How it Works

We Take Care of It All…
Including the Boats

We’ve taken care to select a variety of quality boats. We always keep them clean and maintained. We also take care of the storage, insurance, and repairs so you can just focus on the fun!

Pay a 1x Entry Fee and Monthly Dues

Just pay a 1x entry fee and choose one of our membership plans. Boat every day of the year. Or just weekdays. Some clubs may even have 3 and 6 month plans. You can change your plan as the need arises.

Get Unlimited Training from Licensed Captains

Your safety is our #1 concern. We give all our members unlimited training with USCG-certified captains. If you wish to boat in a new location, they’ll show you the waterways.

Take Any Boat Out as Often as You Wish

Reserve a boat online or by phone. Then go fishing, tubing, or head to a restaurant with friends. When you’re done, just bring the boat back and pay for the fuel. We take care of everything else!
