Nor-Tech and Florida Powerboat Club: 30 Years of Trust and Adventure!
This year, a dazzling maritime adventure unfolded as 16 Nor-Tech center console owners set sail for the enchanting waters of the Bahamas. Led by Florida Powerboat Club head Stu Jones, along with his wife Jackie and son Tyler, the journey was not just another boat run; it was a celebration of a long-standing tradition. As noted by Speed on the Water, this expedition marked a significant continuation of the 30-year relationship between Nor-Tech and the Florida Powerboat Club (FPC).
It’s a partnership built on trust and loyalty, demonstrating how vital these qualities are for successful boating trips. Nor-Tech has been supporting the Florida Powerboat Club since 1995, playing an instrumental role in the growth of both the sport and the brand. At FPC events, Nor-Tech boats are always a familiar sight, embodying the spirit of high-performance boating.
An Engaging Itinerary
The Bahamas run is not just about speed and craft, but also about creating unforgettable experiences. FPC recently debuted a new Nor-Tech official paceboat, a 390 Sport model, which happens to be the 500th build of this stylish center console. This milestone has spurred FPC and Nor-Tech to plan even more exciting boating events, including an annual Nor-Tech owners appreciation run from Cape Coral and the vibrant Nor-Tech Owners Invitational Run in the Bahamas. Florida Powerboat Club provides detailed planning to ensure these events are memorable for all attendees, from boat owners to their families.
The week-long itinerary features the finest boating destinations and activities, ensuring that participants have a blast while strengthening their bonds with one another and their beloved vessels. The proven formula established by FPC has been a hit since 1992, making every trip a cherished memory for those involved.
Philanthropy at the Heart
Nor-Tech’s commitment to community support adds a unique dimension to this recreational pursuit. The company has aligned itself with the Fort Myers Offshore group, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fundraising for student scholarships. Many Nor-Tech owners are also part of this initiative, showcasing the strong philanthropic spirit within the community. As highlighted by Speed on the Water, Nor-Tech’s corporate culture enriches the Southwest Florida community, emphasizing the importance of giving back.
Founded in Southwest Florida 33 years ago by Trond and Nils, Nor-Tech has come a long way from its early days with just two employees. Nils, the chief designer, often draws inspiration from his cherished cherry red Lamborghini Countach, and it shows in the sleek, stylish lines of Nor-Tech boats. Their motto, „If we can build it, we will,“ perfectly captures their innovative spirit, driving them to create boats that meet the highest performance standards.
The legacy of Nor-Tech continues to thrive, operated from four facilities across Southwest Florida, showcasing their commitment to craftsmanship and community. In an industry that often feels disconnected, Nor-Tech and FPC exemplify how trust, camaraderie, and philanthropy can weave together to create more than just a boating event—it can build a family.
