A boat club in Delray Beach usually means an entry fee, monthly dues, fuel billed per trip, and a boat you drive yourself. The Delray Beach Boat Club works the other way around. You prepay a package of trips. You pick any boat in the fleet. Our USCG-licensed captain drives. There are no monthly dues.

Members get our best charter rates and first pick of boats on busy dates. The club is built for people who want to be on the water often without owning, docking, or driving a boat.

Call or text (954) 299-5455 to ask about membership. We answer 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week.

 

How the Delray Beach Boat Club Works

  1. You choose a trip package. We offer a 5-trip package and a 10-trip package.
  2. You call, text, or book online when you want to go out. Members get priority on available boats.
  3. You pick any boat, from a 22-foot day boat to a 52-foot yacht departing Delray Beach or Boca Raton, or a larger yacht from our South Florida fleet.
  4. Our captain runs the trip. On boats 36 feet and up, a crew member comes too.
  5. You pay no monthly dues, slip fees, or maintenance.

Trips can be 3 to 4 hours, 6 to 8 hours, or a sunset cruise. Fuel and captain are included. Gratuity for the crew is extra on each trip.

Boat Club vs. Dues-Based Clubs vs. Owning

Dues-based boat clubs. You pay an entry fee, then monthly dues whether you boat or not, then fuel on each outing. You drive the boat yourself. Most club boats top out around 24 feet. Good for people who want to captain. Expensive for people who go out a handful of times a year.

Owning a boat. Purchase, slip, insurance, maintenance, storage, and your own time cleaning and fixing it. Most owners use the boat less than they planned.

Delray Beach Boat Club. Prepaid trips on company-owned boats with our captain at the wheel. The price is set before you board. No dues, no slip, no repair bill.

Who the Club Is For

  • Delray Beach and Boca Raton residents who host friends and family on the water several times a year
  • Seasonal residents who want a boat ready when they arrive and no bills when they leave
  • Business owners who entertain clients on the Intracoastal
  • Families who want a captained boat for holidays, birthdays, and school breaks

If you'd go out once, book a single boat rental. If you'd go out five or more times, the club pays for itself.

Why Choose Our Boat Club in Delray Beach

Every boat in the fleet is company-owned and captained by our own USCG-licensed crew. Members get the same boats and captains our charter guests get, plus priority on the calendar.

That priority matters in season. Weekend yachts in Delray and Boca book out weeks ahead from January through April. Members move to the front of the line.
