Are you considering yacht ownership and prefer to take your holidays in the Mediterranean? Are high running costs and the extensive maintenance efforts required keeping you from enjoying the advantages, privileges, and lower cost of ownership? The Islands Group ownership programme costs less than a typical equivalent charter/rental while delivering the superior experience and benefits of owning your own yacht.

We focus only on the top end of a superb range to offer an uncompromising level of quality, comfort, safety, and sophistication.
Benefits of Ownership-
Whether you are holidaying with your family or close friends the rights of ownership make for a far superior experience whilst saving costs in the long term. Our programme is designed to carefully select individuals who take pride in ownership- and then to remove the hassle, cost, and annoyances of doing it all on your own.
Consider the significant value and convenience compared to individual purchase or frequent chartering of equivalent & comparisons of 3x the cost to other fractional programs on a similarly sized and equipped custom yacht.
If you're not yet an experienced sailor or just want to be well taken care of we can provide an optional captain, crew, or chef as desired or you can be the captain on your own once certified. Our priority is to get you ready for an unforgettable luxurious holiday in the Med at a fraction of the cost.
Destinations-
Your sailing destinations can be flexibly scheduled to both unique and familiar locations across the Mediterranean. Cruising locations available include Italy, Croatia, the Greek Islands, and Turkey. As a partial owner of your yacht new destinations can be undertaken as long as logistically possible. And as we grow new options will be possible to enjoy on comparable yachts.

Yacht Ownership without the High Cost...
Yacht ownership is expensive. The considerable cost of the yacht itself and additional costs include delivery, mooring, maintenance, insurance and cleaning. Consider how often you are likely to use your yacht in a year. For most people sole ownership does not make economical sense. Why waste time and expense messing about with the hassle of full ownership that you will not make use of? Or the costly and at times unpleasant experience of dealing with unpredictable chartering companies?
The Bénéteau Océanis 50'-
The Bénéteau Oceanis 50' is a superb top of the range yacht that was recently redesigned with a super-yacht influence and touch by the notable Berret Racoupeau and Nauta design. On its own it’s a terrific value- we have looked at many choices before making this selection for the Islands Group ownership programme.
From Bénéteau-
"A prestigious yacht that heralds a new era in the history of blue water cruising yachts. The Océanis 50 is an unequivocal invitation to delight in her design, comfort and performance. The hull and deck plan are the work of the Berret Racoupeau design office. Their designs have led to the creation of an aesthetically powerful and attractive yacht with remarkable sea keeping qualities. The interior architecture and design are by Nauta Design. This great Italian name, a benchmark in the super yacht world, has helped the Océanis 50 achieve her true personality – one of contemporary lines where luminosity, comfort and wellbeing take precedence on board."

The Bénéteau 57'
The 57' is a leap above your typical large sail boat and is a true and impressive yacht that competes with the best of the exclusive custom yards (Oyster, etc). The B57 is within its own class and with out direct comparisons outside of the super-yacht customs that will cost many times the price and require an order of magnitude of additional costly maintenance.
From Bénéteau-
"A voyage takes on a whole new dimension aboard a Bénéteau 57. The dream-like silhouette, by Farr Yacht Design, unforgettable comfort, sophisticated materials and luxurious finishes…This top of the line Bénéteau will satisfy even the most demanding owner.
Designed by Farr Yacht Design, this powerful 57-foot passagemaker sets a new standard for production sailing yachts. Her brilliant details have been so well thought out that, in fact, she may perhaps even exceed the aspirations of some semi-custom yards. No other vessel in her class has ever delivered this smart combination of styling, luxury, performance at such unequaled value."
From the Sailing Magazine Boat Test-
“Where would we be without dreams? For years, Francois Chalain, Beneteau’ s chief designer and in-house conceptualist, dreamed about creating a production boat like the new 57. His vision centered on a powerful sailing machine with the kind of luxurious amenities and long list of standard features that would permanently alter the public’ s perception of the world’ s largest sailboat builder, placing it squarely among the ranks of the elite custom boat builders. And as lofty as those aspirations are, there is also a practical side to Beneteau’ s stunning new flagship. Dealer Chuck Laughlin of St. Barts Yachts in
Step, however, is too mild a word. The new 57 is a leap for Beneteau—this is a departure boat, a statement boat. Designed by Bruce Farr, (with close collaboration from Chalain) this new center-cockpit passage maker has genuinely raised the bar for production builders as it combines a hull form that allows for luxurious accommodations and yet one that offers surprising performance. What is not surprising is that Beneteau has deployed all of its manufacturing moxie to bring the 57 to market at a base price that will make other builders seasick with envy.”
