Boating Club FAQs
Got questions? We’ve got answers. We’ve put together our most Frequently Asked Questions about our Boating Club here. Still have questions? Please reach out – we’re to help!
What types of membership programs do you offer?
Membership programs are based on:
- The number of times you want to go out boating each summer (Membership Level)
- When you want to go boating (Anytime or Weekdays Only)
- Where you want to go boating (Your Home Location – Lake Hopatcong or Highlands)
What is the membership commitment?
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.
How Do I Know That I Will Be Able to Get a Boat?
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.
How Do Reservations and Scheduling Work? How Hard is it to Get a Reservation?
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.
What Types of Boats Are in the Club?
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.
What If I Am New to Boating?
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.
