Boat Ownership vs Barrington Boat Club
Boat ownership is a timely and costly investment. Aside from purchasing costs, which can range anywhere from $20,000 to over $100,000 for a new boat, owners are then locked into additional costs of maintenance and service. Our Boat Club Membership eliminates the costs and the hassles associated with ownership so that you can simply enjoy your time on the water in a variety of premium boats!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our reservation system ensures that all members have equal access to make a reservation 24 hours a day.
Members are able to make one weekend and one weekday reservation at a time. As soon as one reservation is completed, members can book another.
Weekday boating is typically quiet with the exception of holidays. To book specific weekends, simply make your reservation up to 30 days in advance. We also offer a “Last Minute Launch” opportunity that provides members with the opportunity to make an additional reservation. After 3 pm each day, unreserved boats for the following day are available for reservation to all members, without counting as one of the two reservations members are allowed at a time.
We carefully manage our fleet size to match the needs of our members.
-
We go to great lengths to ensure our boats meet all safety standards and guidelines.
Members go through a safety check out each time they use a boat to be certain the member knows where all safety gear is located on each vessel.
We use certified Mercury mechanics from All Marine Services to ensure that the boats are properly serviced.
By leveraging a sophisticated preventative maintenance program, we are able to keep our boats in excellent condition.
All new members are fully trained on operating and safety procedures by a certified captain prior to taking out any boats. Members are required to complete an educational boating session and individualized “hands on” orientation courses provided by the club that are based on your comfort level and previous boating skill. Our goal is to make sure that all members have the knowledge and skills needed to boat safely.
-
Members have no usage or daily charges. Your only cost is the fuel that you use.
We have a large variety of watersport equipment! Watersport equipment can be added to any reservation. There is a $20 fee for equipment reservations to allow those who use these consistently to help us offset costs of replacements. This allows us to keep costs lower for members who prefer not to use these add-ons.
In the case of damage, members will be billed accordingly.
We can arrange for wine and cheese plates to be delivered to the boat for a fee.
-
Friends, family, guests and children, as long as a member is present. You may also entertain an important business client on any of our boats. Your boat is limited to the capacity of the boat you choose, which is listed in our fleet section. Drinks, snacks, towels, and sunscreen are recommended. All watersport equipment and more are available to add to your reservation.
-
We own the boats you use all season. You don’t need a boat to join, in fact, that is the point. You get to use our boats so that you don’t have any of the hassles of ownership!
