SailTime Power is the Smart & Easy Way to Get What You Really Want

SailTime Power is a boat club that lets you cruise your local waterway in a new power boat, as if it were your own, on a schedule that you plan yourself.  For people considering how to get on the water with their friends and families, the purchase price, combined with the cost of insurance, marina fees, and time spent on upkeep all add up!  Our Power program is an innovative approach to power boat access and ownership that makes it easier, quicker, and more economical for aspiring captains to take the helm.  SailTime Power removes the barriers to a new yacht and puts all the fun back into boating.  

With a SailTime Power membership, your monthly cost is typically less than a day’s charter rate at the local boat club or monthly slip charges for a similar boat. SailTime Power members don’t sacrifice on quality either. All of our power boats are “shared” by several Members and one Owner Member, who are each guaranteed flexible and frequent use of their boat. SailTime Power Members use our highly advanced SailTime Scheduler™ to make instant reservations or plan up to a year in advance.

SailTime Power is Easy

SailTime Power is an innovative approach to boating access and ownership that makes it easier, quicker and more economical for aspiring captains to take the helm of a new boat.

This is how it works:

A boat is "shared" by several Members and one Owner Member.  The Owner Member receives a Premier membership, guaranteeing them 14 half-day uses.  Members get to choose between two membership levels: Classic and Lite.

Classic Members are guaranteed 7 uses each month, 2 of those being on the weekend.  Classic Members are also entitled to free "as-available" boating if the boat is available within 36 hours.  Lite Members have about half that: 3 uses per month, one of those being on the weekend.  Lite Members also receive "as-available" boating, but pay per use.

SailTime Power Members design their own boating calendar using the highly advanced SailTime Scheduler™, a proprietary online, real-time scheduling system.

SailTime Power Members can make instant reservations or plan up to a year in advance and can even request to swap sail times with other Members.  If a SailTime Classic Member fails to use all of their time in one month, they can carry it over to the next month. Time can also be borrowed from a forward month for extended cruising.

SailTime Power Makes Economic Sense

SailTime Power is the economical alternative to traditional boat ownership or club membership. Consider this: most people who own a boat use it 2-3 times per month. Yet the cost of ownership is high: slip fees are $350-$1000 per month, your monthly payment to the bank could range from $1000/mo to $2000/mo, boat maintenance is expensive, there’s yachting insurance and, the list goes on and on! And, clubs…well, many of our members come from boating clubs, fed up with boats in poor condition and tight boat availability with no overnighting.

Enjoy the thrill of boat ownership, without the expense. With SailTime Power you share access to a new boat with others who are also interested in boating. Individually, you are guaranteed your time each month, and SailTime covers the insurance, marina fees, cleaning and repairs of the boat. All for a monthly cost that is usually less than a day’s charter rate at a local club or monthly slip charges for a similar boat. With boat ownership if you tire of the boat you have to sell it. With SailTime there is no long-term commitment, just one year. The appeal of SailTime is that it’s essentially a turn-key system, Members simply point, click, and cruise!

SailTime is Smart

Want to use a beautiful new power boat on your local waterway in the morning, afternoon, evening, overnight, weekend or for a week? For less than owning even an older, smaller boat or for less than the cost of some slips? With SailTime Power, you can. As a SailTime Power Member, your boat is ready when you are, thanks to our interactive online sail time scheduling and management system. SailTime Power has made boating practical, cost effective and simple.

If you want to use a boat like you own it, nothing compares to the SailTime Scheduler. Hundreds of hours of code development and years of working with our Members has enabled us to develop the proprietary SailTime Scheduler software program that permits Members to make instant reservations or plan up to a year in advance. Rules built into the system keep boat usage fair and equitable between members.  Simply choose your own boating schedule and update it whenever you want.  The boat is ready when you arrive, no waiting and no strict check-in times.

SailTime EttendantMaintenance is also simple with SailTime’s innovative Embark system.  Upon arrival and departure an assessment of the boat's condition is done by the member onboard.  Members follow a simple checklist of safety and cleanliness items located onboard.  After going through the checklist, the member then calls a toll free phone number, enters their SeaCode and if necessary, leaves a voicemail explaining any issue that needs attention.  This voicemail is immediately sent to the base manager, who handles the issue ASAP, ensuring the boat s always ready when you are.
