Cooperating Group Program

Join BoatUS and Save on Towing Services

Through the Cooperating Group Program, members of participating boating organizations can join BoatUS for $25 and receive a 10% discount on TowBoatUS towing services. This offer gives clubs another way to support members who want to make the most of their time on the water.

Participating groups receive a personalized link that can be added to their website. The link includes the group’s unique embedded source code, also called a GA number, so members can easily join or renew through the organization.

Club leaders can also promote the program during membership meetings, boating events, educational programs, and other activities. Regular reminders in emails, newsletters, websites, and social media posts can help ensure that members are aware of the available discount and other BoatUS Membership options.

Benefits of a Partner Program for Boat Clubs

The BoatUS Cooperating Group Program helps boating organizations provide practical value without creating a new benefit from scratch. Participating groups can:

• Give members access to the Cooperating Group membership and towing discount
• Direct members to a personalized link for joining or renewing
• Promote the offer through club events and communications
• Use downloadable BoatUS marketing materials
• Access boating content for newsletters and member correspondence

These resources can support membership engagement while helping boaters learn more about services and information designed for life on the water.

Get Free Content for Your Club Newsletters

Participating boat clubs and yacht clubs can access boating-themed articles and press releases for use in newsletters and other club communications.

The BoatUS Syndicated Content Media Hub offers feature-length BoatUS Magazine stories accompanied by professional photography or artwork. Clubs may download and reprint these articles at no charge, provided they credit BoatUS Magazine as the source. To browse the available content, create an account and enter the registration code syndication1.

BoatUS Public Affairs press releases are another useful source of timely material. Topics include boating news, safety guidance, important legislation, and other issues that may affect club members. Each press release also includes a downloadable photo.

Together, these resources can help clubs maintain a consistent communications schedule and share useful boating information with their members.

Promote the Program to Your Members

BoatUS provides marketing materials that organizations can use to highlight their participation in the Cooperating Group Program. Available resources include:

• BoatUS logos
• A web banner promoting the member discount
• A customizable club flyer
• A Cooperating Group membership application
• A PowerPoint presentation for membership meetings

When using the customizable materials, remember to include your organization’s unique group identification number where indicated. The presentation can also be shared at an upcoming club meeting to introduce the program and explain the available member benefits.

For greater visibility, consider placing your personalized membership link in several locations, including your club website, membership emails, newsletter, new-member materials, and event communications.
