Are you a natural born entrepreneur with a passion for the water? Would you like to bring a country club experience to your boating community? Do you want to bring in recurring revenue while doing what you love? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then owning a boat club is the perfect fit for you!
Nautical Boat Club, known as the first and only boating country club, has provided a luxury, fun and hassle-free boat life for more than 30 years. As leaders in the recreational boating industry, the club is seeking partners with a vision to create a lasting legacy while making life-long memories for members.
The benefits of becoming a boat club franchise owner are ideal for anyone with industry experience or entrepreneurs who want to get their feet wet.
Jon Dukes, owner of two Nautical Boat Club locations, left the corporate world in 2006 to join the team and has thrived as a boat club owner ever since. His first location was on Lake Murray in South Carolina, and he opened another in Mount Pleasant, SC, around six years ago.
“Nautical is great about supporting you fully with the operation of the business, acquisition of boats, insurance, etc., so they do a lot to support their owners and operators,” says Dukes. "What I’ve told people who are considering becoming part of the franchise, your ramp up time and your time to profitability is much shorter today than it was when I joined.”
