The Private Yacht Club – Investing in your family

The exciting and new concept of yacht club equity memberships begins to take charge in south Florida. This new concept is beginning to shape how boaters purchase a “home” for their boat i.e. how they choose to secure a place for recreating as a family. Equity memberships provide a social environment for you and your family to form bonds, make memories and provide an escape from the fast pace of life. Marinas, boatyards and other boat storage locations continue to fall prey to residential condominium developers combined with a restriction in permitting new marinas and the ever shrinking supply of land available for building a marina. An equity membership in a yacht club provides a fantastic way to lock in a dry storage slip for your boat. We have seen in the last few years Wiggins Pass Marina, Factory Bay Marina, and Boat Haven disappearing as marinas not to mention Turner’s Marina, Gulf Shores Marina, Cedar Bay Marina, Naples Marina and others which have turned into private yacht clubs.

Why consider purchasing an equity membership now?

Equity memberships are available for purchase in many of the world's major ocean, lake and river accessible communities. As demand continues to increase in coastal areas of the U.S., especially as baby boomers begin to retire, the availability of equity memberships and dock spaces continue to decrease. The popularity of boating continues to increase as people realize the benefits of having one platform for multi-generational and cross gender family exchanges. You now have the opportunity to preserve your piece of the action.

Equity memberships have seen atmospheric increases in popularity due to a number of drivers:

1. There are more boaters entering the market looking to experience the pristine environment in which we live.
2. “Mom and Pop” operations are being acquired by developers as they experience increased expenses from insurance and taxes.
3. Additionally, government is enacting tighter environmental, regulatory and land use restrictions reducing the available supply of marinas at large.
