Testimonials
Our Owners are available to share their ownership experiences with you – ask us to provide a list of current & past Owners you may contact.
We were a bit skeptical about going into a managed program, but, having owned a boat outright for many years, we had to accept that work and family schedule did not align with independent ownership. Much as we enjoy the maintenance of a boat, we just did not have the time to do it! This is why it really works for us; our yacht, which is moored in Granville, has been exceptionally well managed and maintained, allowing us to spend our limited time sailing.
- Andrew, Owner
Thank-you! We appreciate all your patient hard work. Thanks for making our sailing dream come true!
- Bob & Nancy, Owners
Nuno: Thanks very much. We appreciate your assistance in getting things organized.
- Dick, Owner
While I am sincerely thrilled with the quality of the boat – I am equally thrilled and impressed by the level of service and professionalism that has been continually presented by Nuno Miguel Alves, of One 4 Yacht. From the outset of the process, Nuno has acted with utmost integrity and has earned all of the owner’s confidence and respect in dealing with the business side of the investment. Obviously an investment of this nature requires serious consideration and investigation because of the perceived complexity of the ownership. However, now having completed the process and enjoying my time on my yacht, I can state with utmost sincerity and conviction that I would not hesitate to fully endorse Nuno and One 4 Yacht Fractions. Please feel free to contact me at your leisure should you require any further clarification as I am only too happy to oblige.

Nuno – The canvas work looks terrific! Many thanks for looking after the boat. Very good.
- Tim C., Owner
Thanks for the update and thanks for handling the whole issue as well as you did. Having you taking care of it all is another invaluable benefit from the fractional ownership program you guys manage.
- Pascal, Owner
Awesome Nancy. Thank you!!!! Very thorough.
- Bruce, Owner
Thanks for the update. No I didn’t know about the storm. Glad you are on the job.
- Rob, Owner
Just arrived about 30 minutes ago. We ran into a massive school of Porpoises about 500 metres NW of Entrance Island. We have never seen so many in one spot. We had them jumping our bow wake! That was worth the trip in itself!
- Craig, Owner
Thanks Nancy, very useful information. You’re right, we can’t wait to get back out there.
- Dean, Owner
Thought I would send you the website of One4Yacht – as it appears, they presently have a ¼ share available in a Bavaria 42 foot. If you wish to strike up a conversation with their guy, call Nuno (nice guy)… We have been owners since last Christmas and have been very pleased.
-Mike & Kim, Owners
As a future reference, please feel free to provide my name to potential clients. I will always be glad to provide glowing remarks.

James, I have a feeling you should check this out. There is a company in Vancouver that has a 1/4 boat share business. Basically you buy 1/4 share of a new boat and have access to the boat based on the other 3 owners. The vessel is professionally maintained and kept in impeccable shape in Vancouver. All you do is front up the money and arrive in your cab and head out for the Gulf Islands. I have a buddy Bob who was with me on an Advanced course a few years ago to Ucluelet. He bought a 1/4 share of a Bavaria 42 ( 44 I’m not sure) and has been totally satisfied with the arrangement. He lives in North Vancouver and gets all the sailing he can handle in a year. I’m sure he would be happy to answer any questions you may have on the procedures and I will be fine about connecting you guys if you wish to speak with him. I personally know Nuno and he is a man of integrity who runs a successful and reputable business. I will take the liberty of copying him in on this note and putting you guys together. Summer is coming to the West Coast so eat your heart out!
-Jim, Advanced Sailing Instructor
We want you to know that the experience with Nuno and Piers has been first class, and all the meetings with them, and yourselves, have been most enjoyable.
