Did anyone else get the questionnaire/survey about a program Sea Ray is thinking about? I got this email as a Sea Ray Owner's Club member, not from working at a dealership. The insurance part seems particularly interesting. Below is from the first page of the survey:
As part of our commitment to explore ways to enhance our Sea Ray Owner’s Club boating experience, we wanted to ask your opinion about a potential new program just for you. As part of this new program, you would have the option to be a part of a national on-line boat sharing and rental concept that would allow you, at your discretion, to 1) rent your boat to another Sea Ray member / owner or boating enthusiast or 2) rent someone else’s boat. In this unique program, comprehensive damage and liability insurance will be provided to safeguard both you as a boat owner and/or as a renter, regarding any property damage or liability associated with the rental. In addition, a towing service will be provided, at no additional cost, for any issues that may arise during the rental period. The boat owner will be responsible, through an easy to use online marketplace, for the coordination, orientation and handoff of the boat to rent. All renters would be subject to a thorough background check and must prove competence on the boat to be rented before being granted command of the vessel. The boat owner will determine the availability of the boat for rentals, the price of the rentals and have full control over approving or rejecting rental applicants. Thank you for your input. Your perspective is extremely valuable to us as we explore exciting new benefits for our Sea Ray Owner's Club members.
