< back to How The Club Works
Who is Your Boat Club?
My partners and I have over 50 years experience in the Marine Industry. During that time we have watched many families leave boating due to ever increasing costs and demands on their free time. We have been and will always be boaters, and we understand the value of time on the water. Your Boat Club is designed to provide families affordable, hassle free boating with UNLIMITED USAGE.
Why would I choose a boat club membership over owning a boat?
Your membership gives you the ability to have the best of three worlds: fishing, skiing, and the use of pontoons. With your membership, you eliminate the high cost of maintenance, insurance, storage, winterization, and the most costly, depreciation. In addition, your membership provides you the boat of your choice within the parameters of the level you have chosen with UNLIMITED amounts of boating use.
How often can I use a boat?
You have no limitations to the number of times you are able to use a boat. Your membership choices are based on two levels. The first level, Explorer I, provides you as a member the ability to make one concurrent reservation at a time and have unlimited spontaneous usage based on availability. The Voyager III, gives you as a member the choice of three concurrent reservations allowing you to reserve a long weekend or three single day uses plus UNLIMITED spontaneous boating.
How do I as a member guarantee the use of the boat of my choice when I want it?
Your reservations are always guaranteed*. When you are interested in making a reservation, you simply go online and check the availability of the type of boat you desire to use for that day on a first come first served basis. Once a reservation is made, a confirmation is e-mailed to you. A follow up e-mail is sent to you two days before your event confirming it will be ready for your use.
*Reservations are guaranteed to the best of our ability, possible exceptions may be but are not limited to: Act of God, large scale equipment failure, vandalism or other events out of our control.
What type of boats will I get to choose from?
Our members have a variety of boating choices. Both Explorer I and Voyager III members can choose from any of the fleet of boats within the Pier level their membership allows. The Team at Your Boat Club will always strive to provide the best possible equipment for the money.

Where do I get the boat I want to use?
Your Boat Club members have three options:
1. Use the boat on the body of water the club you belong to is located, (where applicable).
2. Come to the location, pick up the boat and trailer the boat to the location you desire.
3. At the time of your reservation check the designated box indicating specifically to notify our staff you would like a boat delivered to you for an additional charge. This also eliminates the hassles of parking, launching and loading a boat and provides you maximum time on the water.
What happens if the boat stops working?
To minimize the risk of equipment failure, Your Boat Club's policy is to replace each fleet of boats every three years. While each boat is in service, it is meticulously maintained and cared for. In the event of equipment failure, it is imperative that the member is responsible for returning the boat to the club. Replacements and other arrangements will be made on a case-by-case scenario. Your boat club also has a 24-hour emergency contact person to assist you with whatever you need.
Does the boat include accessories?
You are provided with all the necessary safety equipment according to you and your passengers needs. This includes the following: Life vests, Anchor and Line, Dock bumpers, mooring lines, launch lines, and fire extinguisher.
You will also have the availability to purchase or rent additional equipment for your boating pleasures at each location. Some of these items will include the following: Tow ropes, skis, ski vests, inner tubes, and kneeboards.
Can you deliver a boat for me?
Absolutely. Your membership was designed to cater to you personally on an individual basis. Your membership affords you even the ability to have our staff meet you at the launch of your choice. Speak to your club representative for additional information and charges.
Can I use two boats at once?
Yes, Voyager III members can use two concurrent reservations and use multiple boats at one time as long as the operators meet and comply with all requirements before reservation is made.
Are there any other fees?
The only additional costs you will incur are the replacement costs of the fuel you used and any damage to the equipment above normal wear and tear. You must return the boat with a full tank of gas. You may also choose the option to have it filled at the club. There is an additional fee for this service.
Which membership level is right for me?
Your membership level is a very personal choice. You may want to consider your individual needs or families needs. Based on what those needs are, we have a team of people who can assist you in making the right choice.
What happens if it rains?
You, as a member have the choice to cancel your reservation at any time. Once you have completed the term of one reservation, you may, as a member, add an additional reservation.
