Rent to own progam
YOUR PATH TO OWNERSHIP ONE MONTH AT A TIME
A flexible path to making Villa Vie your permanent home at sea
Enjoy the freedom of a flexible monthly rental while building credits toward future ownership
With rates starting from only $2,999, the Rent-to-Own Program makes living at sea more accessible than ever.
How it works
Step 1:Choose Your Villa
Select from available Inside or Porthole, and begin with a flexible monthly rental.
Step 2:Build Ownership Credits
Each month, a portion of your rent (starting at $500) is automatically credited toward your future villa purchase.
Step 3:Secure Today’s Price
Your villa’s price is locked in from the start, so even if rates increase, your contract remains the same.
Step 4:Convert When You’re Ready
There’s no pressure. Your credits never expire, and you can upgrade to a larger villa or convert to ownership whenever the timing feels right.
“Every journey reshapes us. The sea carries us forward, reminding us that the world is too beautiful and too vast to stay in one place.”

Rent to own - faq
How much of my rental payments apply toward ownership?
A portion of your rental payments is credited toward ownership, starting at $500 per villa. You may apply additional amounts toward ownership if you choose.
Is there a maximum credit I can earn?
No, there is no maximum. The minimum credit is $500, and you can apply more toward ownership at any time.
What is the timeframe I have to convert to ownership?
There is no timeframe or time limit — you can convert whenever you are ready.
Do my credits expire if I don’t buy within that period?
No, credits do not expire.
What happens if cabin prices increase before I decide to buy? Am I locked into today’s price?
Yes, you are locked into the price stated in your signed contract.
Can I choose any cabin when I convert, or only the one I rented?
You are guaranteed a cabin type, and Villa Vie will make every effort to accommodate your preferred specific cabin within that type.
Do credits apply if I upgrade to a larger villa?
Yes, your credits can be applied toward an upgrade.
What’s the minimum deposit required for Sail Toward Ownership?
Three months’ rent is due upon signing the contract.
If I don’t end up buying, do I lose all the credits?
The credits are only applicable toward a purchase of a villa or Endless Horizons/Golden Passport and do not expire.
Is there an administrative fee or premium for being in this program?
No, there are no administrative fees to participate in this program.
Are credits transferable to another person (friend/family)?
No, credits are non-transferable.
How do maintenance fees work once I convert? Do I start paying immediately at full price?
Your maintenance fees begin once your cabin is fully paid. At that point, your monthly fees are locked in, and you start enjoying full ownership benefits, including your specific cabin assignment and Friends & Family privileges.
Can I sail multiple times as a renter before deciding to buy?
Yes, absolutely.
Will I be in the same villa each time, or can I try different categories?
You may try different categories. The credit remains the same (minimum $500), regardless of category.
If I convert, can I count my time already spent onboard as part of my ownership timeline?
No, your credits are not applied retroactively.
What happens if I want to stop midway and not continue the program?
Your monthly rental is subject to the cancellation terms in your contract. If you cancel within the allowed window, you will receive a refund.
How is this different from Try Before You Buy?
Try Before You Buy is limited to 7 days. Sail Toward Ownership requires a minimum of 3 months to qualify, giving you a much deeper experience.
Why should I choose Sail Toward Ownership over just renting or buying outright?
This program is ideal if you’re on the fence about ownership but want a lower-risk way to transition. It allows you to build credits toward ownership without making the full upfront investment.
What protections do I have if I decide not to move forward?
The Month-to-Month program is a pay-as-you-go program where your contractual obligation is limited to only 3 months. There is no obligation to purchase at any time during your rental.
