How the Pure Latitude boat share club works

An annual membership fee buys Pure Latitude boat share club members a number of points. They use these points to ‘buy’ the use of the boats on a daily basis.

Three Quick Rules:

• Taking a bigger boat uses more points than a smaller boat
• Taking a boat in high season uses more points than low season
• Taking a boat at the weekend or bank holiday uses more points than weekdays

The boats in the Pure Latitiude fractional sailing fleet are split into five categories; e.g. the First 27.7 yacht is in category 2 whilst the X Yachts 37 is in category 5. The chart shows how many points are used for the different boat categories, seasons and days of week.

Book your boat in advance, turn up on the booked day, step on to the prepared boat, enjoy it in whichever way you choose. Return it, step off, leaving the ownership pain to us. The Pure Latitude boat share club takes care of all the operational headaches. Just leave the boat as you found it and log in and out giving details of fuel/water, faults, and comments/feedback.
