So more like a club? Timeshare? Fractional ownership?

Curious about the vessel’s ownership, registration, and insurance since it’s “not a business”. Looks like you might be based in South Africa? Not sure about SA, but many governments have a dim view on skirting charter operation regulations, especially when passengers are involved.

Inquiring minds want to know 🙂,

Lance
 
If I understand correctly, The Ultimate Dive Adventure is simply a poorly worded copy paste from an unlinked website. I assume the adventure is finding the unlinked information somewhere on the internet? :)
 
Good day, Lance,
Thank you for your inquiry,

Yes, however, I prefer the term Co-Ownership for this very reason since this is a non-commercial.
Please find attached pdf doc's explaining the private ownership available to six couples, preferably a Husband and Wife team.

Even though I am from South Africa, the yacht will not be registered in South Africa at all. Neither will the yacht be operated in South African waters, but be operated internationally between the very best diving sites, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Alaska, Micronesia, Indonesia, etc. Only on a time schedule of co-owners and the choice of location decided by co-owners.

Ownership, my suggestion is to register the yacht in The Bahamas or The Cayman Islands. (The nation of the flag registration is Negotiable with Cayman Island as the First Choice) and the all-important registration will be done in each and every co-owner's name as co-owners - not in my name until such time co-owners have decided out of their own to end to co-owners agreement and be refunded in full by myself.

I will follow up with more details regarding me, my character / who I am, and the procedure required from interested future co-owners.

I do have a dedicated Facebook page (private) with detailed photos of the yacht, the current state, etc.

I do hope you find te info adequate

Best regards
George Oliver.

Interesting - thanks for the info. I’ll check it out.

While I get what you’re saying about not being a business that’s holding out charter ops to the public, any type of fractional ownership arrangement without setting up at least one dedicated business entity for the partnership is a nightmare waiting to happen. Likely two entities at minimum for vessel ownership and operations/crew, plus possibly a third as an overall holding company.

Do you own the vessel outright already, or is this a speculative venture seeking investors to fund the project?

Lance
 
After all of the sailing and diving adventures and locations visited, you as a Co-Owner can walk away from being a Co-Owner and get your money back – in full, regardless of the time period.

This part from the PDFs scares the hell out of me. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

I’d advise anyone considering this venture to seek advice from legal counsel. Preferably someone experienced in marine or aviation fractional ownership setup. There are many potential pitfalls in what is offered here.

Can fractional ownership work? Absolutely. The registration scheme proposed here does not appear to transfer actual ownership rights, as opposed to an ownership entity with shares holding the title & registration or equivalent.

The sub-lease aspect of the time share arrangement might be problematic for charter regulations too. As an “owner”, that means potential liability exposure.

TUDA, good luck with this adventure.
