Share the Yacht, Live the Dream
Discover Shared Yacht Ownership
Bali 4.4 Whitsundays
Two major players in sailing have joined forces, Dream Yacht Charter the world’s leading yacht charter company and Yacht Share Mariner, belonging to the Mariner Boating Holiday Group which has been operating in the international sailing holiday space for more than 30 years.
In this joint venture, Yacht Share Mariner is offering shares in a fleet of luxury yachts, with the first of the fleet a Bali 4.4, recognizable at first glance thanks to the new design of her hulls with fine bows and her new very elegant lines designed by Xavier Fäy and Samer Lasta and benefitting from all the innovations pioneered by Catana Group which are the DNA of the BALI Catamaran Range.
The Yacht Share offer includes all servicing and maintenance, and will be based at our Dream Yacht Charter base in the Whitsundays (Queensland Yacht Charters) located in Coral Sea Marina, Airlie Beach, in what is a ‘walk-on, walk-off’ service.
Walk on, walk off:
- You book your time online, pack your bags, travel to the base, untie the ropes and set off on your journey.
- We offer advice for your itinerary and are available with help during your voyage should you need it.
- We do the rest.
- No hassles and complete freedom.
THE PATHWAY TO YOUR SAFE PASSAGE ON YOUR OWN YACHT IN PARADISE
There has been strong interest in shares with 4 shares already sold.
“Our mission is your enjoyment and with your experience on the water comes confidence and the safety of your family and friends who you will most certainly invite to share your experience on this magnificent yacht if you purchase a share”.
A mandatory 2-day induction course on the Bali will be available once she comes into service in July next year.
A qualified skipper/instructor will be on board for the two days to familiarize you with all aspects of the safe operation of the Bali 4.4 and its systems and culminating in YSM endorsement of your competence in the handling of the vessel. There will be a detailed curriculum for this course to cover all aspects of managing the yacht. You may choose to add these two days to your first cruise on board as skipper.
The cost of this course is included in the price of a share in the Bali 4.4 and the two days on the water will not be part of your 6 week entitlement. You can include the overnight or take two separate days out of the Coral Sea marina if you prefer.
Please contact us for pricing.
The Yacht Share offer will consist of eight shares in each yacht, which entitles owners to six weeks of unrestricted usage each year. Under this system, capital costs and running expenses are shared across all owners, with Dream Yacht doing all the before and after-sailing care so that owners can walk straight on and off and maximise their sailing time.
Included in this new venture will be the opportunity to purchase shares in the first Bali 4.4.
Dream Yacht Sales is the Australian distributor of this exciting new Bali Catamaran range from Catana in France.
Syndicated yacht ownership with Dream Yacht Charter and Yacht Share Mariner is the stress-free passport to set off on your voyage of discovery – all you need to do is place your bags on board and cast off. We manage the rest!
