How to Get a New Boat Without Paying For All of the Associated Costs

We live in a sharing economy

Zip cars, Uber, and AirBnB are prime examples and certainly one day you will not own a car. Rather, a shared self-driving car will just show up at your house on an App request. The Internet has been wholly the secret to success and complete integrated adoption of this sharing economy. Booking, scheduling, communications, and equitable software rules have all played their part.

Of all personal assets, sharing a boat makes the MOST sense since the vast majority of boats sit idle in their slips 90% of the time. Sharing a boat allows you to get a bigger, nicer, newer boat than you would normally afford by yourself. And buying a boat into a sharing program can have significant tax advantages. While there are already several professional boat sharing companies, those companies are profit making companies designed to keep money out of your pocket. Now with myBoat™ sharing software, you are able to design a customized sharing system without the big company overhead.

myBoat™ Software

The myBoat sharing software allows any group to share a boat equitably but with each person feeling as though they have almost full access to time on the boat. It is simply brilliant! You can make reservations online, request a swap, go on a wait list, you can even take more than your allocation through a 48 hour grab and go booking feature.

myBoat™ Sharing

Now, you can share a boat with NauticEd’s myBoat program. There are several options with self-management using NauticEd’s myBoat sharing software:

  1. Share your own boat out to others and make money towards the purchase and operating cost while you are not using her
  2. Join someone else's shared boat and pay a fraction of the cost
  3. Buy a used boat then see (1) above
  4. Call several buddies and share the purchase price and operating expenses of the boat.

At NauticEd, students constantly ask us how they can gain experience on a boat. We still think one of the best ways is to join your local yacht club and we've written several blogs on that topic. But at the same time, it makes all the sense in the world to share a boat. And so we've created myBoat™ - an internet based software system to equitably share and maximize time usage on a boat. And we've tied it back into NauticEd education so that you know all your boat partners are properly trained.
