Sovereign Boat Club's "Share the Wealth" Program

The concept of Sovereign Boat Club is quite simply to share the wealth. It’s a win-win for everyone!  A limit of 8 members pay a fraction of a boat’s cost to a boat owner who has already bought a premium boat. Each party is sharing what he can afford and the benefit for both is the affordable premium boat usage. Annual memberships in boats ranging from 27’ to 37’ (8.2 m to 10 m) are now available in Jupiter, St. Petersburg, and Bradenton, Fla. Check them out at SovereignBoatClub.com or call 727-200-3474.
