PLM Company Overview

The concept for PLM came out of requirement that many boat owners find they don't have the time to sail as they had expected. Some boat owners find they have to sell their boat as the only solution...

This became a concept we call 'Yacht-Divorce'. We found that many people go through a cycle of purchasing and then selling their yacht.

There are a number of factors that cause this!!

  • Not cost effective for amount of use
    "Season too short for use"
    "Overall cost of ownership"
    "Loan payments"
    "Mooring charges"
    "Haulout charges/winterize"
    "Storage costs"
    "Insurance costs"
    "Repairs & maintenance"

  • Too busy, not enough time to enjoy... No matter your age group or circumstance may have:
    "mornings, or evenings or weekends only"
    "only certain week days "
    "only certain hours"
    "Hard to balance 'Work & Play' due to:"
    "Business travel, courses"
    "Kids activities"
    "Other hobby functions to attend"
    "Have other family, personal activities to enjoy as well."
    "Don't want to just commit to one activity:"
    "Like variety"
    "Have lots of activities"

  • Too much maintenance too little time
    "Preparation for launch"
    "Anti-fouling"
    "Launch Day"
    "Continuous regular cleaning"
    "Weekly pump out"
    "Preparation for haulout"
    "Haulout Day"
    "Preparation for winter storage"
    "Winter storage "
    "Repairs & maintenance to deck & hull"
    "Engine maintenance, winterize"
    "Seasonal mast, lines & sail preparation "
    "Time off work, non productive holiday time"

For many... Yacht-Share can solve these problems...
