This month brings great news! Join before June ends and receive a 50% reduction off the joining fee. This offer is also limited to the next ten people who can join the club! So, hurry! In addition, up to two people can attend our skipper school for free.

Experience the joy of boating with Pleasure Cruising, where you have the certainty of no high upfront costs, no long-term agreements and no maintenance! With our corporate memberships, there may be tax advantages upon joining by the 30th of June. So, what are you waiting for?

Aside from that super deal offer, here’s another update: 

Boat owners suffer huge losses during the last four years. Have you heard that a new Mustang 3800 sold for $375,000 in 2008 and now for only  $185,000 with 35 engine hours. That’s a $190,000 loss for the owner. Add mooring fees and servicing costs of let’s say $60,000. That’s a total loss of around $250,000. The owner paid $7,142 per hour for the use of his boat!

Buyers be aware and look at the exit costs! Boats are very difficult to sell and it may take months or years. Commissions to sell a boat are around 10%, which is a big sting when the boat finally gets sold. The value in luxury boats are plunging and the secondhand boat market is full of used boats that can’t sell. Worse, any loss is not tax deductible. Needless to say, one perfect alternative is purchase a membership or become a Pleasure Cruising club investor! Why? It will save you lots of money at the end of the day. Plus, you get to live the dream without the stress of boat ownership!

Interested? Let us know what you think!
