Nautic Share

Imagine enjoying all the advantages of boating with none of the hassles and much less cost. NauticShare offers just that through a choice of three membership levels with different guaranteed monthly access. Members select from a large fleet of luxury yachts and power boats, choosing the amount of time they wish to use a particular vessel. The plans feature three-, six-, and fourteen-cruise-per-month options, with unused cruises carrying over to the next month. NauticShare allows overnight and even week-long excursions. Those holding Navigator-level memberships can keep a boat for up to 14 days.

Operated by Houston-based The Nautic Group, Inc., NauticShare puts each new member through the Basic Keelboat 101 course, taught by American Sailing Association (ASA) certified instructors. Trained in boat operation and safety, the NauticShare members then can power off with peace of mind to enjoy worry-free excursions without the cost of mortgage, insurance, maintenance, repairs, or even marina fees. The monthly membership fees at NauticShare, starting as low as $395 per month, bring the luxury boating experience within reach of many budgets. As an added benefit, the boat-membership firm takes NauticShare members to the British Virgin Islands annually to participate in a yacht-charter flotilla.

In addition to NauticShare, The Nautic Group offers top sailing instruction on the Gulf Coast of Texas at Nautic Sailing School, which trains boaters from beginners to captains. The ASA 101-15 course takes place in the British Virgin Islands. The parent company of NauticShare also operates Nautic Yacht Sales, a dealer for several top manufacturers, including Robalo Fishing Boats; Azure Sports Boats; Cruisers Yachts; Dufour Yachts; and Hunter Marine. The dealership is also a leader in the sale of pre-owned yachts. The company's successful boat membership firm, NauticShare, brings the innovative business model full circle. Staying current with industry technology and events, NauticShare holds membership in the ASA, the Yacht Brokers Association of America, Gulf Coast Yacht Brokers Association, and Sail America.
