I was just at the Southampton Boat Show and someone suggested I buy a share in a yacht.  It was a quarter share and you had it for a certain time annually. The company would take  care of the maintenance etc dry docking if necessary blah blah but you had the usage along with 3 other investors.  Would like to hear any experience?

I own a share of a villa in Florida. Works on the same lines. Owned it for years. Works excellently for us.
if you use it then it's a great idea if you don't then seems a waste of time
I am an amateur hence the not buying a whole yacht
DO IT I HAVE A SHARE AND I HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK
sorry to pour water on you so to speak lol but I had a share in a boat years back and 2 oof the other investors pulled out or something I can't remember but the company went under and me and the other bloke didn't get are money back
I would be very interested I don't think you're going to actually earn much money but you certainly would get good use if that's your bag so you'd have to weigh it up against what you would spend anyway chartering a yacht. We did the same with our villa and after your break even in about year 5 your quids in
yes that is exactily how I was looking at it more as a usage and perhaps long term investment but yes I get that I need to use it. thanks
