For many Utah families, summer means one thing: Lake days.
Coolers packed. Towels ready. Kids calling dibs on surfing order.
But anyone who has owned a boat knows the reality of lake days can include a lot more work than expected.
Towing the boat, waiting in launch lines, scrubbing it clean afterward, and hauling it home – and that's before even considering the price tag of a modern wakeboat.
A Utah-based company called WakeShare is trying to change that.
By combining fractional ownership with managed marina services, WakeShare removes the obstacles that keep families from owning their dream boat – and using it often.
A private slip waiting for you
WakeShare partners with marinas like Salt Coast at Jordanelle Reservoir and Antelope Point at Lake Powell to ensure that each boat comes with a slip.
No towing. No launch lines. Just step onto your luxury wakeboat and head out on the water with your friends or family.
Hassle-free boating
The marinas even handle the cleaning after each use. Time spent scrubbing and hauling? Now it's spent on the lake – or grabbing dinner on the way home.
Other hassles that WakeShare takes care of include:
- Fuel — boat is full of fuel prior to each trip.
- Gear — each boat is equipped with watersports gear.
- Maintenance — marina mechanics handle prevention and repairs.
- Grab and go — personnel will have the boat trailered for transport to another lake.
- Winterization — during off season, boat will be stored in enclosed storage.
- Captain services — a captain will maximize your time surfing the wake.
- Ownership – not just a club or membership.
This isn't a timeshare. This is equity. Typically each boat includes four owners total, meaning each family owns 1/4 of the boat.
This fractional ownership approach spreads the purchase price and operating costs and makes luxury attainable.
Owners are guaranteed weekly access, and extra days can be scheduled easily through WakeShare's app.
Today's high-end wakeboats can cost $300,000 to $500,000 or more, putting ownership out of reach for many families.
WakeShare removes this barrier so owners can focus on fun.
In many cases, cost of ownership is less than $10,000 a year.
High-end options for every family
Given that WakeShare's parent company is Sunrise Peak Houseboats, WakeShare knows how to select the best options for its customers.
Sunrise Peak is the leading shared ownership company at Lake Powell, with 37 years and over 175 houseboats and wakeboats worth of experience.
As a result, WakeShare prioritizes high design and professional management. By partnering with premium manufacturers, here are some options:
- MasterCraft Xstar.
- Super Air Nautique G23.
- Super Air Nautique G25.
- Super Air Nautique G25 Paragon.
How to secure your dream boat
For many families, the dream of owning a wakeboat isn't really about the boat itself. It's about the experiences: Kids learning to surf, friends tubing across the wake, and evenings cruising the lake.
WakeShare's goal? To help families spend their time making those memories instead of doing more chores.
