A boat for €200/month? It's possible!

Launched in May 2020, the success of Liberty Pass is colossal, with over 40 boats already available in France. It's only natural that with LibertyPass, 4 days of seasonal rental is equivalent to 1 year's use of a boat, with no additional costs. Go for it! To find out more about Liberty Pass by Nauticoncept, read on...

The end of the frustrated boater's blues

The sea, the open sea, makes you dream. Every summer, it's the same old story: "I'd love to buy a boat". Tired of never-available rentals, exorbitant rates and time constraints, chilled by the cost of acquiring a boat, frozen by maintenance costs, icy by port fees and taxes, every year, like Oblomov the Russian hero of the eponymous novel, you put off acquiring the unit of your dreams until next year... and then the year after that. And then the year after that. It's been 10 years now.

And the following year! "Rebelote Charlotte". Back to the beach! Head for the sables d'or beach, its delightful parking lot, its parasols, its farandole of dubious inflatables, its garbage cans full of kebabs, and then, and then... Your eternal German neighbors and their cool box, who ask you every summer "comen fon les annfan ce année? ". Then you'll look at the open boats, the offshore skiers, the yachts.... You'll be envious of the lucky people you'll see leaving around 5:00 pm on their boat, rosé under their arm, for an aperitif in the calanques. It's true that in summer, you look better on a boat (that almost makes a song).

And then this summer, a bonus gift: "Mum" isn't going to miss you: "Stop dreaming, every year it's the same. And you should start by getting your driver's license... "

STOP !!! STOP!!! STOP!!!
This is the last time! This is the last year! Because, 3 lines down, you're about to discover LibertyPass by Nauticoncept. The boat without the drawbacks, ownership without the costs... If you're still with us, you're ripe for the next step. Liberty Pass is made for you. 

Three days' rental = 1 year's use!

It's Liberty Pass by Nauticoncept, jump on it! Okay, let's take it down a notch, let's get serious again. Very serious... You've got 200 euros a month to put into a boat. 200 euros to go boating all year round, whenever you want, as often as you want. That's the Liberty Pass by NautiConcept concept. On the face of it, there's not much more to it than that.

How does the Liberty Pass work?

Liberty Pass by Nauticoncept works like a boat club. You are a member of a club. Like all club members, you pay a monthly fee. This corresponds to unlimited use of a boat model. The fee is based on a standard rate set by Nauticoncept and adjusted by the dealer according to the models available to you. 

For example, Christophe Rolles, manager of Passion Boat, a dealer in Mandelieu, starts at 149 euros per month for a Cap Camarat 655: "For this price, members of the Passion Boat Club in Mandelieu can reserve a boat all year round, as many times as they like, with no limit. 

Boat club members reserve their time slot each time they wish to rent via an application designed and developed by Nauticoncept. The boat is automatically reserved for them. Members check in their boats themselves. They use it as much as they like. Once back in port, they check out via their smartphone and the app, then deposit the boat keys in the concession's mailbox. 

Use a boat for 15 days at the height of the season, with Liberty Pass, it's possible!

There's just one obligation: to take care of the boats and pay your membership dues.


Some partners even let you choose your model according to your activity (wakeboarding, fishing, taking advantage of a good deal with friends). Others, like Christophe Rolles of Passion Boat, go even further: "With Liberty Pass, we can create the right offer for each customer. A customer wants to use a boat for two months, or even 15 days in high season? No stress! His fee is smoothed out over the year, and he can use my fleet freely for the summer if he wants to. The customer is free, and so am I". 

The member's only obligation is to pay an annual deposit, keep up to date with membership fees and return the boat in the same condition and with a full tank, but with no time constraints.

1 year of use = 3 days of standard rentals


Do the math! If you rent a boat for 15 days during the Mediterranean high season, you'll pay around 500 euros / day, or 7500 euros per year. With Nauticoncept, you pay over 12 months, but the overall cost comes to 1,800 euros, or a little more than 3 days' rental. You can be sure of being able to sail whenever you want. And you can enjoy a relaxing weekend at sea whenever you like.

LibertyPass, 100% digital passion for boating

- The shift from ownership to use. 

The 21st century yachtsman, like his cousin the motorist, only wants to pay for the use of the asset, and wants to free himself from the constraints of ownership. But the particularity of a boat is its cost, and this is nothing new: a boat is very expensive! Last but not least, the costs inherent in owning a boat - port taxes, upkeep and maintenance - are prohibitive.

- Helping dealers diversify their revenues 

In this context, boaters are likely to sell fewer boats, and they need to adapt to this new situation. Romuald Poirot, co-founder of NautiConcept, confirms: "Dealers have fleets under management; they can indeed rent them out, but that's not their business. Christophe Rolles agrees: "Rental is not our business, and we don't have the necessary spanners for check-in-check-out. We have to maintain the boats we manage. Finally, we don't have enough boats to hire the staff needed for rental logistics. Nauticoncept's digital solution was the answer".

Liberty Pass: 400 boats available to our members.

Launched in May 2020, LibertyPass by NautiConcept has attracted nearly 40 partner dealerships, representing over 400 boats available to our members. "We plan to sign 100 partnerships in France, making 1,500 boats available by the summer," says Romuald Poirot, co-founder of NautiConcept. "We've already signed partnerships in Malta, Switzerland, Italy and Spain, and that's just the beginning.
