A Global Network of Floating Social Clubs

ARKHAUS is building the first global network of floating social clubs. Each location is anchored by four novel hospitality-focused vessels. These vessels can operate independently or as a connected fleet, empowering ARKHAUS to drive unmatched flexibility and experiences. Membership is capped at 360 per city, ensuring exclusivity while cultivating a vibrant community. Members enjoy curated experiences, waterfront access, and seamless integration with E-lixr, our electric water-taxi service. As the network scales city by city, ARKHAUS combines recurring revenue and scalability with global brand equity.

Membership Program

As the first floating social club of its kind, ARKHAUS is joining like-minded disruptors and innovators in a unique, luxurious environment completely surrounded by water. This unparalleled setting with extraordinary views is designed to formulate new connections between our members while fostering a balance of community and creativity. What truly sets us apart? We’re doing things differently — and trailblazing the waterways is just the beginning.

anchor membership

ARKHAUS will offer 360 Anchor Memberships per location, with options ranging from Individual, Couple, or Company plans. Each plan is priced according to the number of members listed on the plan, which also determines the frequency of monthly access to the club.

forever membership

Each ARKHAUS location also offers a very limited 10 Forever Memberships, each of which are sold via NFT. Forever Memberships provide the same access as Anchor Memberships but have two primary differences: 1) there are no annual dues as the initial purchase provides “Forever” access, and 2) the NFT can be sold, which also transfer the membership to the buyer, making the Forever Membership an asset that can be sold. These are sold in a very bespoke, by-request process. The Miami locations has now sold 7 of its 10 keys, and will offer the last 3 as it approaches launch. These NFT keys have sold for anywhere between 8 to 13.65 ETH, correlating to a range of $12.5k-$36.8k, based on the price of ETH at the time of trade.

Floating Hospitality as a Service (FHAAS)

In building a global network of floating social clubs, ARKHAUS has become the global leader in floating hospitality. The company combines its modular vessel infrastructure with permitting, regulatory, legal, and operational expertise to deliver a turnkey solution that empowers waterfront hospitality providers to expand onto their waterways. Each USCG Subchapter T–approved vessel is a fully certified venue with 40-person capacity, suitable for wellness programming, private dining, intimate gatherings, and destination activations worldwide. When linked together, the vessels transform into larger, reconfigurable platforms for corporate activations, pop-up experiences, and high-capacity waterfront festivals. This Hospitality-as-a-Service model enables ARKHAUS to generate revenue well beyond its own social club network through partnerships with festivals, brands, and global destination operators.

ARKHAUS can further support its global clientele of hospitality and other offerings by empowering them to modify their footprint seamlessly and endlessly – expanding, contracting, or even shifting vessels laterally to new locations through the ARKHAUS network.

Modularity

The modular design and connectivity of ARKHAUS vessels unlock unmatched flexibility. Whether anchored in a major city or a smaller waterfront destination, the fleet can scale up or down to fit the market. Vessels operate as standalone venues or link together to create larger experiences, enabling a wide variety of programming — from wellness retreats and private dining to festivals and corporate activations. This adaptability also allows vessels to be repositioned between clubs or redeployed into Floating Hospitality as a Service operations, maximizing utilization and revenue across the global ARKHAUS network.

Single and Dual Vessel Configurations

An ARKHAUS club can launch in any location with a single or dual-vessel formation. This approach allows ARKHAUS to enter a new city and build toward a full four-vessel club, or alternatively, decide to maintain a smaller footprint and more ideal scale for smaller markets. In some cases, a single or dual-vessel setup may be all a third-party FHaaS operation requires.

QUAD Vessel Configuration

In primary cities, ARKHAUS will deploy 4 vessels to form a full social club.

MODULARITY

New York City
The 4 NYC vessels will be positioned around Manhattan for Spring. In Summer, 2 vessels will be sent out to the Hamptons, providing members with access both in the city as well as out East by the beach. In Fall, the 4 vessels will re-unite in Manhattan, before heading South for the Winter. The 4 vessels will sail down the Intracoastal Waterway, making 1 to 2 week stops in Baltimore, Washington DC, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville and possibly further South. They’ll then return up the ICW making the same stops, before kicking off the next New York City membership year.

Dubai & Greece
A single set of vessels will be deployed seasonally, to Dubai in the Winter months and Greece in the Summer months. As this is a longer distance to transition, the vessels will be shipped, not sailed under their own power.

Pilot to Full Launch

Beta aboard recreational vessels

In order to develop the ‘commercial’ vessels required for the complete ARKHAUS business model, the company first ordered 2 ‘recreational’ vessels.  While these vessels are not certified for commercial operations, the US Coast Guard does allow for commercial activity limited to 6 patrons per vessel (or 13 when the vessel is chartered as a private event). With 2 recreational vessels now operational, ARKHAUS has been operating its limited beta for 6 passengers per vessel (or 12 when in dual vessel mode) approximately 2-3 days per week.  Even in this extremely limited recreational operating model, the company is generating $70k MRR, or $840k ARR (annualized).  It is anticipated this will exceed $1mm by Q4 2025.

full launch aboard commercial vessels

While the recreational vessels were in production, the required design and engineering of the commercial vessels was underway. And with ARKHAUS’ acquisition of Arkup now complete, the company will expediate and deploy the commercial vessels into operation.

