Skip the ownership headache.
Bypass charter negotiations.
There had to be a better way to be on the water.
Artizia Yachts is the way we built for ourselves. One 68-foot Galeon 640 Fly. A small roster of founding members. One monthly rate that covers everything — captain, crew, bartender, food, fuel, dockage.
No six-figure slip fees. No crew payroll. No 2 a.m. calls about a bilge pump. You show up, we hand you a cold drink, and the boat is already running.
The Galeon 640 Fly. 68 feet of flybridge.

See how it worksYou already know what ownership costs.
A 68-foot Galeon comparable to ours lists at roughly $3–4M, with $350,000–$600,000 a year in slip, crew, insurance, fuel and maintenance — about 10–15% of the purchase price. Most owners use their boat fewer than 30 days a year. An Artizia Executive membership delivers the same yacht, on the same water, for $100,000 one-time plus $84,000 a year — with every cost included.
Four Executive. Six VIP. Eight Platinum.
Most yacht clubs grow until the wait on a Saturday is an hour. We cap membership instead — eighteen seats, period — so the boat is there when you want it, and the people on it are the people you want to share it with.
No deposits taken yet — all eighteen founding seats are open.
People who've tried the other options, first.
As a business owner having the convenience and privacy of a yacht without owning one that sits unused most of the time is worth this amazing business model.
Owning a yacht never made sense financially. I've always chartered yachts, but it ends up being really expensive. This membership is half the cost I typically pay and a much more luxurious charter.
I've talked with over 20 boat clubs and nothing has come close to being a real alternative to owning a yacht except Artizia Yachts. Membership is cost-effective and caters to my needs.
What members ask before joining.
- How much does an Artizia Yachts membership cost?
- Executive membership is a one-time $100,000 initiation plus $7,000 per month for 80 charter hours per year. VIP is $30,000 initiation plus $4,000 per month for 32 hours. Platinum is $15,000 initiation plus $1,000 per month for 8 hours. All tiers are fully all-inclusive — captain, crew, food, bar, fuel, and dockage are included.
- How does yacht membership compare to owning a yacht?
- A new 68-foot yacht comparable to the Galeon 640 Fly costs approximately $3–4M up front plus $350,000–$600,000 a year to run with a crew — about 10–15% of the purchase price. An Artizia Executive membership delivers equivalent on-water experience for $184,000 in year one and $84,000 per year thereafter, all-inclusive, with no capital outlay and no maintenance responsibilities.
- Why is membership limited to 18 seats?
- One yacht per location, capped at 18 founding members — 4 Executive, 6 VIP, 8 Platinum. The cap is what makes availability real: most yacht clubs oversell, and the wait on a weekend is an hour. At Artizia the boat is there when you want it. No deposits have been taken yet, so every seat for the 2027 San Diego season is open.
- Where will Artizia Yachts operate, and when does it launch?
- Artizia Yachts is launching in San Diego for the 2027 season and is building its founding interest list now. Members will board in Point Loma on San Diego Bay. Kona Kai Marina on Shelter Island is our planned home port; the final slip is confirmed before launch. After San Diego, Newport Beach is planned for 2027, Marina del Rey, Miami and Tampa Bay for 2028, and Boston for 2029.
- How does booking work?
- Members will book through the Artizia Yachts app. Daily timeslots are 10am–2pm and 4pm–8pm. Executive members book up to 12 months in advance, VIP up to 6 months, and Platinum up to 4 months. Multi-day charters receive a 25% discount on hours used.
- What is actually included?
- Every charter will include a USCG-licensed captain, deckhand, bartender, catered food, full bar, fuel, dockage, port fees, and an Artizia Yachts concierge who handles requests and remembers your preferences. There will be no hourly surcharges, tabs, tips, or fuel fees.
The perk your C-suite actually uses.
Membership doubles as a company asset. Host a prospect offsite, reward a top performer, close a board retreat at 26 knots, or give an executive a real week off with family — all without the six-figure capex of a yacht on your balance sheet.
Host VIPs underway.
Close the quarter on the water. Private, catered, 12 aboard — the meeting room competitors can't book.
A benefit they'll use.
Give your C-suite a yacht for the weekend. Family aboard, captain at the helm, zero logistics on their end.
One-day full buyout.
Block both slots for a day; Catalina and back. Bar open, chef aboard, no side conversations about parking.
Close, launch, announce.
Sunset cruise for the team that shipped. Up to 18 at the dock for announcements, 12 underway for the ride.
