You're going to receive a welcome email from us that contains information about your preferred club as well as pricing—check your spam folder if you can't find it right away! A member of our team will contact you by phone, email or text to discuss your vision of boating and how we can make it a reality. Here are some examples of questions you should ask us: How does your pricing compare to other boat clubs? Can I join even if I've never driven a boat before? What kind of boats are available at the Club near me? How easy is it to get a reservation? Can I see how much availability there is at my preferred club before I commit? Are there any extra fees or restrictions on your memberships? You may have many other questions too, but if you're shopping around these are great questions to start with!
What’s included in a membership?
Memberships include a complimentary on-the-water orientation and safety session with one of our experienced staff members, and GBC swag like a long-sleeved sun shirt and hat! When you join you’ll select a home club where you’ll make the majority of your reservations, but you can also reserve at our other locations, which means you’ve got our entire fleet at your fingertips. We also host regular giveaways and special contests for members only so make sure you read our e-newsletter when it hits your inbox! Members may receive a fuel credit when your friends and family join at our available Clubs. Follow us on Instagram to see our weekend availability every Wednesday!
I heard some locations are full. What does that mean for me?
In order to provide all of our members with the best possible boat club experience, we limit the number of memberships available at each location. This way, we’re better able to ensure that members are able to reserve the boats they want, when they want. When a location is full, prospective new members are added to a waitlist based on the date of their inquiry. If the location you’re interested in is full and you don’t wish to wait, you can join at another location while remaining on the waitlist for your preferred location. Members can reserve boats at any of locations, regardless of their home club, with some restrictions.
How will you use my information?
Before you join, we’ll use your name, email, phone number and any other information you disclose to us for the purposes of contacting about Gulfstream Boat Club membership and promotions only. After you join, we’ll use your information to update you about information pertinent to the Club. We’ll send you updates about your reservations, cancellations, membership renewals, plus weather and Club closures, new boats added to the fleet, new locations available for reservations and special promotions. Make sure you add marketing@gulfstreamboatclub.com and sales@gulfstreamboatclub.com to your contacts to ensure you don’t miss any important updates from us! We will never, ever sell or share your information with any third party. If at any point you wish to be removed from our promotions mailing list, contact marketing@gulfstreamboatclub.com, or hit the unsubscribe button in the email.
Which boats are the best for me?
Whether you're an experienced boater who's owned boats in the past, an out of practice boater who hasn't been behind the helm in a while, or a new boater who's looking to get their feet wet, we've got a boat for everyone. View our whole fleet here. We have a variety of boats, ranging in size from 21 to 28' (our larger boats up to 43' require a captain!) We have pontoons—ideal for larger groups of family and friends with lots of comfortable shaded seating, best suited to a relaxed day of cruising or anchoring up at a sandbar. We have dual consoles—family friendly boats that have plenty of comfortable seating in and out of the sun, plus lots of storage for snacks and drinks. And we have center consoles—great for taking offshore or to a snorkeling spot, with comfortable seating in the sun and well-equipped for fishing.
