Customized launch plans aligned with your goals

The following section outlines the investment levels, sales potential, launch plan, and knowledge transfer processes, tailored to the partnership set-up you select.

  • Boats: Activate 1-2 boats, which can also be used for demos or charters. This is the best way for you to start selling Agapi’s portfolio and thus leveraging your current assets
  • Staff: A dockhand during the high season for seamless operations.
  • Time: Dedicate resources for sales and customer engagement.

You’ll remain in full control of your Club fleet, ensuring availability for your own business needs.

 

Your established business gives you a strong starting advantage: your existing customer base, the list of your potential customers and an inflow of new Club leads. Our portfolio enables you to provide every individual with a tailored boating solution that perfectly suits their needs.

Your existing customers. Here how to increase sales, retention and loyalty.

  • Complement their boating life with an Agapi Boat Club membership enabling them to go boating in any of our Club locations worldwide as well as to go boating with other boats available in your Club fleet and try new models thus securing future potential new boat sales and charter trips.
  • Offer them to activate their owned boat in your Club fleet through our Smart Boat Ownership model, thus off-loading your own balance sheet.

Your registered potential customers. Accelerate sales through offering them the full Agapi Boat Club’s portfolio.

  • Offer them to buy a boat through our Smart Boat Ownership model to combine the benefits of owning with the convenience of membership.
  • Offer them a Club membership based on their preferred lifestyle, Unlimited boating or On-demand
  • Offer a Charter trip to try-out your service and eventually become a member in your Club or buy a boat from you as a Smart Boat Owner set-up.
  • Offer your recurrent Charter clients a PayGo package to enjoy the full scale of benefits as a Club member.

New Club leads. Offer them the full Agapi Boat Club’s portfolio.

  • Same as for “Your listed potential customers” above.

We will guide you every step of the way to ensure a smooth and successful start. Once the agreement is signed, our primary focus will be on achieving the most critical milestone: starting sales.

It’s important to note that you don’t need a fully established fleet or complete operations to begin selling. Building a new business takes time, and the journey starts by creating awareness and spreading the word. In those first four weeks, we will work closely with you to set up the key elements needed for a strong launch, ensuring you’re ready to capture interest and generate momentum.

Our goal is to have you commercially operational within four weeks, including:

  • Dedicated webpage promoting your own location
  • Booking system activation.
  • Ready-to-use pricing and downloadable materials.
  • Sales & marketing training, templates and plan.

We are committed to actively guiding and supporting you and your team, ensuring a seamless transfer of knowledge and expertise. Over the first 12 months, we will work together to implement all the essential components needed for the successful operation of your Agapi Boat Club. Our comprehensive support will cover:

  • Key Concepts: Membership types, Smart Boat Ownership, Boat categories, fleet financing models, and more.
  • Sales and Marketing: Strategies and tools to effectively reach and engage your target audience.
  • Club Management: Best practices for running a successful Club operation.
  • Fleet Operations and Management: Optimizing boat availability, maintenance, and customer satisfaction.
  • IT Platforms: Training on our user-friendly systems for bookings, fleet tracking, and customer management.
  • Finance and Administration: Guidance on financial processes and operational administration.

Our goal is to empower you with the skills and knowledge needed to become fully self-sufficient while ensuring a solid foundation for long-term success.
