Owning your dream yacht is more realistic than you might think.

Turning dreams to reality for over 30 years through Yacht Share

For many people, owning a luxury yacht feels like a dream that’s well out of reach. That’s why for over 30 years, Sydney by Sail has been making that dream a reality for aspiring boat owners across Sydney through the use of our Yacht Share program.

Yacht Share allows customers to access all the best parts of owning your own boat, without all of the surrounding hassle. Turn up, sail away, and drop the yacht off when you’re done. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Find out more here for information on how Yacht Share works and how you can get started today.

Over the last 30 years we’ve provided thousands of hassle-free days of safe and fun sailing to our valued customers and Yacht Share owners. The Yacht Share program is so popular that more than half of our syndicate owners choose to buy into a new boat at the end of the agreed syndication period.

What’s more, we’re the only importer of luxury yachts in Australia that has its own internationally accredited sail training academy and charter company all in the one location, giving all Yacht Share owners access to expert knowledge and training. So whether you’ve been a sailor your whole life, or if you’re in the market for your first pair of sea legs, Sydney by Sail has got you covered.

Our Yacht Share program only uses the latest premium boat brands and with exclusive distribution rights awarded to Sydney by Sail for Elan Yachts.  Dufour Catamarans, ICE Yachts, Catalina Yachts and Italia Yachts. As such, we’re well equipped to keep our fleet in excellent condition with fast access to spare parts, warranty replacement, and technical support. In addition, our base is a full-service facility for yacht repairs and maintenance so we can quickly repair your boat in case of any incidents and get you back on the water. 

Located in Darling Harbour, our marina is easily accessible to you by road, light rail, and ferry, with discounted car parking close by for Yacht Share owners and charter customers.

Boat Share Made Simple
Join our Yacht Share community by purchasing a 10%, 20%, or 30% share in a luxury yacht. Each share provides you with a predetermined number of sailing days per year, ensuring you enjoy the water without the full burden of ownership. Our syndicate lasts for 3 years, after which we manage the sale of the yacht and distribute the proceeds among owners.
