The fractional ownership program has up to four different owners who decide among themselves when they will use the boat. When not in use, the boat is berthed at Watergate Marina. Space is also available on White Bear Lake for boats 20 to 26 feet. Other ancillary costs accrue from time to time, and are divided equally among the owners. Available new boat sizes range from 22 to 53 feet. Cruise up and down the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers. Call Jason at 651695-3780 for more details. ■ Fractional yacht ownership programs now available Watergate Marina is now offering fractional yacht ownership programs. The program allows people to maximize their boating dollars, since most boats sit in marinas and are used only part of the time.
