Trudy Jacobson Presents:
Jenilee Wirtz of CareFree Boating
Jenilee Wirtz of CareFree Boat Club is a pioneering entrepreneur who founded the CareFree Boat Club in Connecticut, aiming to make boating more accessible and affordable. Inspired by cherished childhood memories of boating with her family, she established a membership-based model that allows families to enjoy boating without the burdens of ownership, such as maintenance and cleaning. Members pay a monthly fee for unlimited access to boats, enabling them to create lasting memories on the water.
Recognizing the male-dominated nature of the boating industry, Jenilee is committed to empowering women by encouraging them to become captains and take leadership roles within the sector. She actively supports her female staff in obtaining captain certifications, fostering an environment where women feel confident and competent at the helm.
In addition to her work in the boating industry, Jenilee has expanded her entrepreneurial ventures to the wellness sector. She owns and operates two Sirius Day Spas in the Sarasota, Florida area, each featuring 11 rooms, a Serenity lounge, and full hair services.
Jenilee's innovative approach to boating and her dedication to empowering women have made her a notable figure in her community and beyond. Her efforts have been recognized in various media outlets, including features by Trudy Jacobson in the "Great American Women" series.
