Where the difference becomes clear

Full boat ownership remains the right choice for many people. But for many, the greatest challenge isn't purchasing the boat — it's everything that comes afterwards: insurance, servicing, storage, cleaning, maintenance, administration, resale.

Instead of carrying 100% of the purchase cost, depreciation and responsibility, OC shareholders enjoy a premium ownership experience while sharing both the cost commitment and the operational cost across six owners.

OC running costs are your one-sixth share of the boat's total annual management cost. Full ownership figures are a like-for-like estimate for the same boat, owned and managed privately.

All figures include GST at 15% and are indicative. Figures also exclude recreational marine asset depreciation costs.
