Niranga started his yacht-share journey three or four years ago with another management team. After speaking with Piers and comparing the boats, service and overall offering, the decision was made to move across to Neptune. For Niranga, the combination of immaculate boats, straightforward communication and the simplicity of yacht share has created a more enjoyable way to spend time on the water.
For Niranga, the experience begins with the quality of the boats and the people behind them. Piers’ communication and honesty were important factors in the decision to move across, while the boats themselves made an immediate impression.
The Riviera 5000 offers a practical option for younger families wanting to enjoy the boating lifestyle without taking on the full cost of ownership.
Through yacht share, the cost is reduced significantly depending on the percentage owned, while still providing access to a professionally managed boat.

One of the biggest differences for Niranga is how simple everything becomes. With a privately owned boat, there is cleaning, linen, maintenance, refuelling, water and a long list of other tasks to organise.
With Neptune, the boat is ready every time they arrive. Everything is clean, maintained and kept in tip-top order, giving Niranga confidence that the boat has been thoroughly looked after between visits.
After using the boat, the process is just as simple. Strip the beds, take the rubbish and leave the rest to the team.

The Riviera 5000 gives Niranga and his family access to the boating lifestyle while keeping the responsibilities of ownership manageable.
The appeal is particularly clear for younger families who want to bring the kids along and enjoy the time together without taking on the full financial commitment of owning a boat outright.
The yacht-share model reduces the cost significantly, while Neptune takes care of the maintenance, servicing, cleaning and preparation.
It means more time enjoying the boat, and less time organising it.
Traditional yacht ownership can come with a long list of responsibilities.
Neptune Oceanic's model is designed to take those responsibilities away from the owner's experience so that arriving at the marina can mean exactly that arriving to enjoy the yacht.
