Whether you’re behind the helm or holding down the snack cooler, every great boat day has one thing in common: the crew. And let’s face it—everyone has their role.
At Gulf Stream Boat Club, we’ve seen all kinds of boat-day personalities, from the full-speed-ahead planners to the easy-breezy floaters. So… what’s your boating style?
Let this guide see what type of GBC boater you are!
The Cruise Director
Organized, upbeat, and always in charge of the itinerary! You have mapped out the route, prepped the schedule, and texted your crew three reminders. You also know the tides, the best sandbars, and where to dock for lunch!
Go-To Move: Booking the boat 90 days out and requesting the perfect center console.
Signs you’re a Cruise Director:
- You say “lines ready” and “10 minutes to shove off” unironically.
- You’ve printed a waterproof float plan.
- You know how to tie at least three knots.
The Snack Pack Leader
Fun-loving, generous, and never shows up empty-handed. You always bring the cooler with the best snacks! You are also the reason the boat smells like fresh fruit, sunscreen, and delicious food!
Go-To Move: Picking a boat with plenty of deck space for your coolers.
Signs you’re the Snack Pack Leader:
- Your cooler is organized by snack category.
- You know which marina restaurants offer dockside takeout.
- You say “Who wants a bite?” every 20 minutes.
The Bluetooth Boss
Chill, vibey, and always in charge of the aux! Your playlists always set the mood from sunrise to sunset. Whether it’s yacht rock or reggae, you’re the onboard DJ, and you take requests (as long as they fit the vibe).
Go-To Move: Making a playlist for every type of occasion!
Signs you’re the Bluetooth Boss:
- You have multiple backup speakers.
- You’ve named a playlist after every crew member.
- You use the phrase “soundtrack to the sea.”
The Captain (With or Without the Hat)
Confident, calm, and behind the helm—literally. You are either an actual licensed captain or just love being behind the helm. Safety is always your top priority, with style a close second.
Go-To Move: Choosing a boat with dual engines and a full navigation system.
Signs you’re the Captain:
- You check the marine forecast before your weather app.
- You say “stand by” instead of “hold on.”
- You actually enjoy docking.
The Float & Chill
Laid-back, sun-loving, and there for a good time. You are all about the vibes! If the anchor’s down and the music’s up, you’re in your element.
Go-To Move: Booking a boat with a Bimini top and an easy ladder.
Signs you’re Float & Chill:
- You brought an inflatable flamingo and a noodle.
- You apply SPF 50 like it’s your job.
- You say “This is the life” at least twice a trip.
