Do you dream of exploring distant horizons, of places so remote they are the last undiscovered destinations on the globe? And have you come to the frustrating conclusion that going there on your own yacht will forever remain the dream? Insufficient time, no crew, too much respect for the weather around the destination, or just not enough trust in your own capabilities to go it alone?

Sally Lightfoot offers you and other likeminded adventurours, the possibility to make your dream come true, by taking away financial and other practical obstacles. You can join Sally Lightfoots fleet of sturdy expedition sailing vessels as part of the team of co-owners. By teaming up and joining forces, advantages and possibilities arise that you would never have dreamed of. And these are not merely financial ones.

By joining our program and becoming part owner of one of our comfortable expedition vessels, you will be able to enjoy your vessel, or part thereof, depending on the size of your share, for at least one month a year. Our vessels will sail along a preset route that will take them to destinations well of the beaten track in the most favourable seasons. It is up to you to decide when and where to hop on and off. However, given the remoteness of the sailing grounds, the minimum time to be spent on board will be around one month.

Once you step on board, you will plan and sail your route, in the reassuring knowledge that the crew will always be close at hand to assist and monitor. The crew takes care of maintenance, ship security while sailing and at anchor, delivery trips and provisioning. Of course you personal preferences will be taken into account in this respect. Depending on the sailing ground, a local guide or an expert with interesting knowledge can join the crew for your benefit.

Depending on the size of your share you will be entitled the use of the ship exclusively, or the use of one or more owners cabins. In the latter case you will share the ship with likeminded souls giving you the joy of sharing experiences while underway.

The ‘Sally Lightfoot route’ presents you with an innovative take on large yacht ownership: co-ownership with all the benefits of ownership and charter, without the disadvantages usually coming with either of the two, even with the chances of getting some financial return on your investment.
