Boat Ownership with Harbor Sailboats
Representing Jeanneau Sailboats
As an owner, you want lower costs and fewer responsibilities while maximizing time on the water. By purchasing a new Jeanneau and entering into Charter Placement with Harbor Sailboats, your yacht is professionally managed and maintained to the highest standards. When not in use, it generates revenue to offset expenses like slip rent, insurance, maintenance, and loan payments.
Our experienced team handles everything bow to stern: slip payments, financing coordination, insurance, routine maintenance, upgrades, bottom cleaning, interior cleaning, fueling, pre- and post-charter inspections, marketing, payment collection, and overall management. You save countless hours and enjoy hassle-free ownership.
How It Works
Revenue is split 50/50 between you (the owner) and Harbor Sailboats.
You remain responsible for operating costs (slip, insurance, maintenance, loan payments), but your share of the revenue typically covers a significant portion, often reducing annual ownership costs by more than 50%.
Revenue comes from club member rentals and sailing classes. As a members-only facility, Harbor Sailboats is one of California’s most respected sailing clubs—charterers must complete our professional lessons program or demonstrate superior boat-handling skills before approval. This ensures a safe, reliable, and predictable revenue.
You retain flexible and unlimited usage: sail your boat as often as you like with no restrictions.
If you’re ready to own a new boat for a fraction of the traditional cost, while keeping it impeccably maintained and earning revenue, Charter Placement with Harbor Sailboats is the ideal solution.
