TURN-KEY YACHT OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE

a

Motor & Sail Investment Yachts (Pty) Ltd bring together like-minded people who appreciate life onboard and the associated lifestyle of boat ownership without the hassle, responsibilities or the prohibitive cash outlays associated with single yacht ownership. Purchasing a share in a boat is a sensible investment with substantially lower initial capital requirements, minimal costs toward operating expenses and when and if the time comes that you wish to sell the share, it’s relatively quick and easy. There are over 50 shareholders in our various tried and tested ownership schemes.

PYSA, a company owned by David Abromowitz, Peter Bacon & Howard Godfrey, have an exclusive agreement with International Yacht Brokers, Motor & Sail Investment Yachts (Pty) Ltd. to market and sell the shares.

INVEST IN LIFESTYLE.

Boat ownership requires a significant initial investment together with a high annual operating cost. Boat owners traditionally make use of their boats for an estimated 28 days a year. Therefore, the Shareboats ownership concept provides you with all the benefits of traditional yacht ownership for the time you have available, at a fraction of the cost and the program is flexible to ensure that the total cost of ownership is aligned to your use of the boat.

Boat ownership requires a significant initial investment together with a high annual operating cost. Boat owners traditionally make use of their boats for an estimated 28 days a year. Therefore, the Shareboats ownership concept provides you with all the benefits of traditional yacht ownership for the time you have available, at a fraction of the cost and the program is flexible to ensure that the total cost of ownership is aligned to your use of the boat.

Before you buy any boat, you would need to ask yourself 5 questions:

  1. How much am I willing to spend for this luxury?
  2. How much devotion will I have for its care and maintenance?
  3. How often am I going to use it?
  4. How much time am I willing to expend on managing the daily operations of the crew, weekly and monthly maintenance, purchasing of required parts, monitoring of sub-contractor repairs, certificate of fitness compliance, hours of research, decision making, financial payments, mooring, insurance and crew?
  5. What if something changes in my life and subsequently owning this yacht becomes more of a burden than an asset? How easily will I be able to sell?

If you have answered any of these questions with hesitation or reservation then think of the Shareboats program managed and run by PYSA where you will purchase only the portion you intend to use, you are free of all the headaches and hassles of management and will only spend a % of the acquisition price and all the operating costs. More importantly, each time you go onboard, whether for business purposes or pleasure with the family, this is your yacht, with all the pride and privileges of individual ownership, fully serviced by a Skipper and crew, both at sea and alongside who are there for your enjoyment.  THIS IS NOT A TIME SHARE PROGRAMME – It is OWNERSHIP.

PYSA is the management company for the individual or private companies that own each of the boats in the Shareboats “stable” and are responsible for all the time scheduling, crew appointment, maintenance, daily operations and financial aspects of each yacht providing you with a turnkey solution to the yachting lifestyle. Buying a % share in the vessel secures you the equivalent % shareholding in the company that owns the vessel.

Thereafter, a 10% refundable deposit secures the full set of documents for your perusal and signature.

These include:

  • Sale of Shares Agreement
  • Shareholders Agreement
  • Usage
  • Rules
  • Management Agreement

Once all documents are in place and signed you become the owner of a share or multiple shares in the vessel of your choice.

Operating costs for the vessel is shared amongst the shareholders in the form of a levy and these cover the following:
