Setting Sail with a Boat Club: What Is It Exactly?

The Basics of a Boat Club

A boat club is a smart, hassle-free way to enjoy boating without the stress and expense of ownership. Instead of buying a boat, you join a club that gives you access to a professionally maintained fleet. At our Jupiter-based club, we offer flexible membership options designed to fit your lifestyle—whether you're looking for a full season on the water or just a few select outings.

How Boat Clubs Differ from Owning a Boat

They say the two happiest days in a boat owner’s life are the day they buy it… and the day they sell it. Owning a boat means dealing with storage, maintenance, depreciation, cleaning, and insurance—not to mention unexpected repairs.

At our boat club, you avoid all of that. You show up, your boat is clean, fueled, and ready. When you return, you hand us the keys and walk away. Our staff handles everything from fueling and engine maintenance to routine cleaning and dockside support.

Local vs. National Clubs: Why Jupiter Wins

Some boat clubs offer access across the country. But we're proudly local, based right here in Jupiter, Florida, surrounded by one of the best boating destinations in the U.S. Our marina is a stone’s throw from Jupiter’s famous sandbars, waterfront restaurants, and a quick ICW ride to Peanut Island to the south or Manatee Pocket to the North.

Love to fish? We're just a mile from the Jupiter Inlet for world-class offshore access, and close to inshore hotspots like Mosquito Lagoon and the Loxahatchee, perfect for chasing snook, redfish, or tarpon.

As a family centric business, we prioritize personalized service. From an onsite boat club representative to our fully staffed and stocked ship store, we’re here to make every outing seamless and enjoyable.

Decoding the Cost of Boat Club Memberships

No need to worry about monthly payments or surprise fees. Choose from flexible membership terms—2 years, 1 year, 6 months, or even a 12-use package. Pay once upfront, and the only ongoing cost is fuel. That’s it.

What's Included?

Our membership includes full access to our fleet, personalized concierge service, dockside assistance, and full use of our marina amenities.

And unlike other clubs, we offer complimentary one-on-one boater safety training. Whether you're brand new or want to brush up on your docking or trailering skills, just reach out to our ship store and schedule a time to go out and practice.

Is It Actually Affordable?

Our members tell us all the time—this is the most cost-effective way to boat in Jupiter. Instead of spending tens of thousands on a boat (plus maintenance, storage, and repairs), you get all the benefits without any of the hassle. Whether you're on the water every weekend or just want to cruise once a month, you’ll find that the experience pays for itself quickly.

A Fleet at Your Fingertips

Our fleet is packed with a variety of high-quality boats, including center consoles, deck boats, and pontoons. We don’t have sailboats—we focus on the types of vessels our members actually use and enjoy here in Jupiter.

Safety, Training, and Concierge Service

We want you to feel comfortable every time you leave the dock. That’s why we offer complimentary boater safety training to all members—no matter your experience level. Our concierge team will help load your gear, get you set up for fishing, or prep your cooler for a sunset cruise.

Social Events, Community Perks, and More

Being a member means more than just having access to boats—it means joining a community. From dockside BBQs and local tournaments to sunset cruises and social meetups, we keep our calendar full of ways to connect and make memories.
