“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

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
