Bottom line
- Total investment $75K – $152K including a $25K franchise fee.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 64/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 4 loans (below the industry average).
- System contracting at -8.3% CAGR over 3 years. Investigate whether closures are franchisor-driven (consolidation) or franchisee-driven (economics).

Overview
About
SailTime/PowerTime franchisees operate membership-based boat and water sports rental/sailing clubs in protected territories. Franchisees manage facility operations, member acquisition, scheduling, boat maintenance, and customer experience while leveraging the franchisor's brand and management systems. Revenue depends on membership fees, hourly rental rates, and ancillary services like lessons and events in a seasonal leisure market.
