3-4 Owner Arrangement (Self-Managed)
Want Lagoon ownership without the full costs? We're forming a private, owner-run syndicate for a 2018-2020 Lagoon 42, based in Manly Harbour, QLD with a seasonal relocation to the Whitsundays each year.
Lagoon 42 (2017-2020 model year)
- Spacious 4 cabin, 4 head layout or the Owner's Version (3 cabins + larger owner's suite) - to be chosen by group consensus
- Well-equipped for coastal cruising
- Final purchase to be agreed by all syndicate members
Ownership & Costs
- 3-4 equal owners, depending on interest and usage needs
- Buy-in cost per share: approx. $200K-$250K
- A working float fund will be established at the time of purchase to cover initial running costs and maintenance reserves
- All ongoing costs split equally between owners
- Approximate monthly cost
* 3 owners: ~$1,150-$1,350/month each
* 4 owners: ~$900-$1050/month each
- This covers insurance, marina, maintenance, antifoul, detailing, and a Whitsundays delivery trip each year. A float fund is established at purchase to ensure smooth operation and cover reserves.
Self-managed syndicate - no management company fees
- Full cost transparency: insurance, marina, maintenance, and reserves shared openly
Management & Experience