These commercial vessels are visually near identical to the recreational vessels. However, with the required changes, the US Coast Guard allows for commercial activity up to the full safe capacity of the vessels – 40 passengers (32 patrons + 8 staff).

The advantage of the commercial vessels are many.  Not only do they provide the ability to serve 32 passengers per vessel (128 on a four club vessel), but they also create an environment worthy of a highly sought after social club that generates real revenue. In addition, the profit margins justify operating 5-6 days per week instead of 2-3, again increasing revenue.

As such, our pilot operating near $1mm ARR serves to confirm the revenue projections of $12+mm aboard the full club are aligned and realistic.

CASHFLOW PROFITABLE

As ARKHAUS receives the first commercial vessel, its revenue will almost immediately approach and exceed breakeven, including all operating, corporate, and debt service expenses.  The second commercial vessel will put ARKHAUS on its growth trajectory in Miami.

ARKHAUS will then use its profitability to further scale Miami (3rd and 4th vessel), accelerate marketing for global membership applications, and begin ordering vessels for the next city clubs.

Expansion

ARKHAUS Social Clubs

ARKHAUS is designed to grow as both a club network and a hospitality platform. Domestically, the model scales from Miami to other major U.S. waterfront cities, while internationally it unlocks opportunities in global destinations such as Dubai, Monaco, and Singapore. Each new market can begin with a single or dual-vessel formation and expand to a full four-vessel club, ensuring the right scale for each city.

• Growth Phase (Years 1-5)
  ARKHAUS will expand to New York City, Newport Beach, San Francisco, Cannes, Dubai, and Istanbul.
• Scale Phase (Years 6-10)
  ARKHAUS will expand to an addition 20-30 locations mostly throughout the US, Europe, South America and Asia

fhaas expansion

Beyond its own clubs, ARKHAUS extends its reach through Floating Hospitality as a Service (FHaaS). By partnering with third-party operators — from luxury resorts and event brands to festivals and cultural institutions — ARKHAUS empowers its global clientele to expand onto the water. With the ability to seamlessly expand, contract, or even reposition vessels laterally between locations, ARKHAUS enables a dynamic hospitality footprint that maximizes utilization and global revenue potential.

Timeline

ARKHAUS was originally slated for launch in late 2023, but unexpected production delays with our manufacturing partner extended the schedule. Rather than stall, the company leveraged disciplined financial management to adapt and emerge stronger.

Today, ARKHAUS is on a clear path to launch:

• H1 2026 → Partial club opening, delivering early member experiences on the water.
• H2 2026 → Full four-vessel launch in Miami, unlocking the complete ARKHAUS Club vision.

In the meantime, ARKHAUS has been far from idle. We have deployed two recreational vessels, assembled a seasoned Maritime and Hospitality team, and partnered with Michelin-starred chefs to develop world-class food & beverage programming. These initiatives not only keep momentum strong but also build brand equity and operational readiness ahead of launch.

Financial Projections

revenue sources

ARKHAUS generates revenue through a combination of membership dues, guest passes, and food & beverage sales. The club’s capacity is managed by “Capacity Hours,” with actual utilization measured as a percentage of total availability. Selling a conservative 360 memberships and anticipating an average of two guests per member visit, ARKHAUS projects ~50% capacity usage in Year 1.

After validating safety and experience at 50%, as well as testing alternative revenue opportunities, ARKHAUS can expand to 75% or even approach 100% of its true capacity by either increasing memberships or allowing more guest access.

Single Location ECONOMICS

Pre-launch operations with two recreational vessels have already proven the model. Activating only 2–3 times per week with capacity-limited vessels, ARKHAUS is currently generating $70k MRR (~$840k annualized) and is on track to surpass $1M annualized revenue by Q4 2025.

Upon delivery of the four USCG Subchapter T–approved commercial vessels, operating 6 full days per week and serving up to 32 patrons per vessel (instead of 6), ARKHAUS projects $12.7M in gross revenue and $3.5M in net revenue at 28% margins in Year 1 of full operations (2027).

Subsequent locations will see improved economics. With established revenues, the company will be able to secure a much lower cost of financing via an SBA 504 or private loan, increasing net revenue to $4.2mm and a profit margin of 33%.

global ECONOMICS

On a global level, the economics account for multiple locations and corporate overhead, benefiting from economies of scale. Even so, ARKHAUS models membership conservatively at 50% capacity utilization, leaving significant upside as demand and membership expand across domestic and international markets.

Maritime Blue Accelerator

Earlier this year, E-lixr was accepted as 1 of 4 emerging startups into Washington Maritime Blue, the world’s leading maritime decarbonization accelerator.

The Problem

Waterfront cities are outgrowing their cross-water roadways.

