Own a share in this boat for just

We are a members' boat club, or what some describe as a boating syndicate.

You pay a fixed annual or monthly management fee that covers the boat's standing costs, including insurance, mooring, maintenance, compliance, and administration. This ensures the boat is always ready and available for members to use.

There are no hourly usage or maintenance charges.

The boat is always provided in a fuelled condition. When you use the boat, you simply pay for the fuel consumed during your trip at the club's standard fuel rate per litre.

Members are not required to refuel the boat themselves. Fuel usage is calculated using onboard fuel flow monitoring.

If a member chooses to add fuel themselves, the litres added can be credited to their account (subject to a fuel receipt showing volume added) and automatically offset against fuel used. Credits are applied at the club's standard fuel rate, regardless of the price paid at the pump.

There are no time limits, no usage caps, and no penalties for lighter or heavier use, members simply enjoy the boat and cover the real cost of fuel when they use it.

There are 9 members per boat.

Membership for one boat can also give you the opportunity to access other boats in the Club. To do this, we just need to ensure three things:

A slightly increased maintenance fee for multi-boat access.

That there is a member in each additional boat who also subscribes to multi-boat membership.

Completion of any necessary standardisation training if the other boat(s) or location(s) differ from the one you initially joined.

This system ensures that availability remains fair to all members, as multi-access members can only use one boat at a time.

Management fees are paid by standing order.

You can choose either:

an annual membership payment, due on 1 April each year, or

a monthly membership payment, sent on the 1st of each month.

Fuel usage is billed retrospectively at the end of each month based on actual usage and is payable within 14 days.

Any additional charges (for example, fuel usage, credits applied, or other agreed incidentals) are itemised clearly on the monthly statement.

There are no hourly usage charges, and you are never billed simply for time spent on the boat.

We do not impose usage limits at all. Instead, our booking system uses a built-in fair usage algorithm, allowing you to book without prior notice (subject to availability), while still giving you the freedom to plan weeks or even months in advance.

Members may book as often as they wish. To ensure fairness for everyone, each member can hold up to three confirmed bookings at any one time, along with unlimited provisional bookings.

Confirmed bookings are visible to all members and prevent others from booking the vessel at the same time.

Provisional bookings are visible only to you and may be overridden by another member.

As confirmed bookings are completed or cancelled, your next provisional booking is automatically upgraded to confirmed.

This approach ensures fair access without restricting how often you can book, and it also allows for last-minute bookings with minimal impact on future availability.

If your circumstances change, you can leave the club by giving six months' notice. We will either buy your share back ourselves or help arrange a replacement owner.

In order to ensure vetting of new members, shares must be sold through the boat club and are not directly transferrable to a new owner.

Provided there are no outstanding amounts owed, your share payment will be returned in full at the same price you originally paid for it.

You can either:

continue enjoying access to the boat during your notice period, or

end your membership immediately and use your share payment to cover any notice period charges.

The only deductions we would ever make are for any outstanding amounts owed to the club.

None! In the UK, the minimum requirement to drive a powerboat is simply that you are 16 years or older. We have a minimum age requirement of 21 for insurance purposes.

Our whole aim is to share the joy of boating and make it accessible to anyone.

We welcome members of any experience level, provided you complete a brief standardisation course with us to familiarise yourself with our procedures, local restrictions, and bye-laws.

All members must hold RYA Power Boat Level 2. If you don't already have this qualification, it can be obtained through a three-day course for a few hundred pounds.

All we want to see is that you are "safe" and won't harm yourself, your passengers or the boat.

The amount of time required can vary widely between individuals and can also be linked to the complexity of the boat you are using.

We have friendly and helpful instructors who will perform the training and be sure that you are indeed "safe".

None at all! We're very transparent about how costs work. To join the club, you'll buy your share and this is fully re-purchased by us at the same price if ever you choose to leave. Your ongoing costs are straightforward:

your annual or monthly membership fee, and

the fuel used when you take the boat out, billed retrospectively at the club's standard fuel rate.

There are no hourly usage charges, no time-based fees, and no additional costs simply for spending time on the boat.

As long as the boat is left clean and tidy after each trip, the only other costs you may incur are personal ones, such as food, drink, or other items you choose to bring along.

If shore power is used while the boat is in the marina (where available), this may require the purchase of marina electric cards, which are charged directly by the marina.

We do not apply any additional charges for shore power usage.

All aspects of maintenance, insurance, compliance and administration are handled by our professional team. We maintain dedicated reserves for each vessel, meaning owners will never be asked to make additional cash contributions for unexpected expenses.
