About The Fractional Program

Do you dream of owning your own yacht? Now is the perfect time to make the dream of boat ownership a reality.
Fractional, Timeshare and Membership Clubs have been in existence for many years offering everything from private jets to Real Estate property and even Yachts, with the opportunity to create a shared environment at a fraction of the price of owning the entire asset that you would only be using on a temporary basis anyway. There are a growing number of groups and individuals who see the merits of managed assets given partial ownership and member rights especially where an owner has limited time and funds to dedicate to any one particular asset, whether for commercial or recreational purposes.

The private jet programs have continued to meet with great success as commercial flight costs continue to rise, routes continue to be cut and security at commercial airports doubles the length of time to get from A to B. However the real success of these programs is as much to do with the convenience without the full ownership costs, as it is a function of the Jet Management Company having the ability to make use of the aircraft for commercial use when not being used by her owners and thereby defraying the costs of owning it. The Real Estate Time Share Market also continues to flourish and for many of the same reasons, especially when part of a rental pool.

The common thread running through all of the success stories is the Management Company who actually operate and manage the asset for the owners. If the Management Company is able to take care of all of the day-to -day operations of the asset AND provide revenue from that asset when it is not being used by its owners, then a successful program is almost inevitable.

Current yacht-share programs have flaws in their basic concept which has impacted their success. The main flaw is that there are too many different entities involved in the entire process. When you consider that there is the company that sells the boat, the company that manages it, the company that books usage on it for members, as well as and retail sales and the company that resells it at the end of the program, then it is destined to bring a lot of finger-pointing when something does not go quite as planned.

With all of that in mind, The Catamaran Company has decided to offer one simple program with lots of choices up front, but with only One Company to operate the entire program.
When you buy a Catamaran through our easy Fractional Program, the costs for all marina fees, all insurance premiums, all yacht maintenance, professionally management of your yacht and even your monthly mortgage can become extremely affordable.
