Boat Timeshares - A Unique Vacationing Experience
Author: Dana Sanders
If you’ve dreamed of sailing the seven seas, but don’t necessarily have the bank account to buy a luxury vessel, don’t despair. There are ways to make that dream happen without breaking your bank.
Boat timeshares offer a unique vacationing experience for almost any budget. By getting involved in a timeshare, you have the right to use that luxury vessel to make your dreams come true, but you alone are not solely responsible for all the expenses. Timeshares provide an excellent way for someone not willing or able to take on the
expense of purchasing a great vacationing boat themselves to still experience the adventure of life on the water.
A variety of companies offer would-be Captain Ahab’s the ability to take to the sea without shelling out a lot of cash.
Boat timeshare companies and programs are readily available and accessible across the Internet. Boating timeshare companies are active all over the world with even some finding their homes on America’s Great Lakes.
Basically, a boat timeshare offers a sailor a chance to buy into a piece of a boat for a season. Similar to a yacht club, but without all the expenses of owning your own yacht, these programs lets sailors sail minus the headaches. Some programs allow members to purchase blocks of time over the course of a sailing season to use a boat. Many programs work by giving several “skippers” the same boat during the sailing season. These skippers book multiple sail times, show up, sail, have a blast and return the boat for the next skipper to take over.
While boat timeshares provide everything needed to sail, members still are responsible for making sure the boat is in good condition when it’s returned. Swabbing the deck isn’t out of the question. However, many timeshare programs will even go as far as to include maintenance, fuel and so on in the initial price. This leaves the member responsible for simply safely piloting the vessel, keeping it clean and enjoying their high seas adventure with their family and friends for a fraction of the price of owning a yacht themselves. The insurance, boat licensing and other worries are generally handled by the timeshare company itself.
For those who lack the skills to man their own vessels, many boat timeshares will provide a crew including a captain, instructor, and/or cook at a small additional cost. One company in particular, Trade Winds Cruise Club, offers all-inclusive cabin rentals and is RCI’s (Resorts Condominiums International) only Caribbean yachting affiliate. As an RCI Member, you have the option of exchanging your timeshare week for a cabin space onboard crewed catamaran charters.
So, what is pricing like for these nautical adventures? Not bad considering a luxury boat can cost thousands and thousands of dollars. And even better when you consider buying your own boat doesn’t include fuel, maintenance, licensing and insurance costs and so on! A timeshare that covers an entire boating season can cost upwards of $7,000, a reasonable expense considering the headaches removed by taking part in such a venture.

A variety of companies with different programs and options are operating in a bevy of locations around the world.

The Suburban Timeshare
 The story focuses on four neighbouring households in a quiet suburban village south of Manchester: one of them is a family of foxes. The book is episodic in form, touching on a day here and a night there. The days belong to the people and the nights to the foxes (hence, The Suburban Timeshare), and the structure of the book reflects this pattern of life, with alternating chapters switching between human and fox viewpoint. Often there is an overlap between the chapters just as people and foxes overlap at dusk and dawn, interacting warily though amicably, each puzzling over the other's nature. Novel questions arise: We may feel that we have developed a genuine friendship with an animal in the wild, but how does the animal see it? And what are the chances of meaningful communication between humans and wildlife? There are four sections, covering four consecutive years from cubbing time to the next mating season. The total four-year period spans the lifetime of one particular fox, from his birth to his death. He is a member of the first litter born in the area, so this period also represents the first few years of contact between people and foxes. When the foxes first arrive, they evoke the usual mixed feelings - surprise, curiosity, some admiration, some fear. But over the ensuing years the human neighbours find that their lives are enriched in unforeseen ways. Emotional bonds develop, sufficiently powerful to cause both rapture and pain. A kind of love. Author's note - Realism versus Anthropomorphism: I aim to portray fox behaviour in a way that is emphatically realistic. Indeed, though my main purpose is to tell a story of our time, I would like to think that, by the end, the reader is reasonably well informed about the ways of a fox. TREGOLWYN BOOK REVIEWS says...This delightful story... grabs the reader's attention and keeps hold of it - I was hooked after the first few paragraphs. Stunning prose...the style is vivid and economical with startling use of metaphor. I loved the understated humour... remarkable story-telling talent.
...and continues...
If it weren't for the human characters to whom half the action belongs, "The Suburban Timeshare" could almost be non-fiction. The author is a fox enthusiast who knows his stuff, and it is his deep emotional attachment to the subject that makes this such a compelling read. Nor does Mr Hillel, for all his love of the species, ever descend into sentimentality. How does a human being manage to put himself so completely and so convincingly inside the skin of a "dumb" animal? I have no idea. It requires a degree of skill and understanding far beyond what most writers possess. [http://tregolwyn.tripod.com/tregolwyn/index.html] DR J DAVID HENRY [author of, 'Red Fox, The Catlike Canine'] says...A fine book. Your descriptions of the foxes are fresh and insightful, and make them come alive on the pages of the book. These passages are Vulpine Ecology expressed in a completely new way. It's a real joy to read. SOME READERS' COMMENTS...
- Thank you for the wonderful and heart-warming story of the foxes. I feel that it is as good as Jack London's "White Fang." - Singapore.
- An extremely gripping read, as well as being very informative. I feel that I've learnt quite a lot about the habits of foxes by reading your novel. - Melbourne, Australia.
- Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your book...a brilliant novel, both delightful and full of insight. - Vancouver, Canada.
- I have just finished reading your fantastic book (in Tears!). I found the book fascinating, very well written and very truthful. - Surrey, UK.
- The most amazing piece of work I have ever read. I couldn't put it down. I don't think I'll ever be the same again. - Darwin, Northern Territory.
