over-the-top decadence and stunning natural scenery of Monaco and the Cote d’Azur, the world really is your oyster. 

We’ve collated some of the highlights:
