The Yacht Share Network – About Us

We are proud to be recognized as the global leader in yacht co-ownership, specializing in shared yacht ownership worldwide. Our dedication to excellence and innovation has earned us the prestigious Most Innovative Yacht Ownership Scheme award at the UK Enterprise Awards 2023.

It’s all that we do, we don’t try to be a jack of all marine trades, but instead stay focused on what we truly believe to be the best way to own and operate a yacht in our modern cost and resource-efficiency-driven society. We recognise that motor yachting is not the most environmentally friendly of passions, but believe that through shared ownership we can help to substantially reduce yachting’s impact on our once bountiful seas and beautiful planet.

We are told by our many hundreds of co-owners that we offer unrivaled fractional yacht expertise, genuine market knowledge with true syndication excellence and overall professionalism; characteristics that are all echoed in our company’s core values. We take our Corporate Social Responsibly very seriously, always making sure that we give generously in anything and everything we do, in the belief that good karma begets good karma.

The company’s ever-growing team of dedicated specialists, be they sales, operational or service orientated, all share a genuine passion for an enjoyable nautical life and collectively possess a range of experience and knowledge far beyond anyone else in this specialised field.

This genuine and unrivaled experience in all the different yacht co-ownership facets ensures that the Yacht Share Network provides the most comprehensive advice and remains the best of breed in all aspects of yacht co-ownership. We truly strive to continually offer our repeat customers ongoing tailored advice and support, whatever their requirements.

At the Yacht Share Network, our core aim is to build relationships with our clients that last for the duration of their yachting lifetime. We aim to deliver a complete service from buying your first share in a syndicate, right through to eventually selling the last share in the last syndicate after many many happy years of co-ownership yachting.

For those that own a yacht outright, there is an old adage that says “the buying and selling days are the two happiest days of a yacht owner’s life!” At the Yacht Share Network, our raison d’être is to continually ensure that every single day in-between is actually much more pleasurable.

Our many happy co-owners worldwide frequently tell us they would never own a yacht outright again having better enjoyed co-ownership. This truly endorses our belief that all things considered, co-ownership is the best way forward, providing the most pleasurable and financially savvy way to own a yacht.

Yacht Fractional Ownership

Acquiring a yacht is one of the most special investments one can make. Yachts unlock dreams made of holidays in exclusive creeks worldwide, distant from the hustle and bustle of crowded resorts and close to secluded and exclusive beaches and rivieras. Yachts are also a tool to signify one’s social position. Notwithstanding this, like any other investment, it requires careful planning to minimise inefficiencies and consequently reduce costs. Contrary to other assets, such as immovables, whose value increases with time, yachts tend to depreciate quickly and are subject to high maintenance costs. For this reason, yacht owners aim to mitigate this financial burden. To mitigate such risks and offset, even partially, the investment made, owners tend to opt for mixed-use of the yacht by chartering her to third parties. Although this is a possible solution, there are also some negative aspects connected with yacht chartering:

• Impossibility of using her during peak season
• Use of yacht by third parties who might not treat her as their own to the detriment of her value
• Yachts would generally need to be stationed in the same part of the world to minimise relocation costs
• Engagement of third-party advisors and fiscal representatives to assist with VAT and other related tax compliance matters
• Increase in insurance costs related to the commercial use of yachts
• Increase maintenance and refit costs to ensure the yacht could be registered as commercial and be compliant with the commercial yacht code

Chartering, however, is not the only option to recover costs related to acquiring the yacht. In fact, over the last few years, fractional ownership has proven to be a valid alternative to chartering.

How does fractional ownership work?

Yacht fractional owners own a share or portion of a yacht jointly with other persons who can use the same depending on the terms and conditions of the ownership agreement between all parties. Contrary to a time-sharing arrangement, which grants a right of use only for a limited period, fractional ownership gives a title of ownership (although in common with other persons) and a return of price in case of sale to third parties.  Fractional owners could either acquire a share in the yacht directly or indirectly through the setting up, together with other persons, of a company that will be the yacht’s registered owner. The latter option could provide direct and indirect tax efficiencies if adequately structured. Fractional ownership allows owners to use the yacht for a maximum period, which generally varies between 3 and 6 weeks. Fractional owners are also entitled to charter or sub-lease the yacht to third parties during the period assigned to them or sell their share should they not be interested in the continued enjoyment of the asset. Maltese law also allows the possibility of setting up shipping cell companies where the patrimony of each cell is separate and distinct from other cells, thus giving the shareholder an additional layer of protection and flexibility in structuring their ownership as the fractional right would be assigned to the cell.

