Waves Boat & Social Club is a family-owned and operated business that provides an alternative to owning or renting a boat. As a member, you have the unlimited use of a fleet of spotless boats, multiple locations and exciting social events. Waves owns, maintains and insures all of our boats, providing members with worry-free boating everyday of the week!

When you join Waves, we provide training complete with a captain, boat driving instructions, map reading, safety procedures and more. We are also the area's best resource of information for boaters seeking restaurants, fuel docks, places of interest, and more.

When you arrive at our club for one of many days of great boating we offer a "concierge" type service, which will assist you and your party from your vehicle to your boat. Once you return from your day on the water you simply walk away to enjoy the rest of your day. Another advantage of being a Waves member are our popular social events. Whether you're new to the area or have lived here for years, there are events to suit every age & need, such as fishing clinics, beach parties, sight seeing tours, sunset cruises, dolphin sightseeing and more!

Because Waves Boat & Social Club is not a franchise or a corporation, we can provide you with the special personalized service you deserve, affordable rates (we don't answer to shareholders or investors), and the best possible locations in the area. At Waves you are a member of our family not a number.

Why join a boat club?

Boat Clubs are the modern alternative to buying a boat. Golfers (and tennis players) learned years ago that you don't buy the course you join a club. Boats are no different. They are not an investment. They depreciate, break down, are very expensive and are a lot of work to maintain. The initial purchase of the boat is only the first of many dollars spent. One of the first mistakes new boat owners often make is they buy a boat, take an in-class course, and off they go. Unfortunately, they haven't had any boat driving or local area instruction, and they wind up damaging their new boat. This happens a lot and can be a very expensive learning experience.

Then there is storage; which can be extremely costly. For instance a 20' boat will cost you on average, $300/month which is amost $4,000 per year. Or if you opt to trailer a boat, you need to have a place to store it, you must buy a trailer, provide a truck for towing, etc. Then there is the immense wear and tear on your vehicle and the aggravation of annual registrations and line ups at the boat ramps.

Another limitation to boat ownership is the owner is limited to the type of boat. If you opt for an offshore fishing boat, such as a center console, this is not comfortable to hold a lot of people, and they generally don't offer good protection from the sun. Conversly, a boat designed for more people, such as a deck or pontoon, is uncomfortable in choppy water, etc. Then if your boat breaks down, which it will, who are you going to call?

The saying "the best 2 days of a boater's life is the day they buy the boat and the day they sell the boat" still hold true. However, there is a now a 3rd best day; the day you join Waves Boat & Social Club!
