Marina del Rey · Long Beach · Redondo Beach
Own a quarter of a boat in Los Angeles, for a fraction of the cost and hassle.
This is fractional boat ownership: four partners share one boat. Your name goes on the DMV title, you get 7 days every month that are yours alone, and shares start at $4,000. No boating experience needed.
Shares are limited. When a boat sells out, it goes to a waitlist.
- 20 years of boat partnerships
- Name on the DMV title
- Resell any time, with our help
- Free training included
Real ownership, split four ways
We've been refining this model for 20 years. This is ownership, not a club membership. Here's the short version.
1. Buy a 1/4 share
Your name goes on the DMV title, backed by a formal partnership agreement.
2. Pay 1/4 of the costs
Monthly dues cover the slip, bottom cleaning and insurance. A separate account covers repairs, so no surprise bills.
3. Get 7 days a month
Guaranteed and exclusively yours. Book them yourself through the online calendar.
4. Sell when you want
We keep an interest list of buyers and will help you resell your share.
New to boating? No problem. Training, buddy trips and professional management are included until you and your partners are ready to run things yourselves. (You do need to pass the on-water safety test before captaining on your own.)
Why not just join a boat club?

Straight answers
What is fractional boat ownership?
Four partners buy one boat together and each owns a 1/4 share, with their name on the DMV title and a formal partnership agreement. It's real ownership with a fraction of the cost, and you can sell your share when you want out.
How is this different from a boat club?
In a boat club like Carefree or SailTime you pay for access and own nothing. Here you own 1/4 of the boat, get 7 guaranteed days a month, and can resell your share any time.
What does it really cost?
The buy-in for your 1/4 share (from $4,000), plus monthly dues covering your quarter of the slip fee, bottom cleaning and insurance. A separate account covers repairs and maintenance. Financing is available on some boats.
Do I need to know how to run a boat?
Nope. Free training, buddy trips and professional management are included. You just need to pass the on-water safety test before captaining on your own.
What if one of the other partners is a pain?
Fair question. Shares are in a formal partnership agreement, scheduling is on a shared online calendar, and each partner is guaranteed 7 days a month, so there's very little to argue about.
What if I want out?
Sell your share any time. We keep an interest list of waiting buyers and will help you resell. Shares hold their value better and are far easier to sell than a boat owned by one person.
Where are the boats?
Marina del Rey, Long Beach and Redondo Beach. Slip fees often include marina pools, showers, laundry, gym and BBQ areas.
