Boating without Owning..its about time!™

How Do I Join & How Does the Club Work?

Once you feel that boating with Carefree Boat Club is for you, submit an application. Most qualified applicants are accepted within 24 hours.

The next step is to become a knowledgeable and proficient boat operator. Our Be A Better Boater training program is included with membership at no additional cost. You will be scheduled for the next available Boating Safety Course and will have your On-The-Water individual boat operation training scheduled as soon as possible thereafter.

Now that you have passed our Be A Better Boater training program, the real FUN begins. As a member, you are able to make reservations up to 6 months in advance using our online reservation system, ResNet. Along with our ResNet online system, our members enjoy boating spur of the moment as well. This is done by speaking with our dock staff directly and making reservations. Members also get to enjoy boating from all of the Carefree Boat Clubs in the Network, not just your “home” club.
