Co-ownership · Palamós

Ownership of the days, not of the paperwork

For selected owners, SolarCove proposes a structured access model combining private usage, operated management and long-term optionality.

The model

What co-ownership actually means here

01

A share of one yacht

You acquire a defined fractional share in a single, named vessel — not a points scheme and not a membership.

02

Allocated usage

Your share converts into allocated weeks or day-blocks across the season, planned once a year and adjustable by exchange.

03

Operated management

SolarCove holds the berth, the crew, the maintenance schedule, insurance and compliance under one operating agreement.

04

Optional charter participation

Unused capacity may be placed into the SolarCove charter programme, with participation defined by the structure you choose.

Who it is for

People who want the sea, not the second job

You spend four to ten weeks a year on the Costa Brava and want a boat waiting, provisioned, clean and crewed — without owning a hundred percent of a depreciating asset you use ten percent of the time.

You value knowing which yacht is yours, who maintains it, and what next season costs — before the season starts.

Ownership FAQ

The questions owners ask first

Ask something else →
How does co-ownership work?

You hold a defined fractional share in a single named vessel, alongside a small number of other owners. A separate operating agreement gives SolarCove the mandate to berth, crew, maintain, insure and — where you wish — charter the yacht.

How is usage allocated?

Each share converts into a number of weeks and flexible day-blocks across the season, including a defined number of peak-season weeks. The calendar is set annually on a rotating priority basis, with an exchange window so owners can trade dates between themselves.

Is the yacht privately usable?

Yes. During your allocated time the yacht is exclusively yours, with your skipper, your provisioning and your itinerary. It is not shared with other parties on the same day.

Can charter activity offset part of the operating cost?

It can. Where you release unused capacity into the charter programme, a defined share of net charter revenue may be applied against your annual contribution. This is a potential outcome dependent on demand and operations, not a guaranteed return, and no yield is promised.

How does exit work?

The structure anticipates a planned exit window at a multi-year horizon. SolarCove runs a structured resale process for the share. Sale proceeds depend on market conditions and the vessel's condition; residual value is not warranted.

What are the indicative commitments and fees?

A one-time share acquisition, a fixed annual operating contribution, and variable costs tied to your own usage such as catering, additional crew and fuel-equivalent charges where applicable. Indicative figures are set out in the brochure and confirmed in the definitive documentation.

What happens if I want more time than my share allows?

Additional days can usually be added at preferential owner rates, subject to the charter calendar and other owners' allocations.
