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.

Surviving a Timeshare Presentation
Useful tips you'll learn: The biggest secret about timeshares. How to "check the math", How to pay for your timeshare, 10 reasons not to buy a timeshare, 4 words to be wary of, questions to ask to put you in control, and much, much more. Customer Review: Informative I wish the book had been longer, and exposed some of the schemes that were around years ago and may still be around today from the feedback that I've heard from other people. However, I found the book valuable and will recommend it for anyone ever going on one of those horrible timeshare presentations. Having it with you during one of those might just scare the salesperson into telling the truth! Customer Review: a great buyers guide, not a way to survive a timeshare presentation Being a 25 year veteran of the timeshare industry I thought this would be a good read and would finally expose the timeshare industry and the games that are played during the sales presentation. Timesharing has become a tremendous value during the years, however some developers still use tactics that gave the industry a bad name in the early 70's and 80's. I found Ms. Scherier's inexperience in the industry very disheartening and understand why she chose to write this book because she obviously knows nothing about closing a sale, or of other companies besides the one she has worked for. I did find her honest approach in her presentation warming as more of this is needed in the industry, however, this is not a book on how to survive any presentation and in fact is a great sales tool. Some of the facts she presented were not accurate. I sincerly hope that everyone reads this before they come to my presentation as I believe it would ensure me a much higher closing percentage. If any publisher is truly interested in teaching consumers how to "survive a timeshare presentation", and to understand the emotional persuasion that's involved, they should cantact me.
Timeshare Resort Operations : A Guide to Management Practice (Hospitality, Leisure and Tourism)
This book provides a complete overview of timeshare development and operation models. The authors take a comprehensive look at the present and future of this growing segment of the hospitality industry, including specialized approaches to marketing, human resources, service quality, finance, legal considerations and professional ethics.
Timeshare, or vacation ownership, is a relatively recent leisure phenomenon. It emerged in the late 1950s as a way to secure extra capital resources to fund property expansion. Shareholders had the right to use these properties on a regular basis. Although arrangements have grown in complexity and variation, the model allows for customers to buy rights to use a property for a fixed time period each year. Timeshare arrangements have experienced rapid international growth particularly in the last fifteen to twenty years and are now an important vacation arrangement. Most of the world's major hotel and resort developers now operate timeshare properties. Firms like Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Disney and Ramada have brought a new formality and legitimacy to timeshare development and operation.
* Covers the fastest growing area in the hospitality industry * Takes operational approach the entire timeshare product, not just marketing & sales * Clarifies the mystery of the timeshare product, cuts through preconceptions
Timeshare: Second Time Around (Timeshare Trilogy)
Customer Review: Great Series I try to re-read this series a couple times a year. I Googled Joshua Dann and found a web site is the UK that says he is also writing under the name J. D. Austin. Customer Review: Charming, old-fashioned and a good read SECOND TIME AROUND is a wonderful book in how it captures the 1920s and time travel. The plot and setting is vividly caught in a neat style. However, there are few redeeming qualities about the narrator. He continually "grabs" his girlfriend (and gets quite possessive over her during one scene at a nightclub) and constantly refers to her beauty and the fact that they make love every night. He also likes to pat himself on the back a lot in his relations with people and comes across as patronizing rather than sincere. He "conveniently" solves Dorothy Parker's problems by "giving" her a man and fails to remember that there were women at the Algonquin Table as well as men. (This fact can be verified by several reference sources.) It seems that he has confused being old fashioned (which is fine) with being ignorant (women aren't helpless). Way too much time is spent on the fact that FBI director Hoover was gay, as if that were the reason he was corrupt. While it is true that Althea is given the opportunity to help with the protagonist's problems, she is often left behind and patronized. Hopefully, Mr. Dann's third book in the third series (about World War 11) will give Althea her due. This storyteller is definitely talented and able to keep the reader glued to the page. Maybe next time he'll leave out the subtle sexism and homophobia.
