SMART BOAT OWNER
The most current and easy solution
to live your dream boat: even smarter today!
Shared Ownership
Shared ownership makes the dream of the sea more accessible than buying a boat of its own, dividing costs and responsibilities. It is a contemporary and intelligent way of living the sea, with flexibility, convenience and pleasure. From here comes our idea of articulating it in increasingly smart and tailored mode for each customer.
We at 43° Parallelo believe in it deeply. For this reason we propose free and dynamic ways to experience the sea without worries: Smart Boat Owner and a new possibility to monetize your unused weeks
Smart Boat Owner is an innovative system of purchase and sharing of a boat born two years ago: since then it has continued to evolve in an increasingly agile and smart direction: the new way of living the boat.
You can now expect much more from Smart Boat Owner program.
What is Smart Boat Owner
Smart Boat Owner is an innovative boat-sharing program created by 43° Parallelo, lasting six years.
It involves the purchase of a sailboat or catamaran shared with up to five other owners, thus sharing the purchase and maintenance costs. The owner also has the option to use the boat for specific periods of the year, up to eight weeks, based on a shared calendar defined annually.
Smart Boat Owner was designed to effectively meet the needs of both those who want to purchase a boat without incurring heavy financial commitments and burdensome bureaucratic procedures, as well as those who already own one and are familiar with the costs and issues involved.
At the end of the 6 years, the boat is sold and it is possible to recover part of the initial investment or sign a new contract for a new boat.

How to earn with Smart Boat Owner?
Do you decide not to use part of your shares? Or do you even want to find a different destination for your entire share? Today you can do it.
Tell us the weeks you will use and make available the ones you don’t. They will be included in the shared calendar. It will become an easy and dynamic way not to waste what you have invested. On the contrary you will earn making them purchaseable.
Below is a concrete example of the purchase of a share of the Sun Odyssey 410 with the traditional Smart Boat Owner system, in comparison with the formula with active co-owner:
Co-owner with SMART BOAT OWNER | Co-owner with SMART BOAT OWNER + SHARING |
|---|---|
8 weeks of use | 4 weeks holiday + 4 weeks in sharing |
SBO share price: € 63.000 (end-2030 program term) | SBO share price: € 63.000 (end-2030 program term) |
Annual operating cost: €4.700 | Annual operating cost: €4.700 |
Estimated residual value: €44,000 | Estimated residual value: €44,000 |
Average annual fixed-term cost program € 8.500 | Average annual fixed-term cost program € 8.500 |
Annual revenue sharing: € 5.070 | |
Annual residual cost: € 3,430 + 4 weeks VACATION |
Co-owners will participate in the weekly selections via webapp. They will choose the 8 weeks of use, distributed in 4 12-week periods, with a fair rotation system and the possibility of booking 2 weeks per period, even consecutive.
From 2026 Smart Boat Owner becomes even more flexible for co-owners: you can book in advance only part of the weeks and take advantage of the remaining periods by accessing the shared calendar (including short periods) and you will be able to move the booked weeks to availability.
All co-owners can use or sell their shares via webapp.
Each co-owner can leave the system by selling his share at any time. At the end of the contract, co-owners can continue with the program, sell the boat or buy a share on another boat.
With a separate cost, you can book several extras.
At the beginning of the year, the annual expenses and the list of any additional materials or improvements to the boat that will be purchased with the agreement of all are presented.
Smart Boat Owner takes charge of everything: maintenance, management, bureaucracy, mooring, insurance, any unexpected events.
Before and after each exit the boat is cleaned: the tank is delivered full for each departure; linen is available on request.
Shared boats are in use for 11 months per year, as one month is reserved for maintenance during the winter season.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Smart Boat Owner is an innovative program of shared ownership that allows you to become the owner of a boat share, enjoying all the advantages of the ownership without the problems of managing the boat.
While with the rental you pay for a temporary service, with SBO you become real owner of a share of the boat, with voting rights, absolute priority on bookings and, news 2026, the possibility of generating revenue through Sharing.
Yes, any co-owner can leave the program at any time. The decision to sell the shares must first be notified to the existing co-owners. If among the co-owners there is no bidder for the shares put up for sale, those who leave can sell their shares to third parties or receive the support of Smart Boat Owner. The new co-owner is included in the “Contract of Partnership” with an “Additional Protocol”.
The boat with all its equipment is of common use. Galley stove and cushions and mattress protections are provided, and you will find them ready on board. On your return, you will have to remove all personal effects from the boat. Upon request, we can store your personal items for you in special containers and board them before your arrival.
The initial investment varies depending on the boat chosen.
At the end of the 6-year program, the boat is sold and you receive your share of the remaining value.
Absolutely yes: by making unused weeks or even an entire year available, you can generate additional revenue.
Ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, comprehensive insurance, dedicated marine mooring, car parking, nautical documentation management and 24/7 technical support. The final cleaning is the responsibility of the user.
According to the contract concluded at the time of purchase, it is expected that the boat will be sold at the end of the sixth year, this to ensure that members sell their boat at a value that is high, without increasing maintenance and repair costs. In this way, it aims to offer an optimal advantage to partners who want to replace their boat with a newer and / or larger model.
Each owner is entitled to 8 weeks/year guaranteed, divided into 2 weeks for each of the 4 seasonal periods.
The system is simple and transparent:
- November: All shipowners choose their 8 weeks for the following year via a Rotation System: A-F letter assignment with priority that rotates annually
Maximum flexibility: You can choose only a few weeks and use the shared calendar for others, depending on the availability you can change your periods of use and also book short periods (midweek Monday to Wednesday and long weekend from Thursday to Sunday).
You can put them in Sharing and generate revenue, or simply not use them. The choice is yours.
At the time of boarding, the co-owner who has to leave, checks the boat fully prepared by check-list (on webapp) and signs it, after which a document is issued certifying that the boat has been checked in all its parts. Smart Boat Owner always delivers the boat complete and in navigational condition. Malfunctions, deficiencies, damage and losses resulting from the use are the responsibility of those who used the boat. The photographic material made at check out and before check in is always available to each co-owner on the webapp.
Sharing allows you to make available to annual customers the weeks you do not use, generating additional revenue.
Absolute priority: shipowners choose in advance all their weeks of use for the following year between October and November and have the possibility to modify them according to availability.
It depends on how many weeks you make available, you can choose to leave 4 (one per period) or if a year for personal reasons you do not have the opportunity to use the boat you can leave it available to the Sharing and generate a very interesting profit.
Yes: you have a share of the boat, with contractual act that guarantees you all ownership rights, including the right to vote on important decisions and the right of pre-emption on other shares.

43° Parallelo manages completely everything: ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, insurance, mooring, cleaning, documentation and 24/7 technical support.
The boat is moored at the Marina di Scarlino, one of the most equipped and safest marinas in the Tyrrhenian Sea, with top quality services.
To sail the boat independently yes, but we can provide professional skipper for those who do not have a license or prefer to be accompanied.
