The  excitement of yacht ownership can sometimes be superseded by the expense and  attention required to keep it running. However, the bright sparks at YachtPlus  have come up with the perfect solution; taking the proven concept of fractional  ownership and applying this to a fleet of private luxury contemporary  motor-yachts you can now own a yacht without the side-effects. The yachts have  been exclusively designed and built by Lord Norman Foster the acclaimed  architect of Wembley Stadium, the Sage in Gateshead and the new Beijing Airport.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" title=\"image of Yachtplus yacht\" alt=\"image of Yachtplus yacht\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/library\/blogs\/Ext%202.JPG\" \/>The 40 SIGNATURE SERIES designed  by Lord Foster and his team are luxury super-yachts with emphasis given to  quality and quantity of space, outdoor terraces, light and views offering more  deck space and interior comfort than any equivalent yacht. YachtPlus take the  hassle out of Yacht ownership by managing, maintaining, crewing and  repositioning the fleet on behalf of the Owners ensuring that the yachts are  kept in pristine condition. The fractional ownership programme guarantees you an  agreed number of weeks cruising each year and if you don&#039;t want to use all of  them you can also receive revenue from chartering the yacht in those weeks. The  fleet is expected to spend the summer in the <a title=\"link to information about Mediterranean\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_charter\/mediterranean_sea_charter.php?locations=All&#038;keywords=mediterranean&#038;\">Mediterranean <\/a>and the winter in the <a title=\"link to Caribbean\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_charter\/caribbean_sea_charter.php?locations=All&#038;keywords=caribbean&#038;\"> Caribbean<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Upon the owners discretion, these yachts will also be available for charter during weeks when the owner won&#039;t be using their allocated slots.
