Our unique Carefree allocation scheme works to provide flexible weeks of cruising.

It has been designed for those people who know what time of year that they want to take their main holidays in, but who don’t want to take the same fixed weeks holidays each and every year. It also allows those dependent upon school holidays to also use their boat when they need to. It is based upon buying “blocks” of time:

Two weeks  per year  = 1/24th share

Four weeks per year = 1/12th share

Six weeks per year = 1/8th share

Eight weeks per year = (1/6th share).

Choose your main holiday weeks

Our scheme allows you to choose when you want to take your main holiday and then you will continue with this choice throughout your ownership of the boat.

If you own a 4 week (1/12th) share, our scheme will allow you to use your boat for 2 weeks together (3 weeks for a 6 week (1/8th) share and 4 weeks for an 8 week (1/6th) share) without having to swap weeks with your co-owners.

We can talk you through your choices

If you don’t fully understand the allocation system after reading this, don’t worry. The system is actually quite simple, but like most things, it’s easier to explain verbally than in writing!

Please just ring us on 01270 760 770 and we’ll happily talk you through it. We’ll even ring you back if you want!

Main Holiday Choices

The calendar below shows the colour allocated to each week of 2022, with each week starting on a Saturday. The actual week commencing (the turn-around or change-over) day may vary depending upon which marina the boat is based at. The number and seasonality of the “Red”, “Yellow” and “Blue” weeks will be the same each and every year.

And if you own a 4 week (1/12th) share, you will be able to cruise for three weeks in the season every year, guaranteed plus you will also have the use of one winter week!

Based upon the 2022 calendar, with the co-owner changeover day being a Saturday, the weeks designated as “Red”, “Yellow” and “Blue” are:
