Buying Fractional Ownership, Resort Real Estate & Timeshares

Typically, resort accommodation is thought of in terms of land-based locations and amenities, but writes Sarah Lee, Club La Costa is making waves with its latest luxury lifestyle innovation

How many of us dream of living a millionaire lifestyle, sailing from coast to coast aboard a luxury yacht? The mere idea of setting sail for a week or two seems a wonderful indulgence, but the costs of owning, maintaining and
mooring a yacht are prohibitively expensive for the majority of us dreamers.

Not anymore however. Timeshare giant, Club La Costa, is making the dream of a life of luxury afloat a reality with its
latest development.

The Club La Costa Yacht Club offers its members the chance to enjoy the wonderful world of yachting – without the responsibilities or price tag that come with whole ownership. A 12-year club membership – available on five different levels ranging from a Sailing Week in one cabin every other year, to fourcabins or the whole yacht every year – gives members the best opportunity to experience the romance and adventure of being yacht owners for as little or as long a sailing period as they want.

Because the Club La Costa Yacht Club is affiliated to RCI, its members can choose to become RCI members which will enable them to trade in their sea legs for an exchange holiday at one of the 4,000 resorts worldwide which are affiliated to RCI and offer the greatest diversity of properties, destinations and exciting holiday experiences.
Delivering a truly luxurious lifestyle, together with a quality service, the Club la Costa Yacht Club makes an expertly-crewed fleet of 60-foot custom-fitted, fully air-conditioned catamarans with four en-suite double cabins
available to its members. The catamaran’s salons include a dining area for ten people, a lounge with plasma screen televisions and DVD players and of course a chart table. The yachts also feature large, comfortable cockpits, an outdoor dining area for ten, well-stocked bars, a sunbathing deck and an outdoor freshwater shower. Your crew
will include your own personal chef and, as co-owner, you set the course and tell the crew which ports of call you want to visit along the way.

The vessels take advantage of summer and winter-sun opportunities, sailing out of ports in Turkey and the Red Sea along some of the most beautiful beaches. Never short of things to enjoy, club members can explore hidden coves, or relax gazing up at the billowing white sails, dreaming up the day’s itinerary or lending the crew a hand before dropping anchor to slip off into a sleek marina for cocktails or onto a deserted beach for a barbeque under the stars.

The yachts offer an all-inclusive package covering food, drinks, linen, towels and onboard equipment. So aside from sailing to a host of beautiful locations, the professional crew will also cook and serve you from a delicious menu of meals, snacks and drinks. You will also be able to set the course and decide which ports of call you wish to visit
during the sail.

Water sports available include free scubadiving, snorkelling, water-skiing, wakeboarding, deep-sea fishing, sea kayaking and windsurfing for experienced windsurfers. But if that feels like far too much effort and you just want to kick back and relax, the catamarans have hammocks and floating foam mattresses where you can read a book or watch the world float by.
