hi, i’m skip!

They say the only thing better than owning a boat is, having a friend with a boat. Well, I am like that friend- but with over 400 boats! My name is Skip, and I’m here to make boating fun and easy. I represent the YBC Family and their combined 1,000 years of boating expertise and passion, and we sure do love boating! From casting a line on a brisk Tuesday morning to weekend lounging on the sun-soaked deck of a pontoon to cruising with the wind in my hair on a speedboat, there’s so much to love about boating. If you’re here, you probably will love boating too! Let me explain how Your Boat Club can help you enjoy boating just like I do.

What is Your boat club?

Quite simply, it’s the smartest way to boat! No matter your lifestyle, Your Boat Club has a membership option for you. We take the hassle out of boating and let you enjoy the best parts of being on the water. Whether you want to enjoy early morning fishing, afternoon weekday pontoon cruises, or weekend speedboat adventures, we have a Membership package to suit your needs. Let me show you!

Let’s Go Boating!

The feeling of being on the water belongs to everyone.

Here at YBC, we have figured out how to make boating accessible, hassle-free, and as fun as possible! Read on to learn how!

The Science Behind YBC

Not only do we have the nicest and newest fleet of boats (the average age of our fleet is under 18 months), but our staff provides the highest levels of customer service in the industry.  Rigid Member-to-boat ratios and capacity monitoring will ensure the best boating experience.  Whether you want to return to the water or become a boating family, we’ve got you covered!

so, How Does It Work?

The most important factor in a club, or sharing business model is efficient use of the assets.  We want our members to enjoy great availability and we want our boats to be enjoyed as much as possible.  The YBC Membership model continuously evolves, and as we gain efficiency, we can offer a better service to our Members at a better value. 

All memberships in Your Boat Club have two main components, Membership Type and Pier Level.

  • Membership Type - This determines when you can access the boats and how many reservations you can have at any one time.

  • Pier Level - This outlines how many and what size or type of boats you have access to.

Membership Type

People value different time slots and on-water activities differently, so we have three membership types: Explorer, Executive, and Early Bird. What kind of Member are you? Read on to find out!

Pier Level

I’m sure you understand that location, demand, water conditions, boat size, and boat type can all significantly impact our operating costs.  Our fleet is split into separate groupings called Piers: Pier 1 to Pier 4.  Typically as you go up in Pier, you get access to more boats, the boats get bigger and nicer. This is how we keep costs down and keep it fair for everyone in the club.

We are boaters and we love boating! We believe the variety of our locations and boating experiences, should be accessible to all of our Members.  So, every location will have at least one Pier 1 boat.  Each location has a recommended Pier level that will assure great boat availability and a fleet paired for the experience and water conditions for both safety and enjoyment. 

Fleet Management

The boats in each Pier are based on our target or ideal fleet at each location during peak boating season and peak demand. The exact fleet makeup may vary at any particular time for a couple of reasons:

  • Boats break and are sometimes damaged, needing to be pulled out of service for repairs.

  • Boats age out of our fleet. We are constantly replacing and upgrading with new boats, which at times will not be the exact same make or model. This is how we provide the nicest and newest boats!

We consistently adjust our fleet to best match demand, ensuring our Members the best possible availability. Managing our fleet is certainly one of the most important and challenging aspects of our business, we understand how it directly impacts your experience and enjoyment, and we are pretty darn good at it. We know boats, it what we do.

PICK, CLICK, and GO BOATING!

IT’S THAT EASY

We’ve built an easy-to-use online reservation system that helps you manage your Membership and explore our many locations. You simply log in, pick your location, click on the boat you want to use, and show up and go boating! Check out this simple walk-through video tutorial of the system and find out for yourself.

Our Members Come First

We take care of our Members first, meaning that once you are in the Club, we  will make sure we find the right Membership for you. We make it easy for members to move between membership Type and Pier, so if your family’s needs or schedules change “no worries”. 

What have you got to lose?  Join the club, Your Boat Club, because when it comes to boating, we’ve got your back!

So, what are you waiting for?

It looks like we are going to sell out of memberships early this year!

Memberships are filling up fast, and missing out would be your only regret.  Don’t go another year without boating in your life!

Please don’t hesitate to let us walk you through how it works or answer any questions you may have.  Our staff excels at finding the perfect Membership for you. Just click the button below and let us know what type of boating interests you, and together we will make it happen!
