What is Waves Boat & Social Club Boating Club all about?
Waves Boat & Social Club is about unlimited boating on the crystal clear waters along the Intracoastal waterway without the worry of insurance bills, storage, maintenance, boat payments and cleaning.
Waves Boat & Social Club is about value. Membership covers all costs associated with boating except the actual fuel you use.
Waves Boat & Social Club is about meeting new friends. We keep a busy schedule of social events throughout the year so members can get to know each other and develop lasting relationships.
Waves Boat & Social Club is about quality. We value our partnership with high end boat dealers which have a reputation of doing everything first class. From premium boats, to catered lunches, to attentive dock service, to safety training, to social functions - every aspect of Waves Boat & Social Club Boating Club is top quality.

How do I know there will be boats available?
Reservations are guaranteed up to twelve months in advance. Think of it like you do a tee time at the country club. Just call us in advance when you expect family or guests and we will have the boat reserved for you. We carefully monitor the usage of each boat to make sure we have plenty of boats for our members. Because we are partners with Ingman Marine - one of the largest boat dealers on the west coast - we always have the ability to add boats to the fleet quickly.
