An emerging concept provides

Oceans of opportunity

While the boat club concept is an exciting emerging industry, we are one of the pioneers in the industry with over 30 years of operations under our belt. There’s plenty of room for individuals and marina owners to open in premium markets providing beautiful, clean, family-friendly fun. Our franchised locations have EBITDA* margins of 37% as of 2022.

* We define EBITDA as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, and the EBITDA Margin is produced by dividing the EBITDA by the Gross Sales.

This analysis does not account for Franchisee Owner benefit, so expenses include owner salaries, officer salaries, bonuses, and any other benefits afforded to those who act as employees.