Who should opt for fractional ownership?

People who know from the outset they will only be using the yacht for a few weeks a year and want to avoid dealing with third-party operators such brokers, marina agents, seafarers, and tax advisors would do well to consider opting for a  fractional ownership arrangement. These functions would be delegated to a yacht manager by paying a yacht management fee. Such a manager would be in charge of dealing with third parties concerning all of the above matters.

Fractional ownership is a formal arrangement meant to regulate the fractional use of yachts amongst more people by giving certainty on the rules to be adopted and avoided or at least reducing conflicts with service providers and between the fractional owners.

How is the amount of time used decided?

This depends on and is usually proportionate to, the investment made in the yacht.

What are the benefits of fractional ownership?

• Financial: one significantly saves the total purchase price by acquiring a portion of the yacht.
• Saving Time: time spent coordinating the yacht’s management, maintenance, crew employment-related matters, berthing, insurance, and fiscal issues, amongst others.
• It is easier to dispose of the interest in the asset.
• Possibility to change yachts should the fractional owner not be interested in that model. Some fractional ownership organisations even maintain fleets based in different geographical locations.

What are the disadvantages of fractional ownership?

• Sharing the yacht with other people, the impossibility to personalise the yacht and choose particular crew members.
• Use of the yacht is possible during specific periods only and restricted to particular geographical locations. Suppose the yacht is always based in the Mediterranean. In that case, a user cannot decide unilaterally to move her to the Caribbean to return to the Med region again unless most owners (based on a contract of use) choose otherwise.
• The yacht might be unavailable during certain parts of the year if already booked by other fractional owners or under maintenance.

What are the VAT implications, if any, for fractional ownership?

Regarding the EU VAT legislation, supplies of goods or of services made by a taxable person acting as such in return for consideration within the territory of a Member State are subject to VAT unless specifically exempted. As such, transactions that cumulatively meet these conditions are said to fall within the scope of EU VAT, whilst transactions that fail to meet any of the requirements are classified as falling outside the scope of EU VAT, which is to be disregarded for VAT purposes. A transaction deemed to fall within the scope of VAT has then to be methodically analysed to determine its correct VAT treatment, most significant, where it is to be taxed, whether an exemption applies and if not, who would be the person liable to pay the VAT to the tax authority. It is in the background of these concepts, that the numerous transactions contained in fractional ownership, from ownership to management, need to be assessed to establish the appropriate VAT treatment and resulting implications.

As a point of departure, ownership, per se, even if partial and undivided, does not render the owner a taxable person for VAT purposes unless he carries out an economic activity. In the fractional ownership set-up, the owners would not be carrying out an economic activity since each would be using the asset (the yacht) privately. Selling a fractional share would likewise fall outside the scope of EU VAT since the seller (the fractional owner) is not a taxable person for VAT purposes in that he is not in the business of selling or trading in shares in yacht ownership, that is, not carrying out an economic activity. The yacht’s purchase, management fees, operational and maintenance services necessary for the functionality and upkeep of the yacht all appear to be supplies of services subject to VAT. As a rule, the VAT incurred by the management company will be deductible to the extent that it is attributable to its taxable supplies, namely the management fees and recharges claimed from the owners in proportion to their fractional share. The owners, however, have no right of deduction, and the VAT incurred should constitute an irrecoverable cost. Given that in the fractional ownership model, expenses are shared; the VAT cost would thus be less burdensome when compared to full ownership of a yacht.

How do you understand if fractional ownership is the right solution for you?

Fractional owners need to understand if they want the yacht exclusively for themselves or not and whether they are willing to share it with strangers and be able to use it only for specific parts of the year.

On the other hand, all those aspects concerning her maintenance would be delegated to third parties, thus rendering matters easier for the end user. Lastly, fractional ownership would permit the benefit of a yacht at a reduced price, and if one uses a yacht for a few weeks a year, savings would be much higher than the ones made under a charter option.
