Many people love boating but do not consider it something they want to be burdened with all year round. Changing oil, winterizing, trailering, and all of the other "not so fun" parts of boat ownership make that precious time when you are actually on the water seem less worth it. Now, you don't have to worry about those things! For a great deal less money, you can have your boating fun and leave the rest to us!

Most boat owners don't want to acknowledges the true cost of boat ownership, or the the time that they lose fixing the boat that they could be spending with their family out on the water. No Matter if you want to join for one year or for 5 years, the boat club really is the best deal in the Lakes Region, not only do you save ~$20k in the first year, and over $100k in 5 years, but you avoid all the problems and headaches of boat ownership.
This table is only meant to help illustrate the costs for comparison, actually cost of boat ownership vary wildly.
