Memo

We are actively onboarding founding partners for our first marina acquisition.

We are working to acquire a functioning marina in Cincinnati as the foundation for a new kind of yacht club—one built around access, community, and real-world use.

Why this matters

Boating has long been treated as something exclusive—something reserved for those who can afford to own and maintain a vessel.

We see something different.

There are thousands of people who want access to the water without the burden of ownership. There are traveling boaters passing through every season. There are local communities that benefit from jobs, services, and activity built around a well-run marina.

The demand is already there.

What’s missing is a model that brings it all together.

The plan

We are reclaiming neglected river infrastructure, resolving legacy environmental issues, restoring riverfront access, and revitalizing local maritime communities.

We are starting with a single, real asset:

  1. Acquire the marina
  2. Stabilize and operate what already exists
  3. Upgrade services (fuel, repair, storage, and member experience)
  4. Launch a community-powered yacht club model
  5. Expand to additional locations based on facilities and demand

This is not about building from scratch.

It’s about taking something that already works—and making it work better.

The opportunity

This project is structured in phases:

  1. $1.8M to secure the marina acquisition
  2. $3M total to fully develop operations, upgrades, and staffing

We are currently focused on building early momentum and aligning with partners who understand both the asset and the long-term vision. We are currently building our first $50,000 in early commitments to secure the next phase of this acquisition.

Why now

Every project has a moment where it shifts from idea to reality.

This is that moment.

Early partners are not just participating in a single location—they are helping establish the foundation for a model designed to expand into multiple markets over time.

Future locations will not be chosen blindly. They will be driven by real demand, real participation, and proven results from this first site.

What we’re building

This is not a luxury yacht club.

This is a 99% model.

A place where:

  1. People can access boating without owning a boat
  2. Boat owners can get real support, service, and value
  3. Communities benefit from jobs, tourism, and activity

We believe 99% is enough.

Enough people.

Enough demand.

Enough opportunity.

The next step

If this aligns with how you see opportunity—grounded in real assets, built with intention, and designed to grow—we invite you to be part of this early stage.

Take a closer look. Ask questions. Be involved.

This starts with one marina—and grows from there.
