Aequa Fractional Offers Low Upfront Investment with Maximum Enjoyment
Programs starting at just 6.25% Down
Program Overview
Aequa is all about getting you into the yacht of your dreams at an affordable price. The way it works is: instead paying for an entire yacht, or even a share of a yacht, Aequa finances‡ 50% of the cost of each share with a one-time settlement at the end of the program. Remaining equity is returned to the owners or reinvested.
No monthly finance payments.
You only pay your initial investment and your share of operational costs.
Depending the boat and program, a boat will have 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 shares.
