At Gulf Stream Boat Club, we’re always looking for ways to make your membership more rewarding — not just on Florida’s waters, but wherever life takes you.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with Nautical Boat Club®, expanding your boating privileges across the country!
This collaboration means Gulf Stream Boat Club members can now enjoy reciprocal access to high-quality boats at Nautical Boat Club locations nationwide — and Nautical Boat Club members can experience the same five-star service at our exclusive Gulf Stream locations here in Florida.
“This agreement sets a new bar within the boating community,” says Gulf Stream Chief Executive Officer Alex Warner. “It’s the first time two clubs of this caliber have aligned to expand benefits for members, and it underscores both our mutual dedication to innovation and our belief that the best experiences are meant to be shared.”
Get to know Nautical Boat Club
Nautical Boat Club is a collection of premium boating clubs located throughout the United States, known for their country-club-style experience on the water. Founded more than 25 years ago, Nautical Boat Club operates in 25+ locations across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and beyond.
Like Gulf Stream Boat Club, they believe in stress-free, concierge-style boating — where members simply show up, step aboard, and enjoy a ready-to-go boat without the hassles of ownership, maintenance, or storage.
Their fleet includes a curated mix of center consoles, luxury tri-toons, surf and wake boats, and sporty deck boats, all meticulously maintained and fueled for a day on the water.
In short, they share our passion for a seamless, elevated boating experience — and that’s what makes this collaboration such a natural fit.

How Reciprocal Access Works
Booking a Boat
- Reservations are made through your GBC Manager
- Your manager will coordinate the booking with the destination club
- Each participating club offers a selection of boats available for reciprocal members, typically similar to your home fleet. Availability varies by location and season, so booking in advance is encouraged.
How Often Can You Go?
- Members can enjoy up to four (4) reciprocal outings per year, with one visit per month maximum.
Costs & Membership Use
- No extra fees — reciprocal visits use your existing boating hours.
- Unlimited plan members are fully covered.
Orientation & Safety
- A brief local orientation is provided at each Nautical Boat Club before your first outing.
Weather or Schedule Changes
- Cancellations follow the local Club’s policies. Your Gulf Stream manager can assist with rescheduling if needed.
Proof of Membership
- Bring your photo ID, proof of Gulf Stream membership, and any required boating certification (varies by state).
Insurance and Damage Waiver
- Comprehensive Liability insurance is covered under the NBC x GBC agreement. However, damage to our boats is not. You have the option to opt into our damage waiver for a $50 fee, which limits your financial responsibility if something happens to the boat.
How is fuel handled?
- Your credit card information will be taken by the GBC manager and kept on file, and this card will be used to bill for fuel. You are responsible for the fuel burned during your outing.
