More Rayglass 3500s
Ownaship recently introduced a new Rayglass 3500 to its fleet.
This Kiwi-built model has proven very popular with customers
and demand is exceeding supply.
“Our customers are really enjoying this boat, with it’s modern,
practical layout. It’s perfect for Kiwi-style boating,” says Barker.
Wayne Foster, a shareholder in Mawhti, the first Rayglass 3500
in the fleet, agrees:
“It’s perfect for the Kiwi lifestyle. Fast and comfortable, it’s easy
to manage, great for fishing or entertaining and easy to keep
clean. Oh, and it looks great too.”
The good news is there are more Rayglass 3500s about to join
Ownaship: boat number two is arriving just before Christmas
while another one launches in February.Boating made easy
Founded in 2007, Ownaship provides a convenient and
affordable entry to boating by dividing boat ownership between
multiple shareholders. Starting from 10 percent shares right
through to thirds, halves, and fully-managed luxury vessels.
Owners are allocated a certain number of days per year
based on their share size, plus unlimited standby days.
The aim is to provide a complete range of boating solutions,
from the serious boatie to the complete novice.
Ownaship currently manages a fleet of five-star managed
vessels including Rayglass 2500s, 2800s and 4000s, the newly-
released Rayglass 3500s and a Bavaria 42 yacht. The company
is adding a luxurious Maritimo M51 and a Lucia 40 sailing
catamaran for 2018, plus four more Rayglass 3500s.Share the boat, not the burden
Ownaship takes care of all the nitty-gritty of boat owning,
including marina/drystack berthage, service and maintenance,
repairs, and cleaning. Boats are pre-checked prior to every
departure and equipped with fresh linen, beach towels,
crockery and cutlery.
Need a skipper for passage-making, or for when you want toentertain onboard? Ownaship can supply one.
Feel a bit intimidated parking the boat? Valet parking is
available.
If you are new to boating, Ownaship can help you with
every aspect of seafaring, including hands-on boat handling
training, navigation and electronics. Someone at Ownaship is
available to help 24 hours a day.
To go boating all an owner has to do is make an online
booking and arrive. He then turns up at the end of the day
or week, simply ties up and steps off. It’s walk-on-walk-off
boating.Both new boats are split into six shares, meaning each shareholder
is entitled to 57 days per annum, as well as unlimited standby days.
Also included is Ownaship’s five-star management, walk-on-walk-off
service, plus a range of optional services such as provisioning and
catering, skippering, boat relocation, and helicopter time.
For Ownaship, it’s all about convenience, says Barker. “We want
to help our owners make the most of their time and their boats.
Relocations and helicopter hours are a big part of this.Owners should
be able to finish work on Friday and be at the Barrier with their family or
friends an hour after that.”
For some added excitement, shareholders might use the helicopter
for a heli-fish or a bit of a tiki tour on the way out. Closer to home, there’s
always the option to head down to the boat and simply put your feet up,
perhaps spending an evening enjoying the atmosphere of the marina over
a few drinks.
“Ownaship is all about lowering the barriers to boating,” says Barker.
“We want to make it easy for people to have the kind of boat, and the
boating experience they want, without any of the hassle.
“To begin your new adventure, contact Ownaship now.”You do the boating,
we’ll take care of the rest.
The Lucia’s spacious interior makes for comfortable cruising. The Maritimo offers large, luxurious cabins.For more information visit http://www.ownaship.co.nz or call 0800 696 7447
