Start with a flexible monthly rental and build ownership credits toward your future villa purchase. Your price is locked from day one, credits never expire, and you can convert to full ownership whenever you're ready.

Purchase your residence outright with full ownership rights. You own the property and can resell it, pass it to heirs, or rent it out when not in use.

Those seeking a permanent home at sea with full property rights and long-term investment potential.

Term-Based Ownership
Own your residence for a set period — typically 5, 10, or 15 years. A lower entry point with the option to renew or upgrade.
Ideal for
Those who want ownership benefits without committing to a lifetime purchase.

- NO monthly fees — ever
- Guaranteed cabin access for life

Fractional Ownership
Own a fraction (typically ½ or ¼) of a residence and share usage time with other owners. A great way to access residential cruising at a fraction of the cost.
Ideal for
Those who want ownership benefits but only plan to live aboard part-time.
- ½ or ¼ ownership shares available
- Scheduling assistance provided
- Lower cost than full ownership
- Share with friends or family
- Pro-rated monthly fees
