Frequently Asked Questions
A boat club is a members-only group that offers access to a fleet of boats for a membership fee, typically an initiation fee and monthly dues. The concept is similar to the traditional golfing country club.
In business for 30 years, Nautical Boat Club®, LLC, was one of the pioneers in the boat-club industry. We bring our members all of the fun of the boating lifestyle with none of the expense and stress of boat ownership. We’re the only boat club to offer the BOATING COUNTRY CLUB® experience: We own, insure, outfit and maintain a full fleet of sleek, new boats, as well as a treasure chest of water toys, like skis, wakeboards, tubes, jackets, etc. We offer annual memberships for unlimited use of our fleet and complimentary use of our water toys, along with premium dockside valet service. And, to join, you simply pay a one-time membership fee and monthly dues.
Boat rentals charge you every time you use a boat, boat leasing typically applies to a single, specific boat, and boat timeshares limit when and how often you can use their boats. Our BOATING COUNTRY CLUB® membership gives you UNLIMITED USE OF A WIDE VARIETY OF SHINY NEW BOATS, 300+ DAYS OF THE YEAR.
- Best availability: We offer unlimited boating and fulfill over 97% of all reservation requests, which means less planning and more playing for you.
- Best boats: We offer all members a sensational selection of boats for different kinds of recreation, and we buy new boats annually, so you always have the latest top-of- the-line boats to take for a spin.
- Free water toys & guest privileges: We provide complimentary use of a vast array of water toys at your request, and you can bring as many guests as the boat’s capacity with no additional fees.
- Gorgeous marinas: All of our marinas are top-notch, providing beautiful, clean, family- fun-friendly environments.
- Premium valet service: Our courteous dockhands are happy to help you load and unload, answer your questions or offer other guidance. Wherever you can use a helping hand, they’re there to make sure your day is great.
In addition to unlimited use of our fleet of fully outfitted boats, your membership includes complimentary use of water toys, free guest privileges, insurance, maintenance, safety equipment and instruction, boat training, premium dockside valet service, free parking, social activities and club events… not to mention countless hours of fun at the lake and memories to last a lifetime.
During our company’s 30-year history, we have collectively fulfilled over 150,000 reservation requests, with every one of our locations fulfilling more than 97% of reservation requests since the day they opened. We’re the only boat club with this type of track record – it’s one of the key reasons why our members love us and give us such great reviews.
To join Nautical Boat Club®, you’ll begin with a one-time membership fee, followed by monthly dues.

Regardless, your total cost will be only about 1/3 the cost of boat ownership.
