| Booking system | Each share has a priority place in the booking chart for that year, and moves up a couple of places each year: after a year at the top of the list, the owner then starts at the bottom, and after six years the cycle begins again. (N.B..shares move up the chart in pairs reversing their order each year) Each owner can choose two weeks (separately or as a fortnight) in the ‘high season’ (Easter to October inclusive), and one week in the remainder of the year. By this route, thirty-six weeks are firmly booked in this priority order with each owner having three weeks. After allowing for two or three maintenance weeks, the remaining weeks are then available for each share to choose a single week with priority being in reverse order to the original booking, so having last choice originally does have its compensations. The booking chart is then confirmed at the owners’ annual meeting with any remaining weeks that are available being decided at this meeting. |
| Priority for school holidays | One share has 'Special status' and always choose its 3 weeks first in return for an enhanced monthly contribution to running costs. There is capacity for a second such share for someone who needs to have school holidays (Correct 2026) |

General comments by vendor
At the end of each cruise, owners are responsible for ensuring toilets are pumped out and that diesel, water & gas are replenished ready for the next owners.
The costs of diesel & pumpouts are not included in the monthly running costs charge,
The boat has an exceptionally hard-working team of owners who constantly endeavour to make Whiston one of the smartest and comfortable boats on the system.
We all take a pride in Whiston and look after her well.
We have active Chairman Treasurer and Secretary, and engineering and maintenance leads among us.
An owners’ website provides comprehensive information on the details of using Whiston and any equipment.
Maintenance weeks are booked as needed and general engine services usually happen during changeover times.
We currently do our own cleaning and pump outs before handing over to the next owner. Valet cleaning can however be arranged if required.
Whiston was re-painted in early 2022 and the windows replaced with double-glazed units, which has made a huge difference to noise levels and heat retention.
A hull survey was also commissioned in 2025 which showed the hull to be sound. The report can be made available to prospective purchasers if required.
