A sunny locale, salty sea breezes, or the calmness of the local lake are all great places to spend some time on the water with friends and family. When you’re done swimming and lounging in the sun on shore, you may want to get out and do some fishing, water skiing, tubing, or other activity that takes you to deeper waters. Make all of it easier with a membership to Carefree Boat Club. Here are the top 5 advantages of a boat club membership.
Convenience
You may be able to keep a smaller vessel in your garage at home, but you have to transport it every time you want to use it. You may attempt to purchase a slip at a local marina, but you may end up on a seemingly never-ending wait list. You can skip all the headaches when you join Carefree Boat Club. Each boat has its own slip, and you’ll find your boat in the same place every time you come to use it.
There are people who love sailing, others who have a need for speed, and others who want to spend some time floating with a rod and reel in their hand. If you feel the need for speed on Friday but would rather go for a leisurely sail or fishing excursion on Sunday, you don’t have to own each kind of boat yourself. Your boat club membership advantages gives you access to our large fleet of all types of boats.
Don’t worry about watching the clock while you’re out at sea, either. Your reservation comes with unlimited use throughout the course of the reservation. You won’t have to worry about filling up the tank before heading out – the vessel was cleaned and fueled prior to your arrival. Take the boat out for a quick spin or spend all day soaking up the sun.
Cost
Fees pile up when it comes to boating, including local and/or state sales tax, insurance, licensing, registration, maintenance and repair, dock and storage fees, transportation costs, and more. Membership to Carefree Boat Club includes a one-time up-front fee, and a flat annual fee thereafter. The fee covers all those costs you’d face on your own, and you have access to the best and most up-to-date models each time you visit. Service
Carefree Boat Club has a large staff dedicated to customer service at of our California locations. There’s also a separate maintenance team to handle repairs quickly and efficiently should a problem arise so you can get back out on the water. Experienced rental agents make sure your experience is the best from the time they hand you the keys to the time you hand them back.
Education and Safety
If it’s your first time at the helm, or it’s been a while since your last trip, you’re going to need some pointers. From backing out of the marina slip to your adventure at sea and pulling back into the slip at the end of the day, you need to know how to operate safely and legally.
State or local laws also require operators of a certain age to hold a boating certificate prior to operating in the waters there. Your Carefree Boat Club membership includes teaching you how to operate the boat safely and legally in accordance with state and local laws. Our staff can help you obtain personal licenses and certificates in accordance with those laws.
Updated Stock
When you set sail, no matter what type of vessel you choose, be rest assured everything is safe, well-maintained, and up to date. Becoming a member of Carefree Boat Club means you’re getting the best of the best whenever you board one of our vessels. Your membership fee goes toward maintaining our current fleet so it’s safe, clean, and in working order when you arrive, but also helps finance the purchase of some of the best boats the industry has to offer with the latest technology and advancements in construction and safety.
Bonus: Year-Round Boating
To us, this is always a bonus! When you own a boat, you’re typically the one in charge of transporting it from place to place, launching it, pulling it out of the water, and all the rest. It limits when and where you can boat. If you live primarily in a cold-weather climate where lakes freeze or the weather isn’t fit for boating, you may be boating only two or three months out of the year. Ownership becomes expensive compared to the time you get to use your vessel.
When you join a boat club like Carefree Boat Club, you don’t have the stress and headache of transporting your boat long distances so you can spend time on the water. Visit your local club and be out on the water in no time!
