Boat Club Memberships
Boat Days Without Owning a Boat
Our boat club in Cape Coral is for people who want regular days on the water without buying a boat. Members use boats from the same fleet we rent at our private marina, with no purchase, insurance, maintenance or storage to think about. It's a flexible way to boat through the season, whether that's a few weekends or most of the winter, and members can even keep a boat at their house for several days in a row. Join the club or call (239) 758-9512 with questions.

How a Boat Club Membership Works
A membership gives you a set number of boat days to use on our fleet. You book your day, pick up at the marina from 9am, and bring the boat back by 5pm.
Plans come in 10, 15, 20 and 30-day options. Call us for current plan details.

Mix It Up
Switch Boats Whenever You Like
As a member you aren't stuck with one kind of boat. Take the family out on a deck boat this weekend, then go fishing with friends in a center console next week. Prefer a slow day on the canals? A pontoon is there too.
Keep the Boat for Several Days in a Row
Members can book a boat for multiple days in a row and keep it at their house or vacation home during that time. Tie it up at your own dock and head out whenever the weather and tides look good, with no trips back to the marina between outings. It's one of the things that sets our club apart, and we don't know of another boat club that offers it.
Ownership vs Club
Boat Club vs Owning a Boat
Owning a boat comes with costs that keep going long after you buy it. A membership skips them:
We own the fleet and take care of the upkeep, and boats are cleaned between uses. You show up, enjoy the day and hand the keys back. Parking at the marina is free, so leave the car and head down the dock. The walkway, ramp and floating docks are accessible, too.
| Cost | Owning a Boat | Boat Club |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase | Pay full price for the boat up front | No boat to buy |
| Insurance | $450 to $2,500 a year to insure a boat | $0 insurance to carry |
| Maintenance | Can reach almost $2,500 a year | $0 maintenance. We look after the fleet |
| Storage | Storage or slip fees all year | $0 storage or slip fees |
| Depreciation | Loses almost 20% of its value before it even hits the water | No depreciation |
| Boat choice | One boat | Switch between boat types |
The Boat Club Is for Everyone

- Snowbirds who spend months in Southwest Florida

How does the boat club work?
You join, then use your membership days on boats from our fleet. Book a day, pick up at our marina and return by 5pm.
Can members keep a boat for more than one day?
Yes. Members can book a boat for several days in a row and keep it at their house or vacation home for the whole stretch.
Which boats can members use?
Members can use boats from our rental fleet, including pontoons, deck boats and center consoles, and switch between them.
Is a boat club cheaper than owning a boat?
Members skip the purchase, insurance, maintenance, storage and depreciation that come with owning. Call us for current membership details so you can compare.
Do I need a boating card to be a member?
Members follow the same Florida rule as renters: anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 needs a Boating Safety Education ID card or an accepted alternative to operate the boat.
