Effortlessly enjoy your time on the water as a member – it’s the simple and smart way to enjoy all the luxuries and advantages of the boating lifestyle without any of the long-term commitments, costs or shortcomings of owning a boat.
Boating Club members spend their time on the water aboard our fleet of pristine, impeccably maintained Four Winns® and Starcraft® Marine boats, while our attentive team handles all of the hassles and expenses of boat ownership, including covering, uncovering, cleaning, slip fees, registration, repairs and maintenance, winter storage, depreciation, insurance and more. There are no hidden costs and no unexpected repair bills for members.
Boating Club members have access to an incredible fleet of top-notch boats through our online reservation system. One reservation equals a morning or afternoon visit (approximately four hours), or two reservations can be aligned in order to enjoy a boat for the entire day. If you’re an early morning angler or would like to enjoy a “night out” on the lake or at the shore, accommodations can be made for early morning or evening boating that extends beyond our normal business hours.
With locations on Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey’s largest lake, and at the Jersey Shore’s Sandy Hook Bay in Highlands, our Boating Club offers members endless opportunities for making fantastic memories on the water without the hassles or costs of boat ownership.

As a member, all you do is show up, and our team helps you into an awesome boat that is clean, fueled, maintained, and ready to go. You’re out having fun within minutes of your arrival without the typical worries or hassles of uncovering, cleaning, etc.
At the end of your day, our team helps you off the boat and back to your car. You go home without the typical worries of covering the boat, cleaning it, maintaining it, and more. Simple, easy, all fun, and no worries… anything but typical.
We look forward to your membership! We only offer a limited number of memberships each season, so make sure you reserve your preferred membership level.

Membership programs are based on:
Our membership program commitment is only one year.
For your convenience, all plans are auto-renewed each year on your anniversary (joining) date, and most members join us for several consecutive years. You can opt out of renewing your plan by simply letting us know, in advance of your anniversary date, that you no longer wish to continue your membership.
No cancellation fees, no long-term commitments. And, when and if you’d like to join us again after a “break” from the Club, you can rejoin for great times on the water for another year. Flexibility is important to us.
You simply make a reservation in our online system. Your confirmed reservation guarantees your use of the Club.
We maintain a ratio of approximately 7:1 Full Members to available boats to ensure our members have unwavering access to the water. Summer weekends are of course our more popular days for reservations, and our weekend afternoons are most popular. We encourage our members to make plans in advance and reserve their time to guarantee their spot.
Our most experienced members have also found that weekdays are some of the best boating days, with less traffic on our waterways. We encourage our members to seek the solitude of weekdays and schedule weekday reservations whenever possible – an early day off work on a Thursday often makes for a fantastic afternoon on the water!
We’ve put together an entire blog post on the subject of whether boating club members can actually get a boat – you can check it out here.
Reservations are made in our online system and all members are given ample opportunity and access to our fleet.
The membership level you choose corresponds to the number of reservations you have to use for the season. One reservation equals a single AM or PM visit, typically 9 AM – 1 PM or 2 PM – 6 PM.
Reservations can be aligned in order to take a boat for an entire day, though we find that one AM or PM reservation offers plenty of time on the water. (Nine hours, 9 AM – 6 PM, is a long day of boating!)
‘Anytime’ Members may have up to two weekday and two weekend reservations on our schedule at any given time. ‘Weekday-Only’ Members may have up to four weekday reservations on our schedule at any given time.
If you’re an early morning boater, or would like to enjoy a late evening dinner on the water, accommodations can be made for our more experienced members. Enjoy early arrivals or later-in-the-day returns that extend beyond our normal business hours.
The Club features an impressive variety of Starcraft Marine luxury triple pontoons and sleek Four Winns fiberglass boats in addition to our Wellcraft Center Console offered at our Highlands location. Both locations feature first-class quality boats specifically chosen to meet a variety of our members’ needs and local conditions. See our incredible fleet of top-notch boats.
Welcome aboard! We specialize in helping new boaters enjoy the boating lifestyle! As part of your on-boarding experience, you’ll receive in-depth, on-water training with a professional instructor to assure that you and your family are safe and comfortable. To further enhance your skills, additional hands-on training opportunities are available throughout the season at the location of your choice to make sure you are comfortable and safe at the helm – all included in your membership!
Some guests that are still unsure about which boating experience might be best for them (renting, joining the Club, or owning) and choose to begin their boating journey with one of our On-Water Training programs. From hands-on lessons to NJ Boating Safety Certificate Courses, our Learn to Boat programs are a great way to start.
We look forward to your membership! We only offer a limited number of memberships each season, so make sure you reserve your preferred membership level.
