What Jetride does

JetRide is a privately held Florida-based boat and jet ski membership club operating under the legal entity Jet Ride Holdings, LLC. Founded in 2017 by Jeffrey Roach, the company runs a subscription-based fleet-access service across 15+ marina locations spanning Florida's Gulf and Intracoastal coasts (Tampa Bay, Naples, Marco Island, Fort Pierce, Stuart, Jupiter, Pompano Beach, and others) with a recent expansion into Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Its fleet comprises 14+ vessel models — bow riders, deck boats, pontoons, center consoles, sportfishing boats, and Yamaha WaveRunners — maintained at an average age of under one year. The company serves casual recreational boaters, families, seasonal residents, and snowbirds seeking on-water access without the upfront capital, maintenance, storage, and depreciation costs of boat ownership.

The core platform is a mobile-first reservation and access system delivered via app.jetride.com, featuring proprietary phone-based vessel unlocking that enables members to reserve and access boats on demand. Members pay monthly subscription fees (Weekday Plan from $299/month, Unlimited Jetsetter from $399/month, plus a Luxury/Performance tier for vessels over $100,000), a usage-based fuel charge per trip, optional Ride Protection insurance deductible buy-down coverage, and ancillary fees (household member $150, late fees $25–$100). The fleet carries up to $1,000,000 insurance coverage per occurrence, a mandatory Sea Tow Gold membership, and complimentary operator training. Operations are bounded to within 10 miles offshore.

JetRide's go-to-market combines a self-serve mobile/web booking experience with an assisted inside-sales motion through dedicated ride specialists (1-877-RIDE-PWC, [email protected]). Customer acquisition is supplemented by word-of-mouth referrals and a testimonial-driven website, with operations led by co-founder and COO Saran Ramnanan alongside founder Jeffrey Roach. No external funding rounds, parent company relationships, M&A activity, or AI/ML capabilities are documented in the available source material.

Direct peers

• Freedom Boat Club: The largest subscription boat club in the U.S., operating a national franchise network with hundreds of locations across the U.S. and internationally. Directly competes with JetRide in Florida, offering membership access to a diverse fleet of boats; business model, pricing structure, and target customer are highly aligned.
• InvitedClub / Boat Clubs of America: Multi-location boat club franchise network offering membership-based unlimited access to boats across the U.S. Directly comparable to JetRide's subscription model and casual-recreational positioning.
• Lux Boat Club: Membership-based boat club operating in Florida offering fleet access to members via subscription. Directly comparable to JetRide's core offering with overlapping Florida geography.
• Premier Boat Club: Boat club membership service operating in select Florida markets, providing access to a fleet of boats through recurring monthly subscriptions. Closely aligned with JetRide on business model, target market, and geographic overlap.
• Carefree Boat Club: Established membership-based boat club operating multiple locations primarily in the Southeast U.S., including Florida. Directly comparable to JetRide in offering unlimited access to a fleet of boats for a monthly fee with similar value proposition of replacing boat ownership.
• Nautical Boat Club: Subscription boat club with multiple locations in Florida and the Southeast, offering unlimited boating access via membership. Targets the same casual boater demographic as JetRide with a comparable fleet-access model.

Emerging players

• Boatsetter: Peer-to-peer boat rental marketplace connecting boat owners with renters by the day or hour. Competes with JetRide for casual boaters seeking an alternative to ownership, but offers a different (lower-commitment) model with captained options and a broader geographic marketplace.
• GetMyBoat: Global peer-to-peer boat and watercraft rental marketplace offering on-demand access to powerboats, sailboats, and personal watercraft. Overlaps with JetRide on the jet ski and boat rental use case but operates a marketplace model rather than a managed fleet.

Regional players

• Sam's Marina / Sam's Boat Club: Florida-based boat and personal watercraft rental operation with club-like access programs. Competes locally with JetRide for Florida recreational boaters but skews toward short-term daily rentals rather than recurring membership.

Broad incumbents

• Brunswick Corporation (Boat Group): Major marine OEM and parent of Freedom Boat Club, Mercury Marine, Sea Ray, and Boston Whaler. A broad incumbent that controls both boat manufacturing and the largest subscription boat club; relevant as both a potential strategic acquirer and a competitor setting market expectations.
