Glastron Boats join the fleet at Your Boat Club

Oct 31, 2023

In a landmark move, Your Boat Club, a rapidly growing boat club with partial ownership under the Groupe Beneteau umbrella, with already 40 unique locations in Florida, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and France, has chosen to incorporate Glastron boats into its fleet. Your Boat Club boasts an impressively youthful fleet, with an average vessel age just above one year, reflecting their commitment to delivering the latest boating experiences to their members. By integrating the Glastron line of products into its business model, Your Boat Club seeks to elevate its already exceptional member’s experience to new heights.

This strategic partnership is set to revolutionize the way boat rental businesses across the United States operate, making the Glastron range of boats readily available to partner boat rental enterprises. Groupe Beneteau is excited to introduce these dynamic changes, making the vision of unforgettable family adventures a reality for an even wider audience.
