A SEA-CHANGE IS COMING In 2000 there were 10,000 inboard cruisers sold in the U.S. In 2023 1,700 inboard cruisers were registered or documented in the U.S. The major reason that only 17% of the 41'+boats are sold to day compared to 25 years ago is that they're too damn expensive. Sovereign Boat Club can chnage that situation for you. SBC boat buyers can get deep discounts on boats, deduct the cost from their income tax, depreciate them, and earn income while your doing it all.

ADVENTURE REVOLUTION Somewhere along the line Americans forgot what boating was all about. Over the last 30 years its been all about horsepower, ever larger wings, flying widgets, hydraulic popovers, and foiling rudders. It took a couple of folks up in the wilds of Finland to remind us what the Rat said to the Mole-- "...there is nothing --absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." Amen. Back to the future, means back to basics.
