  • I got the membership as a birthday present and it has been the best! Multiple locations and great boat availability make it the best in South Florida! And the staff are friendly, efficient and make it so that you have a great day out on the water. Highly recommended.

  • Been a member here for about a year and a half now- one of the best decisions I made since moving to South Florida. 200 bucks a month for the base level plus sign up fees which vary, you get a 21' center console (cobia) or sport boat with canopy (Hurricane). Alex is the best attendant here- always super helpful. The thing to do in South Florida. Also nice that you can take the boats out from Miami (Rickenbacker Causeway).
