Fractional sailing with Pure Latitude boat share club

How the Pure Latitude boat share club works

Your membership fee buys a number of points. You 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 cost of taking a boat is shown in the chart. See here for definitions of boat categories, seasons and days of week.

Usage periods are a full 24 hours with a 1 hour handover buffer. Your booking begins at 20.00 the evening before and finishes at 19.00 on the final booked day. Bank holidays charged at weekend rates.

So, to take out a First 27.7 yacht on a weekday in March uses 12 points. To take out the X Yachts 37 on a Sunday in August uses 38 points.

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.

Booking System

Our on-line scheduling system allows you to check availability, track your usage and, in time, book boats. It’s easy to use and operates like any electronic diary so, if you can use an electronic diary, you can use this.

To ensure that all members have fair and equivalent access to boats we have a simple set of booking rules – please contact us for more information.

To ensure good availability of boats (i.e. the boat you want is available when you want it) we maintain low member to boat ratios.
