Fractional Yacht Ownership Arrives in Lower Mainland
- FRACTIONAL YACHT OWNERSHIP ARRIVES IN LOWER MAINLAND – Vancouver, B.C. Spring 2005 -
A new company on Granville Island is bringing the ever-popular fractional resort ownership concept to luxury yachts.
One 4 Yacht Fractions offers premium power and sailing yachts at a fraction of the cost for consumers. This is integrated with a “hands on” management program that provides investors with a high level of customer service and expertise in maintaining the vessel to exceptional standards.
Such a program fills a key need in recreational boat ownership today, says General Manager Nuno Miguel Alves, adding that many owners would like to enjoy the privileges of boat ownership without the burden of carrying the total cost.
Recent articles in Canadian Yachting Magazine (February, 2005) and Robb Report (January, 2005) speak to the popularity of this revolutionary concept. Owning one quarter of the yacht entitles owners up to 12 full weeks of usage per year. Many privately owned yachts see little more than 30 days usage per year, according to a national statistic.
One 4’s Strength in Numbers program allows various sales affiliates to work together and get complete fractionally owned yachts on the water faster than any one company could do alone. “With a portfolio of successfully developed and managed fractional ownership resorts across Western Canada, we bring many years of experience and successes to One 4 Yacht Fractions,” says President Andy Harris. “Our operational crew collectively has decades of direct experience in the yachting trade.”
Two fine motor yachts will be available for summer 2005 — A larger Westcoast 46 equipped with twin diesels and bow thruster for the adventuring couple or family looking for efficiency in luxurious space, and a Carver 38 for those seeking a more modern design in the under 40 size.
Two fantastic new sailboat designs are also available: from legendary C&C: the new 115, and a spacious family cruiser, the Bavaria 46. One 4 managed yachts will be based in Granville Island, Vancouver and in Tsehum Harbour, Sidney, B.C.
