825 Marinas Nationwide Offer Discounts on Fuel, Transient Slips, Repairs

The BoatU.S. Cooperating Marina program which offers boaters discounts on frequently purchased items such as fuel, transient slips and boat repairs, has recently added 56 new participating marinas. This brings the number of BoatU.S. Cooperating Marinas nationwide to 825.

The program allows marina operators to select the discount they would like to offer BoatU.S. members: these can include up to $.10 per gallon discount on fuel; 25% discount on transient slips; or 15% off repairs. The BoatU.S. Cooperating Marina Program was launched as a way to make recreational boating more affordable for consumers while providing incremental revenue to marina operators. Now in its ninth year, the program has become even more popular with boaters as they look for ways to soften the impact of high fuel prices.

“This is a benefit that provides real value to both the boater and marina owner,” said Jim Schofield, manager of the BoatU.S. Cooperating Marina Program. “Our members tell us it extends a great deal of loyalty towards a participating marina and leads them to return to the facility time and time again,” he added.

New marinas are welcome to join the program said Schofield. Interested marina operators or boaters who have suggestions can contact him at 888-333-2628 or email JSchofield@BoatUS.com.

Marinas in the program receive advertising support for local marketing efforts and are included in the annual BoatU.S. Member Services Directory that is distributed to over 630,000 association members. A list of the new BoatU.S. Cooperating marinas follows. For a complete list of all 825 BoatU.S. Cooperating Marinas and their discounts being offered, go to http://www.BoatUS.com/Marinas
