I dream of owning a boat... but I can't.
“I dream of owning a boat... but I can't.”
Many people say this without even realizing it. Sometimes out loud, sometimes just in their heads, while looking out at the sea from a terrace, a harbor, or from the comfort of their sofa.
The boat is a powerful symbol.
Freedom. Silence. Time slowing down. The possibility of leaving whenever you want, without schedules, without crowds, without constraints. And yet, this dream almost always ends up being filed away in the same category: "not for me.".
Too expensive. Too complicated. Too demanding.
So we just watch others set sail... telling ourselves it's just a dream.
What if the problem wasn't the boat?
What if the real obstacle was the way we still think about access to boating?
The dream of a boat is not a whim
Dreaming of a boat is not trivial.
It is not a matter of prestige or a demonstration of success. It is a deeper need: the need for space, for breath, and to reconnect with what is essential.
For many people, boats represent:
- a breakaway from the professional rhythm,
- a place where you regain control of your time,
- a simple pleasure, far from noise and screens.
It's not just about sailing.
It's about allowing yourself to disappear for a few hours, without justification.
So why is this dream so often abandoned?
Why owning a boat is intimidating
As soon as we talk about boats, one image springs to mind: that of the overwhelmed owner.
Bills, maintenance, mooring fees, weather, insurance, unexpected breakdowns.
In the collective imagination, owning a boat means:
- a heavy investment,
- a multi-year commitment,
- a constant mental burden.
And above all, one nagging question:
"Will I really use it enough to make it worth it?"
Many give up here. Not because they don't like the sea, but because they don't want to add yet another constraint to an already busy life.
The turning point: what if the dream wasn't about owning property?
At some point, something changes.
We realize that what we really want is not to own a boat.
It is:
- get on board whenever you feel like it,
- sail without worrying about anything else,
- travel light, without thinking about the future.
Just like other modern uses:
- you no longer necessarily own your music,
- people no longer automatically buy their cars,
- We prioritize usage over cost.
Why should the boat be any different?
Unlimited boating, without restrictions: a different reality
Today, it is possible to sail regularly without:
- buy a boat,
- manage maintenance,
- make a long-term commitment.
The principle is simple: a boat subscription, designed for those who want to enjoy the sea without the hassle.
You arrive.
The boat is ready.
You set sail.
You depart.
No paperwork. No profitability calculations. No stress.
The dream remains intact because it is no longer weighed down by logistics.
€199 per month: restoring the dream to its true value
€199 per month.
Put like that, the figure is surprising.
And yet, how much do we spend each month on:
- rarely used leisure activities,
- forgotten subscriptions,
- pleasures that provide only temporary satisfaction?
Here, we are talking about unlimited access to the sea.
A space of freedom.
Discreet luxury, but deeply rejuvenating.
True luxury is no longer about owning things.
It's about being able to enjoy it whenever you want, without weighing down your life.
The boat as we imagined it as children
When we were children, the boat wasn't an Excel spreadsheet.
It was a game. An adventure. A promise.
Share a moment with loved ones.
Invite friends. Set off without a specific plan. Stop whenever you want.
Rediscovering that pleasure, without the complexity of adulthood, changes everything.
Boating becomes what it always should have been: a simple pleasure.
Why this model is so appealing today
This model particularly appeals to those who:
- are committed to realizing their dream,
- know what they no longer want,
- seek freedom, not constraints.
Those who have understood that time is more valuable than possessions.
And that happiness is often found in access, not in accumulation.
True luxury: saying "yes" to the present moment
Today, true luxury is not owning a boat that requires year-round maintenance.
It is being able to decide, on a whim, to go out to sea.
Without justification.
Without pressure.
Without regret.
This is exactly the philosophy behind Liberty Pass:
simply restore access to the sea.
“I dream of owning a boat… but I can’t.”
In reality, this sentence needs to be corrected.
It's not that you can't.
It's just that you hadn't yet considered the right way to do it.
Boating is no longer an unattainable dream.
It is a modern, free, and confident choice.
