Tom Gardiner

CEO

"We’ll have 50 clubs in five years and 100 clubs in ten years. That means there’s 50-75 locations available. That’s a huge opportunity for someone that wants to get in on the frontend.

Alex McLaughlin

Multi-Location Owner

"This isn’t a one-man show. The resources that we bring together as a team are much greater than any one of us can provide. That’s in part because of the franchise’s guidance and leadership."

Tim Kiser

MULTI-LOCATION OWNER

"I’ve opened clubs in a matter of months and that’s because of the franchise. With the franchise you have purchase agreements with the nicest boat manufacturers. You have marina contracts pre-done, all these things that allow you to step-by step open a club, even if you’ve never opened one before."
