A storage answer at the point of sale
Hand buyers a credible, indoor, hurricane-resistant option instead of a shrug — and remove the last obstacle to closing.
Dealers · Boat & RV
Storage shouldn't cost you the sale.
In Sarasota / Manatee, buyers increasingly can't find a place to keep their boat — and a stalled storage search can stall the purchase. Gold Key Boathouse gives your customers a real answer, so deals close.
The Dealer's Problem
"Where am I going to put it?" is killing deals.
Every dealer in this region knows the moment: the buyer is ready, the boat is right, and then the storage question comes up. With local facilities full and waitlists years long, that question can delay or sink the sale. Some dealers are already telling buyers to secure storage before they buy — which puts your deal at the mercy of someone else's waitlist.
The Partnership Offer
What Gold Key offers dealers.
Reserved dealer capacity — up to 5 dry slips
Reserve up to five dry slips for your dealership so your buyers aren't starting at the back of a public line.
Customer referral program
A structured referral relationship that rewards your dealership for sending buyers our way and keeps storage tied to the sale.
Co-marketing & sponsored events
Co-marketing opportunities and sponsored events that keep your dealership front and center with the region's boat owners.
Built for the boats you sell.
Gold Key stores boats and trailers together, accommodates vessels up to 50 feet, and is purpose-built for the trailer-boat owner who makes up the majority of this market. For your buyers, that means fast launch-day retrieval and protected, indoor storage — an easy story to tell on the showroom floor.
Secondary Program
Limited RV capacity, same standard.
A portion of our capacity — up to 25% — is dedicated to RV storage under the same indoor, secure, hurricane-resistant standard. Because boats come first, RV space is limited and reservation-based, so early referral relationships matter most here. If you sell RVs in the region, let's talk about reserving capacity for your buyers.
