How Much Does a Boat Club Cost in South Florida?
Real published numbers: what South Florida Boat Club membership costs, what’s included, and the only cost you pay on the water.
If you’re comparing boat clubs in South Florida, the honest answer to “what does it cost?” has three parts: the entry fee, the monthly dues, and what you pay each time you take a boat out. Here are our real, published numbers.
South Florida Boat Club pricing
The Boat Club plan is $199 a month in membership dues, with an entry fee as low as $1,200. It covers center consoles, bow riders and deck boats up to 23 feet.
The Cruiser Club plan is $299 a month in dues, with an entry fee as low as $1,200, and moves you up to boats up to 27 feet — including the Hurricane sundecks.
Annual, Seasonal and Partnership plans are available, and after your contract you can stay month-to-month.
What you pay on the water: fuel. That’s it.
There are no daily usage charges for members. Your only cost when you take a boat out is the fuel you use. Storage, dockage, maintenance, insurance, taxes and cleaning are all handled by the club — the things boat owners hate to do and pay for.
What’s included in the dues
- Initial on-the-water training and new-boater safety courses
- Boat insurance
- 24/7 online reservations, with guaranteed bookings up to six months in advance
- Before-hours boat access
- Fleet access at all four locations — Miami, Fort Lauderdale, North Miami and Pompano Beach
How that compares
Other South Florida boat clubs publish different structures — some with higher monthly dues, larger one-time entry fees, or per-trip charges. The cleanest comparison is to add up a year of any club’s dues plus its usage fees, then compare against a year here: twelve months of dues, fuel, and nothing else.
