What is Yacht Co-ownership?

Yacht co-ownership is a shared ownership model where several owners (between 3 and 6) jointly own the same boat. Each co-owner has a share of ownership and enjoys 4 to 12 weeks on board per year, depending on their share.

Unlike chartering, you own the boat. Unlike outright ownership, you don’t bear the entire cost of operation and maintenance alone: ​​these are divided proportionally to your ownership percentage.

It’s a fractional ownership arrangement that combines the advantages of ownership with the flexibility and savings of sharing.

Example: With a 25% share (1/4 of the yacht), you enjoy 13 weeks per year and pay 25% of the maintenance, insurance, and fuel costs.

How does the Odyssée Premium model work?

Ownership Structure

Each yacht is divided into equal shares among the co-owners. Your share determines:

  • Your right of use: number of weeks per year
  • Your financial contribution: percentage of operating costs

Fair Week Allocation

We guarantee absolute fairness in week selection through an annual rotation system:

  1. Year 1: Each owner takes turns choosing a week (owner 1, then 2, then 3, etc.)
  2. Year 2: The order is reversed (the owner who chose last chooses first)
  3. Possible Exchanges: Once the weeks are allocated, owners can exchange weeks to optimize their calendar

Cost Allocation

Operating costs include:

  • Maintenance and upkeep
  • Insurance
  • Fuel and consumables
  • Crew and management

Each owner pays only their share, with complete transparency through detailed financial reports.

The advantages of yacht co-ownership

Drastic Cost Reduction

Exclusive ownership of a yacht represents a considerable investment. With co-ownership, you divide the costs among the number of owners.

Comparison Example:

Item Exclusive Ownership Co-ownership (1/4)
Annual maintenance cost 100 000 € 25 000 €
Insurance 8 000 € 2 000 €
Fuel 15 000 € 3 750 €
Total 123 000 € 30 750 €

Simplified Management

You don’t have to manage upkeep, maintenance, or crew. Our team takes care of everything:

  • Yacht preparation before each arrival
  • Deep cleaning
  • Scheduled maintenance and repairs
  • Documentation and certifications

Premium Maintenance

The maintenance team prepares the yacht for each owner, placing their personal belongings exactly as they were left. You return to your boat in immaculate condition, like a 5-star hotel.

Maximum flexibility

  • Enjoy your yacht without the hassles of day-to-day management
  • Exchange your weeks with other owners
  • Access an international exchange system: swap your week on your yacht for a week on one of our yachts worldwide

Sense of ownership

Unlike renting, it’s your boat. You can personalize it, use it as you see fit, and pass it on to your heirs.

Operational management and transparency

Roles and Responsibilities

The Yacht Manager is responsible for the detailed day-to-day management of the yacht:

  • Operational and maintenance matters
  • Onboard service and comfort
  • Communication with owners
  • Complete documentation

The Finance Manager oversees transactions and transparency:

  • Detailed audit of all costs
  • Communication of maintenance fees to each owner
  • Real-time financial reporting

Tracking and Transparency Tools

We provide intuitive tools to track your yacht:

  • Usage Calendar: A clear overview of who is on board and when, ideal for both crew and owners.
  • Real-Time Financial Reports: A complete breakdown of all costs related to your yacht, with total transparency.
  • Maintenance Log: A precise history of all scheduled, current, and future maintenance.
  • Unplanned Repair Log: Supporting photos so you understand exactly what was done while you were away.
  • Complete Documentation: Access to all certifications, title deeds, and co-ownership agreements.
  • Media Gallery: A stunning gallery of images and videos to showcase your yacht to your guests before their arrival.

Week selection process

Fair and transparent system

Our team strives to assemble a representative sample of owners with varying preferences:

  • Some favor school holidays (July-August)
  • Others, often retirees, prefer to avoid them

As a result, each week offers a relatively similar level of appeal. July and August are slightly more popular in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, but the annual rotation ensures that everyone benefits equally.

Flexibility with exchanges

Once weeks are allocated, owners can exchange them to:

  • Have two consecutive weeks
  • Optimize their personal calendar
  • Adapt to their work commitments

Advantages of the Off-Season

Many owners believe that only summer is worthwhile. This is a mistake.

The off-season (4 to 5 months) remains enjoyable in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean:

  • Regular sunny days
  • Weather conditions often better than in France
  • Fewer crossings and less sailing
  • Lively ports with an authentic atmosphere
  • Your yacht becomes a perfectly located floating hotel

Some owners particularly appreciate their yacht off-season, away from the tourist crowds.
