What is fractional ownership?

The basic concept of fractional ownership is based on bringing like minded individuals together to purchase large capital outlay assets typically with very high maintenance expenses, time consuming management responsibilities and sometimes high depreciation rates. When proper systems are in place and expectations are set from the beginning, fractional ownership arrangements work out very nicely. One of the biggest perks to fractional ownership is the ability to get much more asset and service for the money.

Liberty Ship Business Plan and Articles of Association (about 30 pages) are available ($10) see "Buy now" at the right column, or call Captain Craig at (530) 227-3503. We use the PayPal system but any credit card works.

BUT FIRST ...
please review the information and links on this page and the FAQs at "management prospectus". There is no need to spend time and money on the details unless you have a good idea regarding how this project will work for you. 

 

Things important in this business: 

* Online scheduling system, offering flexibility.
* When you step onto your yacht it should have everything of yours on it.
*  Members never have to worry about maintenance, repairs, hiring of captain and crew or the management of the yacht.

Important note:

Liberty Ship Ltd. managed operations adhere to strict rules based on the following principles...  - debt free operation, fiscal responsibility, safety, compliance with the laws of all the jurisdictions which we travel, and strict U.S. and British "Know Your Customer"  requirements which include background checks.
 We are a Conservative / Libertarian principled and managed business.

Questions to ask yourself before considering membership in this project.
1) Money - Can you easily sink 20k (or the fraction you are purchasing) into a project, and afford 500 USD per month to maintain it?
2) Time - Do you have time to spend traveling the world. Do you have a passion to do this?   Do you have the time and desire to learn,  participate, and teach others?
 3) Circumstances: Are you retired? Self employed? Does your work go with you? Do you have friends / family that can accompany you on your sailing journeys in various parts of the world? Do you have no pets? Can your home get along without you while you are away with friends and family cruising?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Captain Craig Simmons, CEO Liberty Ship Ltd.

.“Whatever humans can accomplish, the platform for it is liberty. To say that freedom carries too much potential for abuse is like arguing that oceans are too dangerous and should be outlawed”
- J Rappoport

"The sea gets unimaginably treacherous and unforgiving  when we face her with incapacity, incompetence, or neglect."   

"A ship in a harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

A note from your Captain:

“Good business management needs to be founded upon moral - scientific principles that are indisputable and universally sound. They need to work like an unwavering star that indicates... not where to go ... but how to get there. The principles must work similar to how an “invisible hand” works in a free market, among free minds and free people who all - independently choose their own course.

When this kind of management is done well, no one sees it. No single person gets credit, things just seem to work and feel right. It’s like the magic of  “tacking close to the wind” or the "invisible spirit" that makes a thing infinitely more than the sum of its parts.

When in charge, know the rules, the principles, and the risks 'impeccably'. Stand by your convictions, particularly when facing challenges, even sure death, hell, or high water. Always keep in mind, when the chips are down, or when things go wrong - or worse ... In the event you have been elected to command? …                                            'Command”.

- Captain Craig Simmons CEO, Liberty Ship Ltd.
