What is a Boat Club?
Members have the same benefits of boat ownership, but do not have the cost or hassle that goes with it. The club owns the boats and takes care of the drudgery that comes with boat ownership. Club responsibilities include maintenance, cleaning, insurance, storage, dockage, on the water tow cost, etc. Members are responsible for their gas usage. We provide a fun boating experience at a fraction of the cost and without the frustration. This means more time to play on the water with family and friends.
How do I know boats will be available?
The online reservation system gives all members have equal access to boats. Our contracts GUARANTEE you at least your contracted reservation limit every month (even if everyone uses ALL of their available reservations). This means we will accept only enough memberships to allow us to do better than that guarantee.
Members can make guaranteed reservations up to six months in advance. On top of that, We will continue to add boats as the membership grows to make sure we have plenty of availability!
How do I make reservations?
Reservations are made by our members on this website or by calling Bill at 251.533.6431.
Is there a limit on the number of reservations you can make?
No. Our membership plans allow unlimited boat access all year long.
What if I already own a boat?
If you own a boat and are interested in reducing the cost and frustration, ask about how the club can help.
Who can go with me on the boat?
Anyone you want, as long as the boat safety limit is not exceeded. Take your friends, family, the kids, business clients, etc. As long as a qualified member is present, you take who you like. It's your boat!
Can my membership have more than one qualified member?
Yes. Qualified members need to be 21 or older, and have an accepted application on file with CoastMasters.
How much past boating experience do I need to become a member?
Your skill level does not matter for membership, from the novice to the experienced boater. The orientation and check out ride(s) that come with your membership will be tailored to ensure that you are comfortable with the boat. Additional instruction and help is always available to help you gain skills, if you wish.
