Shared Ownership Programs: Dream Fractional® Liberty vs. Dream Fractional® Business

Buying a new boat in co-ownership: what does it mean and how does it work?

Inspired by the “time-share” system, buying a boat in co-ownership is naturally the most economical and advantageous solution. The principle is simple: you buy one or more shares in a new boat, divide the costs with the other co-owners and share the yearly use of the boat. The 5 to 6 year program is structured with a dedicated concierge service for full management and includes the resale of the boat at the end of the contract.

Dream Yacht Sales offers two shared ownership programs: discover the Dream Fractional Liberty vs Dream Fractional Business.

 

Dream Fractional® Liberty

This program is adapted to co-owners wishing to sail their boat and reduce costs considerably while benefiting from a concierge service for optimal peace of mind. Dream Fractional® Liberty allows you to sail your boat up to 56 days per year per share.

The Dream Fractional® Liberty is designed for sailors who want to:

  • Buy one or more shares of a top-of-the-range sailing boat

Dream Fractional® Business

In addition to the benefits of the Dream Fractional® Liberty program, Dream Fractional® Business offers you the opportunity to sail on equivalent boats of the Dream Yacht fleet, from over 45 bases worldwide.
