World-class instructors. World-class sailing. 🌎⛵

At SailTime Houston, our ASA instructors don’t just teach sailing—they live it.

Here’s Captain Dale Stokes leading an ASA 101 Basic Keelboat course in stunning Sardinia, Italy.

“In an ASA 101 Basic Keelboat course here in Sardinia, Italy, I teach every foundational skill against a backdrop of crystal-clear turquoise coves and dramatic granite coastlines. Sardinia’s waters are among the most spectacular classrooms in the world—ancient sea trade routes, hidden coves accessible only by boat, and the steady Mediterranean breeze that has shaped sailors for centuries.”

Whether you’re learning on Galveston Bay or sailing halfway around the world, you’re learning from instructors with real experience, global perspective, and a passion for helping new sailors gain confidence at the helm.

What does it actually cost to own a 40-foot performance sailing yacht in the SailTime Houston fleet?
Hanse 410 — 2026 numbers:
📊 Annual gross membership revenue: $104,720

📊 SailTime covers (slip, insurance, maintenance): $32,758/year

📊 Annual cash payments to owner: $35,981

📊 Annual loan payments (20% down, 6.49%, 20yr): $40,440

📊 Net annual carrying cost: $4,459
Purchase price: $575,074. Down payment: $115,015.
For context: the average boat owner in the U.S. spends $5,000–$10,000 per year in net costs on a vessel a fraction of this size — with no income, no professional management, and no tax structure.
These numbers reflect a real-world membership model, including months where the revenue share runs below the loan payment and the owner covers the gap. It's a business — with real risk and real reward.
Full pro forma available at the link below. We'll also build one specific to your financing situation at no cost.

If you've owned a boat before, you know the drill. The phone call at 6am about a bilge pump. The marina bill that arrives the same month as the engine service. The insurance renewal. The bottom paint. The running rigging that lets go at the worst possible time. The fact that your "boat days" somehow always include hours of something that isn't sailing.
Our Owner-Member Program is built specifically for people who have been through that — and want the yacht without the job.
Here is what SailTime Houston handles when your boat is in our fleet:

✓ Marina slip at Watergate Yachting Center, Kemah

✓ Full hull and liability insurance coordination

✓ Professional cleaning and detailing after every member use

✓ Scheduled engine service and systems maintenance

✓ Member screening, vetting, training, and ongoing management

✓ All scheduling through the Embark platform

✓ Monthly accounting statement and revenue share payment by the 15th
You own the boat. You sail it 14 times a month as a Premier member — no monthly fee. You receive a check. We do the rest.
On our Hanse 410, owner-members receive roughly $35,981 annually in revenue share. Net annual carrying cost above the loan payment: under $5,000.
