Tere is much truth to the old saying, “A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into.” Although many of us enjoy the benefits of boating, most people have an aversion to the maintenance and cost of ownership. So, what’s a want-tobe sailor man or woman to do? The easy and affordable answer is — Boat Clubs. Regardless of the club you join, the only job you have is enjoying a day of cruising around on your favorite lake or bobbing on the ocean. You just toss boating headaches like fueling, cleaning, maintenance, and storage right overboard — so to speak.

Questions to Ask Before Joining a Boat Club

As is the case when buying any product or service, you need to do your homework. The same holds true when you sign up for a Boat Club. Find out exactly what you are getting for your membership fee. For example, ask if you need additional insurance or licenses as well as all the rules — from picking up a boat to returning it. If you have children, ask about available family activities and safety programs.

Once you decide what plan suits your boating needs, you are ready to book a skiing, fishing, or socializing trip on the water — locally or wherever your club has boating options.
