Everything you need to know about syndicating assets, allocations, and ownership.
Every boat share question answered: what a share costs, how days are allocated, licences, maintenance, swaps, selling your share and how BSA syndicates work.
You buy a percentage of a specific vessel — real, registered equity — and share the running costs with 4-8 co-owners. Days on the water are allocated fairly every 4 months from your ranked preferences, and BSA manages everything in between: berthing, maintenance, cleaning and turnovers. You just turn up and go boating.
It depends on the vessel and the share size — a 10% or 12.5% share of a premium yacht costs a fraction of buying the boat outright, with monthly running costs split across the syndicate. Request the free BSA info pack for current pricing on every boat in the fleet.
If you'd realistically use a boat 20-40 days a year, yes — most private boats sit unused over 90% of the time while their owners pay full berthing, insurance and maintenance. A share gives you the same days on the water for a fraction of the capital and none of the admin.
A boat club sells access to a rental fleet — you pay fees forever and own nothing. A BSA boat share is equity in one specific vessel: it's your boat, kept to owner standards, and your share is an asset you can sell when you're done.
Yes — NSW requires a boat driver licence to operate a powered vessel at 10 knots or more. Skippered days can be arranged if you're not licensed yet or would rather host than helm.
Yes. Exits are managed by BSA — your share is sold or transferred to an incoming owner and every record is updated on the platform, so you're never locked in.
Every 4 months, our algorithm distributes available days among all owners based on their ranked preferences. It ensures that over multiple cycles, everyone gets an equitable mix of prime dates and off-peak periods. The algorithm balances individual preferences with collective fairness.
If you miss the preference deadline, the system will use your historical preferences or distribute days evenly without priority weighting. We send multiple reminders before each cycle closes to ensure you don't miss out.
Admins can preview allocations before publishing and make manual adjustments if needed. Once published, changes require swap requests or admin overrides with full audit logging.
Each booking can be 1-5 consecutive days. This ensures fair access for all owners while allowing meaningful usage periods.
You can request to swap specific days with another owner or post an open swap request. The other owner can accept or decline. Admins can also mediate or approve swaps if needed.
By default, you can only book from your allocated pool. However, admins can approve special bookings outside allocations if circumstances require.
33 maintenance days per year (roughly one day per 11 days) ensures your asset stays in premium condition. These days are blocked from owner bookings and managed by the asset manager.
The asset manager or admin schedules maintenance blocks. If not pre-scheduled, the system auto-blocks 33 evenly distributed days as placeholders that can be adjusted.
Yes, owners can submit maintenance request tickets through the platform. The admin will review and schedule appropriate maintenance.
Each syndicate supports 4-8 co-owners. This range ensures enough participants to share costs while maintaining reasonable access for everyone.
Yes, ownership shares can be configured per syndicate. However, day allocations are distributed based on the defined rules, which may or may not correlate directly with ownership percentage.
Owner transitions are managed by the admin. The exiting owner's share can be sold or transferred, with the platform updating all records accordingly.
