Liberty Pass is an unlimited subscription that gives you access to a fleet of boats with no investment, so you can sail all year round, without the constraints of traditional ownership and rental.
All included (except fuel):
And since the number of subscribers is limited to 6 per boat, and you have a reservation token system, you're guaranteed to have a boat available!
To achieve this, we've put in place a number of rules and tricks.
First of all, we limit the number of unlimited subscribers to 6, and almost all our boats are available all year round (excluding annual maintenance). Depending on the zone, this represents between 600 and 900 available slots to share per year.
Secondly, thanks to our technology, boats can be booked by the hour. It is therefore possible for several subscribers to use the same time slot. For example, a fisherman may decide to go out from 5am to 9am, and the boat will be available from 9:30am for another subscriber for the rest of the morning. This multiplies the number of slots available to subscribers, and it's not unusual for our boats to be out 3 or 4 times a day with different subscribers.
Finally, we've introduced a token policy, to limit the number of slots blocked by a subscriber, so that other subscribers always have the chance to join the schedule. For example, if you have 2 tokens available with your subscription, you can reserve 2 slots that often correspond to 2 ½ days. You can therefore reserve 2 ½ days on different dates, or 1 full day.
You collect your token at the start of the outing and can book your next outing for the following days if the boat is available.
This technique, which has been tried and tested over the past 3 years, ensures smooth scheduling and equal access to the boat for all, and in no way limits the number of outings possible per subscriber.
The token system is a very fair system for each member of a boat. It allows each subscriber to block reservation slots.
The fact that tokens are limited in number for each subscriber guarantees availability at all times. E.g.: like the other members, you have 2 reservation tokens. If there are 6 members on the boat, you can have up to 12 slots blocked on the schedule, but no more, because as long as your tokens have not been used up, it is not possible to place others. The same applies to other subscribers.
The mobile app only reallocates tokens once you've used up your outing. This system guarantees fairness for every member! And there's no possibility of abuse of reservations by one member or another.
No, it is not possible to pay the advertised monthly subscription rate. The monthly rate is valid for a full year. This is a payment option that requires a minimum 12-month commitment.
No, for legal and mainly insurance reasons, the contract is nominative.
The boat captain is responsible for the boat under the contract, and must be on board for every trip. However, you can take as many people (friends or family) as the boat's capacity allows.
There is a maximum of 6 Liberty Pass subscribers per boat. Exceptional cases, à la carte, can optimize the use of the boat.
