TRY & BUY
Comfort and relaxation
What is TRY & BUY
Try & Buy is a purchase option designed for those who want to enter the world of shared boat ownership (see Smart Boat Owner, the program redefining the concept of shared ownership) but prefer to do so with an initial period of concrete experience before completing the investment.
The mechanism is simple and transparent: you can sign a contract in which the price of the Smart Boat Owner share is set immediately, thus locking in the value over time. The booking and usage methods are the same as a standard Smart Boat Owner contract. During the first year, you’ll only pay an initial sum, equivalent to a small portion of the boat’s value, plus a separate fee for annual maintenance and management.
Over the course of these twelve months, you’ll experience the boat as a real owner, with all that this entails: sea trips, organization, space management, and full immersion in the lifestyle that shared ownership makes possible. It’s a real, concrete time that allows you to transform an idea into a direct experience.
At the end of the year, the choice remains entirely in your hands: you can complete the purchase by paying the remaining balance and effectively becoming the owner of the share, or give up, terminating the contract with no further commitments.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE: MOKÈ II
Sun Odyssey share
In the case of our Sun Odyssey 350 Mokè II, a share purchased directly costs:
- €40,000 for the fee
- approximately €4,200 of annual management expenses
(costs including VAT)
TRY & BUY FORMULA
With the Try & Buy formula, however, in the first year you will pay:
- €7,340 for the share
- €4,660 as a lump sum for ordinary and extraordinary maintenance (in 3 installments)
for a total of €12,000, including the down payment and management.
(VAT included)
What happens at the end of the year
At the end of the trial period:
- If you decide to purchase, you will pay the final balance of €33,330, becoming the owner of the share and recovering €6,670 in share;
- If you decide to cancel, the contract ends and the amount paid remains forfeited.
(costs include VAT)
Why is this formula born
Try & Buy was created to accompany you on this journey with awareness, giving you time to truly understand what owning a share means. A year of use allows you to clearly evaluate the experience, costs, and true value of this lifestyle, without pressure.
The plan will be available on selected shares and on boats already active within the program.
No risk, just fun:
evaluate your boat in complete freedom.
