American Boat Club

Boat clubs make a lot of sense for many people. Show up with your stuff, load and go. No trailering, no maintence, any problems are someone else’s...

I know people with memberships in Florida. One really nice feature is they can use the boat that fits their needs for the day. Scenic trip? Take a pontoon boat. Headed out to fish - center console is ready to go...

It sounds like a pretty good deal for the right person, esp now where they are waiving the $1200 sign on fee. It gives you the option to try it out for a season to see if it's right for you.

It is especially when a slip alone at Akwa Vista is about 4k

I'm a mechanic so I do service and winterize my own boat which is a chore. But for the average boat owner that relies on a marina to do these things and the cost of the boat it's a good deal. Like I said, esp with the fee being waived.
