Looking for a Franchise with Recurring Revenue?
If you’re searching for the best franchise opportunities in 2025, chances are you’ve seen everything from food chains to fitness studios. But what if you could combine a fast-growing lifestyle industry with a proven, high-margin business model?
That’s exactly what a Nautical Boat Club® franchise delivers: recurring membership income, low overhead compared to other industries, and a booming customer base of people who want all the benefits of boating without the hassle of ownership.
Boating Industry Growth = Opportunity
· Recreational boating is at an all-time high in the U.S.
· More families and professionals are choosing boat clubs vs. boat ownership to save on cost and maintenance.
· This trend has created one of the most overlooked yet profitable business ideas: the boat club franchise model.
By investing in a Nautical Boat Club®, you’re tapping into a growing market with strong consumer demand.
Strong Financial Performance
When evaluating franchise opportunities, the economics matter most. We’re the only boat club franchise that reports an Item 19 on our Franchise Disclosure Document. Here’s how we stack up:
· Average Gross Sales per Club: $816,515
· Average Revenue per Boat: $66,882
· Average EBITDA Margins: 33%
· Average Locations per Owner: 3+
These numbers prove this isn’t just a lifestyle business; it’s a profitable franchise with recurring revenue and the ability to scale. And if you’re aiming higher than average, the opportunity here is especially compelling for operators ready to dominate larger markets.
Cost to Open a Boat Club Franchise
One of the most common questions is: How much does it cost to start a boat club franchise?
· Startup Costs: $503,700 – $902,250 (depending on fleet and market size)
· Liquid Capital Needed: $250,000
· Net Worth Requirement: $1,000,000+
· Franchise Fees: 6% royalty, 1% brand fund
Compared to restaurants or gyms with similar startup costs, a boat club franchise offers higher margins and lower day-to-day headaches.
Why the Margins are So Strong
· Vendor Discounts: Significant savings on boats and equipment from premium manufacturers like Correct Craft, Malibu, Winnebago, and Polaris.
· Operational Efficiency: Our playbook minimizes mistakes and reduces marketing and staffing costs.
· Recurring Membership Model: Monthly dues create stability, not seasonal peaks and valleys.
That’s why many investors looking for a profitable franchise with low overhead are turning to this model.
