Overview

  • 10 shares per boat (Buccaneer 685) & 8 shares per boat (Rayglass 2800)
  • An annual service charge covers all the costs, including boat replacement.
  • Pay-as-you-go for fuel.  Fuel is the only additional cost on the water , except bait!
  • All maintenance & ownership responsibilities are organised for you
  • Use of the boats is controlled by a points system to provide fair use to all participants
  • Boats are replaced in a planned way to keep the boat fleet modern
  • You can sell your share at any time to an approved willing buyer
