FAQs
Your Boating Queries Answered. Sail Smoothly with Our FAQs!
How does the Passes system work?
Every Membership Payment will get you a Pass (or 2, or 3, or however many you need). Each Pass is used to make a booking. Unused Passes rollover to the next month and never expire as long as you're a Member. So you can accumulate Passes and take your trips in the future. You can customize your Membership for your Passes to be good for half-day trips (4 hours), 6 hours, or full-day trips (8 hours).
What does the Membership Price include?
Our prices are all-inclusive. The price you pay for each Pass will include the private boat during your booked time, your captain, gas, taxes, docking fee, our cooler full of ice, water bottles for you and your guests, and even a steward(ess) in select boats! There are no hidden fees. The base Membership includes a half-day trip per month (4 hours), with unlimited rollover in case you can't use it in that particular month. Of course, we offer memberships with longer trips and as many trips per month as you need; your choice!
How many trips per month are included in the Membership?
Our base membership includes 1 trip per month, but of course, you can customize your membership to include as many trips as you want. We also have memberships that include 1 trip every two months, and 1 trip every three months. Your choice. Regardless of the number of trips in your membership, the great thing is that they have unlimited rollover. This means that, if you don't take a trip in a particular month, you can roll it over to the next month and take it in the future. In other words, you can accumulate trips and take several trips in future months. Unused trips never expire as long as you're a member!
How long are the trips included in the Membership?
We are fully flexible: you can choose your trips to be 4, 6, or 8 hours long. We also offer overnight trips of up to several days on our larger boats if you wish to go to the Bahamas or The Florida Keys (quoted separately). Our base membership includes half-day trips (4 hours), but you can customize your membership to include longer trips, or you can pay for extra hours on any particular trip you want, without affecting your membership.
Can I switch plans?
Of course! You can upgrade or downgrade to another Plan. Simply contact your Personal Concierge for instructions on how to do it.
Who can I bring on the Boat?
You can bring anyone you want into the boat as long as it is not beyond the permitted capacity. You can have your family, friends, colleagues or employees take a trip; you don't necessarily need to be present in every trip as the paying member!
How far ahead can I book?
The system will allow you to book for tomorrow and up to 12 months in advance. If you need to book same-day or more than 12 months in advance, simply reach out to your Personal Concierge. We're the only Boat Club in the world that guarantees availability, so there will be boats available even if you don't book so far ahead. However, if you want a particular boat, we recommend that you book it more than a week in advance.
At what times are the slots to reserve a boat?
Our bookings start as early as 9am and end as late as 11pm. But if you need something before or after, simply talk to your Personal Concierge and we will arrange it for you.
Can I buy extra hours for a particular trip?
Yes! Regardless of the duration you chose as part of your Membership, you can always buy extra hours for a particular booking without affecting your Membership. If you buy extra hours for a particular booking they are charge proportionally (for example, if 4 hours are $999, 2 extra hours will be $499). You can also get extra hours as part of your Membership; it is more cost-effective to get extra hours as part of your Membership than to pay for extra hours in each booking.
What's the trip cancellation policy?
Your plans can change, and we understand that. That's why we offer a flexible cancellation policy. If you cancel your trip for any reason with more than 7 days' notice, you'll get your Pass back, no questions asked. If it's within 7 days to 24 hours from your booked trip, get your Pass back by paying a 30% fee. If hazardous weather prevents your boat from sailing (as determined by the Coast Guard or your Captain), you get your Pass back so you can book on another date. You can easily cancel any existing reservation online or through your personal concierge.
What happens if there is bad weather?
Don't worry! Your safety and that of the crew will always be prioritized. If hazardous weather prevents your boat from sailing (as determined by the Coast Guard or your Captain), you get your Pass back so you can book on another date.
Is tipping the crew customary?
Tipping is entirely up to you. Even though tips will be greatly appreciated, we don't like to make them mandatory (like some restaurants do nowadays). Tipping should be entirely your choice, depending on the service you receive. If you do decide to tip, the industry standard is around 10%. You can give separate tips to the captain and steward(ess), or give the whole amount to the captain and ask them to share it among the crew. Captains usually accept tips not only in cash, but also via Venmo, Zelle, and CashApp.
Are pets allowed on the boats?
Most of our boats are pet-friendly. When you book any of our boats, you will see a brief description of each, including if they are pet-friendly. So, if you would like to bring your pet you can certainly do so by simply booking in any of our pet-friendly boats.
