Boat and yacht share club

Enjoy flexible, hassle free boating in a friendly and supportive environment

Pure Latitude is an established and popular boat share club based in Hamble, on the Solent. Club membership is tailored to fit your lifestyle and provides regular access to our fleet of motorboats and sailing yachts across a range of stunning locations.

Our friendly team also provides knowledgeable support, RYA training and an exciting programme of events throughout the year.

Whether you want to get straight out on the water, level up your skills, or just want to have some fun, we’re the perfect boat club for you.

How the boat club works

“The boats are immaculate, membership is flexible and the events offer incredible value… We didn’t want the hassle of owning our own boat or the substantial running costs so joining Pure Latitude boat share was a no-brainer”

Mandy, member since 2011

Our boat & yacht share fleet includes sail and motor boats, ready when you are

Our sail and motor fleet includes more than twenty boats from some of the world’s top boating brands including Dufour, Hanse, Beneteau, Jeanneau and Fairline.

Enjoy the additional option to try new boats through our social events, training and racing programmes, or by booking one of our supplementary fleet.

How does Pure Latitude work?

1. Get points when you join – some plans offer more points.

2. Choose how to spend your points – weekends and bigger boats require more points.

3. Book – months in advance or a day in advance. It’s up to you.

“The constraints of my job often prevent me from planning time off in advance but luckily the system caters for last-minute decisions so, if work allows and the weather is looking great, I can book a boat, leave my office that evening and be on board within two hours”

Mike, member since 2014
