Simplicity
Each owner will be directly connected to the yacht and will be a named owner of the vessel. This will be your own piece of paradise.
ENVISIONED AND DEVELOPED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SUNSEEKER LONDON GROUP
We are incredibly honoured to have the opportunity to work with The London Group. They have been part of the sunseeker family tree since 1994 and recognised for the past 14 years by Sunseeker International as ‘Overall Distributor of the year’ and the ‘Best in the world customer service’.
Access to 40 offices in 20 countries throughout Europe and Northern Africa, year on year the Sunseeker London Group sells over half of the Sunseeker production.
We couldn’t have asked for a better hand in deciding what was right for our owners or a more trusted opinion on what the market was desperately missing. The group employees 225 staff that collectively are able to communicate in 14 different languages, this alongside the Meros team means the level of service will be unmatched by any other co-ownership provider.
CO-OWNERSHIP – YOUR OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS WITH MEROS
THE CO-OWNERSHIP
Meros was designed to make the dream of yacht ownership a reality. Providing accessibility to an industry that can be very hard to navigate. The benefits of co-ownership are well known and what Meros will do is provide you with a bespoke plan of ownership that will be tailored directly to your wants, needs and usage.
We understand that making a decision on such a lifestyle change comes from the experience that you have, the ability to really imagine this being a more permanent feature in your life.
For this fact alone we offer our clients to experience what we can do. Let’s us show you what we are capable of and really get to know, what could be your boat. As our vessels await their co-owners, they are available to charter. If you choose to charter a Meros vessel, love what you see and believe that you would like to have a part of the action – and join. Then this charter will be on us.
WHAT CO-OWNERSHIP SUITS YOU BEST?
Having such choice allows you to really tailor your experience and ensure that the choice to enter into yachting is a sustainable one. Our sharing structures, although unique in design have one particular similarity.
The experience. Aboard, the yacht is at your sole disposal; you decide where you cruise; where you want to anchor; who you want aboard. Although a co-owner your freedom is still paramount.
QUARTERS
YOUR YACHT | YOUR WAY
The quarter model offers you pro rata ship ownership. You purchase a ¼ share in a Sunseeker yacht, giving you 12 weeks of use of that yacht. Enough time to live out your yachting dreams and participate in the superyacht lifestyle.
Yachts in the Quarters program are registered as private yachts only. Shares in the Quarters model cannot be flexibly reduced or increased, they are exactly what they are. If you are interested in owning more than a quarter of the vessel then we would increase this at the same rate – Quarter – Half and so on.
In this model, you are the direct co-owner and co-decision maker for all investments and expenses that go beyond the daily operation. Meros operates these yachts on behalf of the owners’ association and takes care of all matters and also provides the crew, so that you can enjoy your time on board.
FLEX-SHARE
FLEXIBLE USAGE | FIXED COST
In the Flex-Share Model, you have the ultimate freedom to tailor your usage with your investment. You invest into the vessel in line with your desired amount of weeks, but you do not hold direct ownership. The benefit of not being a named owner is that you do not bear any risks such as loss of value, repairs or accidents. You only pay a guaranteed flat rate for your desired annual use. All the imponderables are now our concern. The yacht, its technology, crew and management are the responsibility of Meros – you are simply left to enjoy your time aboard. Your initial investment is to be regarded as a deposit, which you will get back in full with a discount of 8% when you want to leave the Meros Flex-Share model within the first 24 months.
Similar to a vehicle lease, when or if you return your share to move to a larger vessel in our fleet or simply move on you bear no risk of loss of value for resale, as is the case with a normal boat owner. In addition, this model offers you the flexibility to change the scope of your use. If free shares (weeks) are available and this year you decide you would like to increase your time aboard you can purchase them in addition. If your demand decreases temporarily, individual weeks can be released for charter during the year or more permanently sold, allowing you to flexibly reduce your share of use and adapt it as and when is necessary. The Flex-share Model starts with a 6-week claim to use and can be flexibly increased.
From 12 weeks onwards we look to explore giving you more choice with participation possible in different locations. The Meros Flex-Share offers you the possibility of swapping weeks of use within the co-ownership. For each week, a weekly value is decided depending on the season and the yacht. If a summer week is exchanged for an autumn week, the monetary advantage or disadvantage that arises for the individual user is compensated allowing not just your overall on the year flexible but also when.
As the fleet grows, we have great ambitions to introduce Meros Exchange allowing owners to explore different locations, trading your week onto another ship. Incredibly this means as the company grows so does our clients opportunities. With the expansion of the Meros fleet, you will in all likelihood also have access to exceptional sea areas in Croatia/Montenegro, Greece, Turkey and beyond
We set to revolutionise previous yachting approaches.
FLEX-LEASE
ITS EASY | JUMP RIGHT IN
Do you want to forego an initial investment? You prefer to use your capital much more profitably in your company?
You can take advantage of all the benefits of the Flex-Share model with a small surcharge, because we finance your investment share in the background.
