Yacht Club Trailers: 50 Years of Excellence and Innovation
Since its founding in 1976 by Roger and Dean Harklau in Humboldt, Iowa, Yacht Club Trailers has been a leader in manufacturing high-quality trailers for pontoons, boats, and personal watercraft (PWC). Over the years, the company has weathered ownership changes and even a devastating fire in July 2020. Yet, through it all, Yacht Club Trailers has remained synonymous with quality, driven by a dedicated team of employees who take immense pride in their craft.
A New Era: HTC Group Ltd. Acquires Yacht Club Trailers
In October 2022, a new chapter began for Yacht Club Trailers when HTC Group Ltd., formed by Scott Harklau, Ben Harklau, Dustin Harklau, and Tanner Thompson, acquired the company. The acquisition was made possible through the collaboration of the principal owners of SH Distributing, all of whom are Humboldt County Iowa, natives. With this acquisition, their top priorities were clear: keep operations in Humboldt, enhance product development, forge new partnerships, and seize new opportunities for growth.
Since the acquisition, Yacht Club Trailers has continued its proud tradition, producing nearly 1 million top-quality trailers for dealers across the nation.
