The Shares Marketplace Is Open
Selling a share in a jointly owned aircraft, yacht, or vacation home has always been the awkward part of co-ownership. The asset is great. The group works. But when a member wants out, or the group wants to grow, finding the right new co-owner comes down to word of mouth, a post on a type-club forum, and a lot of explaining over email.
Today that gets easier. The Kai Shares Marketplace is open: a public directory of share listings from co-ownership groups on Kai. Groups list the shares they want to sell. Buyers browse, and express interest in one click. The group takes it from there.
For buyers: real groups, real numbers
Every listing on the marketplace is a share in an existing, operating group — an aircraft with its flying club, a yacht with its syndicate, a car or a property with its co-owners. No account needed to browse.
Each listing shows a photo gallery, the asset's specifications (pulled straight from the group's own records in Kai — make, model, year, and the details that matter per asset type), what's on offer — a number of shares or a percentage — and the asking price: per share, per percent, for the whole stake, or on request.
Interested? Leave your name, email, and a short message. Your details go to that group and nobody else, and the group contacts you directly. There's no middleman and no broker in the conversation — the marketplace's job is only the introduction.
One thing to look for while you browse: listings from groups that run their co-ownership in Kai are marked Managed in Kai. That mark means the shares and transfers behind the listing are recorded in a real share register, not just claimed. Listings without it come from sellers outside Kai, and Kai doesn't verify the asset or the ownership — worth knowing before you commit to anything.
For sellers: a listing in minutes, leads in your registry
If your group runs on Kai, the asset you'd advertise is already in the system — photos, specifications, everything. Creating a listing is a matter of filling in the story around it.
From Members → Share registry, create a listing: pick the asset, write a headline, choose what's offered and at what price (or leave it on request), add photos, and describe how the shared ownership works. You can preview exactly what the public will see before anything goes live, and pause or close the listing whenever you want.
Once published, the listing gets a public link you can share anywhere — the marketplace directory is one door in, but your own email signature, club newsletter, or forum post works just as well. The listing page tracks views and leads, so you know whether it's working.
When someone expresses interest, they land on your buyer waitlist in the share registry, with their message attached. You'll get a notification, and everything after that — the conversations, the visit, the decision — stays yours.
Not on Kai? You can still list
The marketplace isn't only for Kai customers. If your group manages its co-ownership elsewhere — a spreadsheet, a notary, a drawer — you can still put your shares in front of the same buyers. Get in touch and we'll set up the listing with you: same public page, same photo gallery, same interest form delivering leads to your inbox.
The honest difference: external listings don't carry the Managed in Kai mark, because we can't vouch for a share register we don't hold. Everything else works the same.
From lead to co-owner, without the loose ends
The marketplace connects to the share registry, so the handover isn't a handshake and a hope. When you've found your buyer, you record the transfer in Kai: the shares are held until you confirm the payment arrived, and they move automatically the moment the buyer joins the group. The listing itself never commits any particular member to selling — which member's shares transfer is decided when you record it, not when you advertise.
The new co-owner walks into a group that's already set up: the bookings, the cost sharing, the maintenance history — all of it is right there from day one.
What it costs
If your group runs on Kai, listing is free — it's included in your subscription. Kai charges a success fee of €300 for each new member who joins your group through the marketplace, invoiced separately after the shares are transferred. No sale, no fee.
If your group isn't on Kai, you pay a one-time listing fee of €300 up front, and nothing after that — no success fee, whoever buys. And if you later decide to run your group on Kai, the full amount comes off your first invoice, with no deadline attached.
Same price on both paths, on purpose. The difference is only where it's charged: on the outcome when Kai can see the sale happen, up front when it can't.
