NEW BOATS

Our custom “Beach Weekend Boat Club App” allows you to schedules reservations as well as add additional services, such as ice, watersport activities, and more!
PAYS FOR ITSELF
There isn’t a better way to experience the boating lifestyle! The cost savings are tremendous, and you don’t have the hassle of boat ownership…just all of the joys!
THE FACTS
- Statistically, the average boat owner only uses their vessel 6-8 times per year after the first 6 months of ownership. And it’s even less after the second year.
- Less than 5% of the boats stored at a marina are actually launched on the average weekend and less than 25% even get used at all.
- Trailering your boat to a ramp will cause you to spend on average 3 hours in doing the normal maintenance before and after usage, such as cleaning, check batteries, fueling your vessel, last minute this & that needs, and towing! This will naturally leave you less time out on the water, doing what you love to do!
- Studies show less than 5% of friends that are taken out on the water will help clean the boat and refuel it. After all, you invited them!
- Maintenance is always a sore thumb in boat ownership. Extensive repairs that can be costly are always a risk that you take by owning your own boat.

HOW TO ENJOY THE CLUB?
- First off, start by making a reservation online or through the App twenty-four hours in advance (up to 6 months), then select the type of boat and date at either of our Florida locations. Or, you may call the marina to make your reservation and our friendly staff will assist you.
- The Club is set up to give the most opportunities for you to boat on your schedule. You will receive 4 advanced rolling reservations, which never run out. We simply replace each one as you use it. There are NO limits to how many times per month you can use the 4 reservations or how many times you can use the boats. So feel free to make 4 reservations and we will have your boat ready to go on the water! It’s that easy!
- Another significant benefit to membership is you can call the dock on a whim, or simply show up at the marina…the same day and book any available boat even if you haven’t made a reservation! This is perfect for those that have flexible schedules and decide on short notice to go out on the water. If you already have 4 reservations for a later time, a walk-on doesn’t cancel any of them!
- Our club is the most advantageous way to enjoy the beautiful Florida waters whether you’re in the Keys, or the Panhandle.

Beach Weekend Boat Club members boat 3-5 times more than the boat owner and have none of the responsibilities.
Who cleans the boat?
We clean the boat, which normally consumes two thirds of a boat owner’s boat day, leaving only one third spent enjoying the water. As a Beach Weekend Boat Club member, 100% of your time will be enjoying the water.
Do I have to handle any maintenance?
We do all the required maintenance on the vessels; a boat owner’s average annual cost of maintenance is 15% of the purchase price of the boat.
Do I have to store the boat?
We store the boat. Just getting a slip for a boat for the season costs thousands of dollars, and that’s if a slip is even available. With the Beach Weekend Boat Club membership, you have none of the hassles of trailering a boat, or unnecessary costs of paying for a boat slip.
