The Cruising Club

Description

The Cruising Club International commenced operations as an international marine franchise business in 2006, and today is expanding its area of operations in Asia, USA and in Latin America. The Cruising Club Fractional Boat Ownership Franchise Network offers both businesspeople and hard core 'boaties' the opportunity to easily acquire and operate our 'marine business in a box', and enjoy a lifestyle 'sea change' business sharing big boats with appreciative owner/ members. The Cruising Club Franchise Network operates through a fractional sales and vessel management structure of exclusive National Franchise and marina based Unit Franchise and Vessel Management companies. National franchisees are managed by The Cruising Club International, the intellectual property licensee and international franchisor, and administer the marketing, sales and ongoing management of a number of Unit Franchise locations and Fractional Vessel Syndicates at key marina and boating locations within the territory. Each Unit franchisee offer The Cruising Club fractional equity program to up to ten members per vessel, from a range of approved vessels from 33ft to 120ft plus in length, according to the territory franchise package acquired. The Cruising Club Vessel Developer program allows a Unit Franchisee to secure, accommodate and offer a range of large fractional vessels, with only minimal overhead and operating costs, on an exclusive basis per marina location. Fractional member driver skills training (where appropriate), crew/supplies provision plus ongoing vessel management and maintenance programs provide a strong ongoing revenue per vessel, complementing strong initial vessel acquisition and fractional development and sales margins. The worldwide Marine industry suffered a significant downturn in the late 2000's with repossessions skyrocketing and boat sales declining substantially, matching the crash of the luxury products, stock market/ financial and real estate industries. Luxury non-essential items, including recreational boats, ceased to be in demand as previously, and many manufacturing and dealer businesses subsequently went out of business. The Cruising Club Fractional Boat Ownership continues to be an increasingly viable boating option for many families and businesses, who continue to seek the enjoyment of large boat ownership, but without the substantial cost and ongoing maintenance hassle that comes with such a lifestyle decision. As more and more manufacturers and dealers come to support The Cruising Club in endeavoring to make a high quality boat ownership experience more affordable and available to more people and businesses, our Network continues to grow - and with it the range of spectacular boating experiences now available to everyone through this amazing 'lifestyle and opportunity cost' concept.
