Faced with the difficulty of buying a boat, Liberty Pass reconciles the interests of regular boat renters with those of prospective boat buyers. Intelligent solutions to the rising cost of new boats.

A solution for "expensive boats

True to its credo of making access to sailing easier and more affordable, Liberty Pass is focusing on its boatsharing programs.

Buying a boat remains a complicated act for many yachtsmen: access to berths is problematic in many regions, and the 20-30% increase in boat prices since the Covid crisis has prompted yachting enthusiasts to review their expectations. With boatsharing solutions, Liberty Pass facilitates the purchase of a boat by an owner, who in turn shares it with subscribers.

Shared use between owners and subscribers facilitates both access to navigation for all users and to ownership.

Invest in your boat with complete security

Customers interested in Liberty Pass boatsharing programs work with the brand to put together a financing plan, enabling them to purchase their boat via a conventional dealer.

The boat is then leased to a professional, who takes care of maintenance, coaching and regular monitoring.

Committed to terms of 3 to 7 years, depending on the size and budget of the boat, whether it's an open hull or a larger houseboat, the owner will be paid the subscription income every month. This guaranteed, recurring monthly income will smooth out the cash flow required to pay the rent on the boat.

The Liberty Pass boatsharing offer is particularly wide-ranging and diversified. The purchaser is freed from the problems associated with co-ownership, and thanks to the subscribers, finds a way of paying his or her charges and eventually buying a larger unit. Subscribers, meanwhile, benefit from a wider range of boats on offer, and the possibility of owning one too, thanks to the eco-sharing principle. A "win-win" system that opens up more opportunities for access to the sea.
