Four companies plus
The Autumn Boat Share Show at Overwater Marina next weekend (3-4 Sept) will offer the opportunity to talk to four different management companies about the benefits of shared ownership.
It will also give the chance to talk to owners of a self managed boat.
The four companies are BCBM, Carefree Cruising, J D Boat Services and Ownashare Cruising. All of them have shares on offer - and those in boats at the Show are listed here. The full list of shares currently available is here.
The self-managed boat at the Show is Water Jester and some of her owners will be there to talk about how the syndicate works and how it manages the boat.
Around 2,500 families enjoy taking several weeks each year holidaying on their own boat as a result of owning a share - and at less cost than hiring. The Boat Share Show is the ideal place to find out how it works - and maybe become one of those families.

It's no joke...
There will be a Water Jester at the Autumn Boat Share Show at Overwater on 3rd & 4th September - she's 60ft long, has a semi-trad stern and was launched in 1992. Shares - each offering 1/8th of the boat - are on offer for £2,500.
Water Jester is a self-managed shared ownership boat, so the owners take responsibility for the management. Major decisions are made at the AGM during the winter.
Owners agree on four weeks of allocated time on the boat - 2 in high season and 1 outside the peak holiday period and 1 from any of the weeks not already chosen, which is decided at the AGM. The remaining weeks are available for owners by agreement and at a cost to cover the additional running.
Visitors to the Show will be able to get on board, view the boat and talk to the owners about how their syndicate works.
Water Jester brings the number of boats to see at the Show up to 10, offering a wide range of styles, ages, share prices and management arrangements.

Water nymph at Overwater?
We don't know whether narrowboat Lilaea was named after the water nymph from Greek mythology - but we do know this 58ft semi trad boat will be at the Autumn Boat Share Show at Overwater Marina on 3rd & 4th September.
Commissioned specifically for shared ownership by Carefree Cruising, Lilaea was launched at the Braunston Boat Share Show in 2015. She's a 6 berth boat with a red (high season) school holiday share available at £8,000.

You don't have to be Jeremy Fisher...
You don't have to be Beatrix Potter's famous fishing frog, Jeremy Fisher to enjoy sitting on a water lily.
You could get one of the three available shares in the narrowboat Water Lily. She's a 58ft semi-trad boat built in 2005 and is managed for her syndicate of owners by Carefree Cruising. And she will be at the Autumn Boat Share Show at Overwater on 3rd & 4th September, so you can get on board and talk to existing owners.
There are currently two 1/12th red (high season) shares on offer. One is a 'school holiday' share offered at £2,500 and the other is available for £2,300. The third share is a 1/24th yellow (low season) share offered at a special price of just £750.

Quantum of Solace
Yes, it's a Bond film, but literally means 'How much of Solace.'
And, if you're talking about the narrowboat Solace, then the answer to how much of her you get when you buy a share is 1/12th of a 58ft semi-trad boat built in 2013 for shared ownership under the management of Carefree Cruising.
If you want a high season (red) share, then the answer to 'how much will it cost?' is £6,500. If you're happy to take your holiday on your own boat out of season, then the cost of a low season (yellow) share is currently at a special price of £2,000.
If you come to the Autumn Boat Share Show - in conjunction with the RNLI Festival - at Overwater Marina on 3rd & 4th September, then you can get on board Solace and talk to existing share owners.
You can also view other boats and talk to the management companies about how shared ownership enables 2,500 families to enjoy 4 weeks holiday on their own boat each year for less than the cost of hiring.

Adderbury isn't just a village
Adderbury isn't just a village near the South Oxford Canal.
Adderbury is also the name of a 58ft semi-trad shared ownership narrowboat built in 2001 and now managed for it's owners by BCBM.
She will be on view at the Autumn Boat Share Show at Overwater Marina on 3rd & 4th September, where you will be able to get on board and talk to existing owners. Two 1/11th shares in Adderbury are on offer for £2,400 and £2,000.
She is one of the later boats built specifically for shared ownership by Ownerships and named after villages near to canals and rivers. Ownerships ceased trading in 2010, but prior to that built around 100 boats for shared ownership. The earlier ones had names beginning with S or O.
