How often have you stood on a waterfront admiring the boats that ripple gently on the water’s surface? Or strolled around a marina checking out yachts that you can only dream of owning? Were you ever a guest aboard a houseboat? A ski boat? Or maybe it was a bass boat or salt water fishing boat. What were your thoughts? Chances are, you were imagining how it would feel to take the helm and embark on a vacation or fishing trip, leaving your worries behind as you headed for a great adventure.

Those of you who share a love for boating and being near the water also have in common the dream of one day owning the perfect boat. That’s a fair statement, isn’t it? Ideally, it would be suited to your interests and outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment. Right again, wouldn’t you say? It’s a lovely fantasy, but let’s face it: realizing your dream would probably sink your recreational budget - unless you and other boatlovers share ownership.

That’s right, you can own the boat of your dreams for a fraction of the cost of single ownership. You might even get it for free. And it’s all perfectly legal.

In the book, "Shared Ownership Boating", we will tell you how to acquire a boat through shared ownership, or timeshare. By the time we have walked you through everything from boat selection to requisite documents and formats, you will be on your way to an affordable and carefree adventure on the water. Some of you own the boat of your dreams already, but spend less time on the water than you had expected, making the cost of ownership impractical.
