How Does a Fractional Boating Membership Work?
You as a “Member” will select a particular boat to operate, based on size, price, and availability. You will use the same boat every time as if it were your own. In fact, many members refer to their assigned boat as “my boat,” which means they are familiar with it and take better care of it than they might in a typical bareboat charter arrangement.
SailTime membership is easy, hassle-free, and much less expensive than boat ownership!
Guaranteed Sailing
SailTime offers guaranteed access to your boat every month. You can make reservations online up to one year in advance and can book additional free “as-available” sail times using your smartphone. “Classic” SailTime memberships allow a minimum of 7 sail times per month and can get additional free sail times when reservations are made within 36 hours of the start time. “Lite” memberships get 3 sail times per month and “Premium” memberships get 14 sail times per month. Premium members can take the boat for up to 7 continuous days and nights. With SailTime PLUS, members can rent boats at other SailTime locations at a mere fraction of the cost of regular bareboat chartering.
Seasonal (Annual) Memberships
SailTime Philadelphia is open April through November, for a full season of sailing.
Member agreements are structured as annual contracts, allowing you to join anytime during the season and still be ale to get a full season of sailing.
Paying for a full season up front enables significant discounts!

Membership Options
To skipper the boat on your own:
- Classic membership guarantees 7 sessions each month – plus unlimited “as available” time

Or if you’d prefer to gain some time as crew to gain additional experience and skill, while also sailing for fun under the guidance of a licensed USCG Captain/Instructor, our CrewTime option might be a good fit for you!