…is to electrify waterborne transportation.

While we were initially focused on designing, engineering, and building the first to market, commercial, electric vessel to be serially built in the US, we quickly realized manufacturing vessels was not the best path forward. We briefly considered being the ‘operator’ of the electric water taxi & ferry services, but also discovered it would take us 10-15 years to build and scale a nationwide operators. Ultimately, we realized that to build a system that could scale rapidly and deliver a nationwide service and the most value to our customers (and investors), we would need to build a platform. This platform would empower dozens and hundreds of small operators to operate under the single E-lixr system – a nationwide, all-electric, waterborne transportation service.

An all-electric water taxi network eases roadway congestion, reducing pollution-emitting road traffic while operating at a fraction of the cost.

What’s The Holdup?

Unlike larger ferries, smaller water taxis are not commercial operations and are not set up to scale.

The Op-Ex of fuel based vessels is too high to scale a water taxi operation.

The Cap-Ex of building an efficient all-electric system is insurmountable for small water taxi operators.

The E-lixr Platform & Network

E-lixr is aggregating and building a network of water taxi operators. We provide them the service layers they need to professionalize, scale, and go all-electric as part of the broader E-lixr network.

Go To Market

E-lixr’s go to market plan will allow it to not act as an operator itself, but instead to build a network of operators that can together scale into a nationwide service rapidly. The core of E-lixr’s offering to its network of operators falls into three service layers: Operations, Technology, and Vessel & Charging Infrastructure.

Step 1:  The e-lixr app

Our app will power the Miami pilot and expand to potential upcoming pilots in San Francisco, Seattle, and New York City.

Step 2:  rideshare integrations

…provide first- and last-mile road service in a single booking.

Step 3:  onboard operators

…in order to build a nationwide network under.

Step 4:  power the entire network

Our app and rideshare integrations will serve customers nationwide while our marketing and technology feed that ridership to our network of operators.

Network Vessels

pre-lectric to e-lectric

E-lixr is currently operating on 2 traditional fuel Axopar 37XCs, the ideal small water taxi. In the early stages, E-lixr will expand its fleet of these Axopars, and then begin to convert them to electric propulsion.

the e-1

E-lixr’s in-house designed vessel will be ready in the Summer of 2026. As the only non-foiling, all-electric, commercial boat to be built in and available in the US, it will form the backbone E-lixr’s larger ferry operations.

EXTENDED network vessels

A robust system requires a variety of vessels. E-lixr will partner with the world’s leading e-boat brands and approve them for operations within the network.

Network Service Layers

E-lixr offers three service layers in order to power its network of operators in quickly scaling a nationwide waterborne transport system.

SERVICE LAYER: OPERATIONS

SERVICE LAYER: TECHNOLOGY

SERVICE LAYER: VESSELS, CHARGING, FINANCING

With E-lixr providing these service layers, the network operators will be empowered to build, focus on, and scale their individual operations.

Transport Services

short range:  Intracoastal

Navier, E-1, and Candela vessels provide short range, intracoastal service.

mid range:  intercounty

Artemis fast-foiling ferries will provide mid range intra-county service.  This service also connects the intracoastal nodes to each other, creating a route network.

Long range:  regional

Regent seagliders will provide long range service.

Together, these 3 services cover all coastal transportation needs below what airlines can provide (150 miles and greater).

Op-Ex Reduction

The E-lixr all-electric platform will reduce operating expenses for our network of operators.

The below graph represents the operating expense for a single individual rider to cross a 3 mile body of water, aboard a non-commercial, fuel-based, water taxi.

The E-lixr platform will drive this cost down by 1) sourcing and financing electric vessels, 2) commercially certifying them for larger capacities, and 3) eventually adding autonomous technology to reduce staffing.

Market Size

The US market alone represents an $80 billion TAM and a $2.0 billion SOM.  The E-lixr platform will empower water taxis to increase the SOM as a much greater percentage of the TAM.

Key Milestones

Use of Funds

$1.5 million of the capital raise will be dedicated to developing the E-lixr water taxi network.

Launch Customer

Initially devised as the luxury tender service for the ARKHAUS club, E-lixr has now been spun out and launched an early stage Miami pilot service.

E-lixr continues to service the ARKHAUS club, which at full scale will generate $750k of annual revenue for each city ARKHAUS operates in.

Market Pilots

With the Miami pilot active, E-lixr is actively working with local leaders in San Francisco, Seattle, and New York City to create 3 more pilots, providing a combination of scheduled ferry and on-demand taxi services.

2025 Acquisition

In Q2 of 2025, ARKHAUS and its investors acquired Arkup. ARKHAUS now owns 25% of its former manufacturing vendor, with ARKHAUS’ lead investors owning the remaining 75%. This acquisition brings full vertical alignment and integration between ARKHAUS and Arkup, enabling them to work together and build the respective businesses.

In the coming weeks, The Ark Companies’ management will unveil a new vision for Arkup – a future that is elevated by a cast of best-in-class partners across design, engineering, materials, and shipbuilding.
