VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Feb. 11, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shore Premier Finance (SPF) recently launched its newest customer benefit, a one-year complimentary membership to the SPF Concierge Club powered by Marinalife, offering discounts and special offers, marina reservations, travel planning and marina information to new boat buyers financing their boat through SPF.
The SPF Concierge Club provides boat owners with access to exclusive benefits to create an easy, convenient and affordable boating experience.
"We are thrilled about the launch of our partnership with Shore Premier Finance. The benefits included in the boating club will enhance the experience on the water for SPF customers and provide them with peace of mind they're looking for while cruising. We have worked with Herve Bonnet for many years and the launch of the benefit program for SPF customers is an exciting step for Marinalife," says Joy McPeters, President/CEO of Marinalife.
As the preferred financing option of Marinalife, members of the SPF Concierge Club will have access to hundreds of discounts and special offers from participating marinas, boatyards, restaurants and other services as well as online marina reservations, a complimentary boat show ticket, and free magazine subscriptions to Marinalife Magazine and an additional yachting publication. Members can access online marina tools and resources including updated fuel locations and pricing, trip planning features, access to popular cruise itineraries, navigation alerts and more. Club members can opt into Marinalife Insurance Services with coverage in all 50 states. And in turn, SPF will also be offering its financing services and banking packages to Marinalife members.
"We are excited to enhance the SPF customer experience by partnering with Marinalife to offer this Concierge Membership as an additional benefit to our customers. It is important for us to enhance our customers' experience long after their boat loan closes and they are on the water. Our goal is to help make their dream a reality," said Herve Bonnet, President & CEO of Shore Premier Finance.
