Bobby proposes a revised business model for a fractional sailing program, shifting from a cabin-charter structure to a whole-boat membership.▶ 3:27 The updated plan requires a $40,000 initial buy-in plus $7,000 in annual maintenance fees for a five-year term, providing members with one week of crewed sailing per year.▶ 7:15 To ensure financial viability, the program requires a minimum of 30 whole-boat members, with a maximum cap of 40 to allow for maintenance periods and scheduling flexibility.▶ 3:26 A rotating priority system would manage peak-season bookings, while a 120-day reservation window with fully refundable deposits serves as a safeguard for potential participants.▶ 18:16 The model aims to provide a crewed charter experience at approximately half the retail cost of traditional commercial operators like The Moorings or Sunsail.▶ 7:31 Legal considerations include selecting jurisdictions that permit charter operations without requiring expensive local boat re-registration or import duties.▶ 23:21
