The partnership allows PowerTime bases throughout the United States to sell Jeanneau boats into their local fleet via PowerTime’s innovative yacht ownership program.
“The purpose of the partnership is for PowerTime to offer Jeanneau powerboats in its fleet for members and owners. PowerTime will now be exclusive to Beneteau and Jeanneau, combined – the largest powerboat manufacturer in the world PowerTime CEO Todd Hess said. “The agreement gives PowerTime customers another high-quality option to access a boat all season via the PowerTime innovative membership and ownership programs.”
PowerTime will provide Jeanneau an additional way to access the sharing economy and to tap into this growing market of buyers and boaters.
