The plan

By most estimates, the average owner uses their boat 20–30 days a year, while crew, maintenance, dockage and insurance run 8–12% of its value annually, used or not.

Fractional ownership
The model fractional jets proved: a boat shared with a few other owners, without the ownership headaches.
Fully crewed
A captain and mates, employed full-time to run the boat and the fishing.
Handled for you
Upkeep, dockage, insurance and moving the boat between fisheries would all sit with the program.
Simple booking
Days would be booked in blocks of three to ten, with peak-season weeks chosen first in an annual draft.

Ways to join

  1. The glossy white flybridge, hardtop and tower of a sportfishing yacht against a blue sky

    Structure A: Fractional ownership, new boat

    Each new, tournament-rigged convertible would be owned in ten shares, each with a full-time crew and about 36 days a year aboard.

    I'm interested in structure A
  2. Looking up at the stacked tiers of a classic sportfishing boat’s tower under a bright blue sky

    Structure B: Fractional ownership, pre-owned boat

    The same fractional model, built around a carefully surveyed pre-owned convertible, so a boat could join the fleet sooner.

    I'm interested in structure B
  3. A striped marlin slashing through the surface after bait, bill to tail

    Structure C: Membership days, no ownership

    Members would book fishing days across the fleet without owning any part of a boat.

    I'm interested in structure C
Compare all three

Follow the fish.

Billfish move with water temperature, bait and current.

Most boats stay home and wait. These would go to them.

Fish where the bite is, not where the slip is.
