The Cruising Club USA Franchise Launches Largest Boat in Worldwide Fleet at Pier 121

The Cruising Club-USA, a franchisor and market leader in fractional boat ownership, announced today that it has added a ninety-two foot Sumerset luxury houseboat to its worldwide fleet. This newest addition is docked at Pier 121 Marina on Lake Lewisville in Lewisville, Texas.

This hand selected boat is fully maintained all year round, ready for member's use every day. Regular mechanical upkeep, insurance, marina slip rental, concierge service, management and refurbishment are carried out by The Cruising Club Vessel Management Company. A comprehensive training course is included with each membership application.

This luxury boat provides a perfect setting for family getaways, corporate parties, team-building events, sales meetings, and sports watching parties. "It's the perfect setting for so many events," says Carlton A. Morris, The Cruising Club-USA managing partner. "It's something completely different for corporations to provide for clients or for off site team-building."

Owning a membership share in this luxury boat makes financial sense as well. "This boat would retail at over seven hundred thousand dollars," says Morris. "Corporations, or individuals for that matter, can have more than three weeks per year usage of this boat for a one time investment of $70,000.00. That's less than the down payment if it were purchased by a single owner. Plus, all members have the opportunity to trade in days on this boat for similar luxury boats located in several cities of Australia, Thailand, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Bali, Fiji, or anywhere else in the global exchange network."

Along with the Sumerset, the Cruising Club provides a Four Winns ski boat and a Donzi 'Go Fast' boat as part of the package deal. This gives shareholders and guests the opportunity to relax on the luxury boat and to go fast on the other boats. "It's truly like we say," says Morris. "The Cruising Club provides 'A Millionaire's Lifestyle on a Fisherman's Budget."
