Since 2006, Bridge Marina Boating Club has connected thousands of families to life on the water in New Jersey.
With locations on Lake Hopatcong and in Highlands, NJ, our boat club members enjoy an impressive fleet of professionally maintained boats, supported by a team focused on safety, professionalism, and thoughtful service.
We’ve built a boat club our members trust… and we work hard to keep it that way.
When you join Bridge Marina Boating Club, you gain access to a premium fleet of impeccably maintained Four Winns, Wellcraft, and Starcraft Marine boats on Lake Hopatcong and Sandy Hook Bay in Highlands, NJ.
Every boat club membership includes on-water orientation with a professional instructor – and ongoing hands-on training throughout the season – to ensure your comfort and confidence on the water. Watersports equipment and gear are also included and ready when you are.
As a Boating Club member, your time is spent where it belongs – cruising the afternoon away, early morning fishing trips, gathering friends for a dock and dine at your favorite spot, or enjoying an evening sunset on the water. Behind the scenes, our experienced team manages the details like maintenance, cleaning, insurance, storage, and ongoing fleet care, so each boat is professionally prepared and ready for you to enjoy.
So how does it all work? We’ve spent two decades building a system that keeps things simple: reserve a boat, show up, and enjoy your day on the water, while we handle the rest.
All boat club members have exclusive access to a fleet of more than 35 late-model boats across two sought-after locations in New Jersey (Lake Hopatcong and Highlands). We offer a deep and diverse fleet of triple pontoons, bowriders, and center consoles so our members have lots of options at their fingertips – even during peak summer weekends.
Members reserve morning or afternoon sessions through our easy-to-use online reservation system, with the ability to combine reservations for a full day on the water if they’d like. Our team prepares each boat to the same consistent, professional standard – cleaned, fueled, inspected, and ready when a member arrives.
Bridge Marina boat club members enjoy a seamless boating experience season after season while we continuously reinvest in our fleet and manage maintenance, insurance, registration, storage, and depreciation costs.
In short, we handle every detail so your time is spent boating… not managing a boat.
At Bridge Marina, we believe a good day on the water should feel effortless… and well supported.
Arrive at our Lake Hopatcong or Highlands location (you have access to both!), and your reserved boat is ready. No uncovering, fueling, or prep required. After a quick check-in with our team, you’re off to enjoy your time on the water.
At the end of the day, you simply return to the dock. Our team takes care of the rest – cleaning, refueling, and preparing the boat for its next reservation.
That’s the Bridge Marina Boating Club experience – thoughtfully managed and built around your time on the water.
Whether you’re boating on Lake Hopatcong or exploring the waters of Sandy Hook Bay in Highlands, NJ, our boat club provides premium, reliable boating access backed by two decades of experience.
We welcome a limited number of new members each season to maintain availability and service standards. If you’re ready to experience boating the Bridge Marina way, we invite you to apply for membership and reserve your preferred level.
At Bridge Marina, boat club membership is about more than just access to boats. It’s about being part of a well-run, experienced club where your time on the water is supported by people who genuinely care. For 20 seasons, we’ve continually worked on improving everything we do, from our fleet to the way we serve our members. Experience boating the Bridge Marina way and enjoy:
With more than 35 late-model boats across two waterfront locations, our boat club fleet provides variety and real capacity, even in peak season. Each boat is maintained to professional standards and supported by ongoing reinvestment, so members enjoy equipment that’s modern, clean, and ready to go.
Every boat club member begins their experience with hands-on, on-water training led by a professional instructor to build real confidence.
Throughout the season, we offer additional clinics and dockside guidance designed to help members become safer, more capable boaters. Our commitment to training and safety is evident in everything we do – we truly believe that confidence on the water makes boating safer and more enjoyable for all.
Our team is here to make your boating experience with us safe and enjoyable. We’ll get to know your name, help carry your gear, answer questions, and make sure your departure and return are easy.
We believe that boating should feel relaxed and that starts before you even leave the dock.
From bayfront views in Highlands, private, keypad access restrooms with changing areas and showers to waterfront picnic areas and access to multiple Bridge Marina facilities on Lake Hopatcong, our locations feel welcoming and comfortable.
Bridge Marina hosts member events, training opportunities, and seasonal get-togethers to help connect boaters beyond their use of our boat club.
Many of our members have been with us for years, referring friends and loved ones to our Bridge Marina family along the way.
From the best dock-and-dine spots to quiet coves and fishing recommendations, our team is always available to share local insight. With decades of experience on Lake Hopatcong and Sandy Hook Bay, we’re here to help members make the most of their time on the water.
We’re also available with additional guidance, hands-on training and more to support your boating experience.
At Bridge Marina, we are grateful for each member who has chosen to spend their precious leisure time with us. And we know that one of the best compliments we can receive is when one of our members refers us to a friend, colleague, or family member! Boating Club members earn referral awards in a variety of ways. Simply speak with a team member for more details!
Bridge Marina Boating Club offers a range of membership options to best fit your lifestyle and schedule. As one of the few boat clubs in New Jersey to publish transparent pricing guidance, we believe in helping prospective members make informed decisions.
Annual boat club membership fees range from approximately $1,800 to $6,000 (plus applicable tax), depending on when and how often you plan to enjoy boating.
Our pricing is structured to protect what matters most – boat availability, fleet quality, and a member experience you can rely on season after season. We intentionally balance membership levels with fleet size so that when you plan a Saturday in July, there’s a boat ready for you.
Every membership level in our boat club provides access to our premium fleet at two sought-after locations (Lake Hopatcong and Highlands), along with professional onboarding and training, ongoing skill-building clinics, full use of our reservation system and member-only events.
All new Bridge Marina Boating Club members complete a comprehensive onboarding experience designed to ensure comfort, confidence, and safety on the water.
Your onboarding begins with an in-depth, hands-on orientation at either Lake Hopatcong or Highlands, NJ, led by a professional instructor. Plus, you’ll also have access to complimentary training clinics throughout the season to further develop your skills.
The one-time onboarding investment of $1,499 covers your first-year training, orientation, and introduction into the club. In subsequent years, members pay only the applicable annual membership fee for their selected level.

Yes! Bridge Marina offers the most flexible boat club membership plans in New Jersey. Unlike “one-size-fits-all” boat club memberships that force you into an expensive unlimited option, Bridge Marina Boat Club puts you in control. You simply choose a membership plan that fits how often you want to boat.
Bridge Marina Boat Club membership pricing is based on when and how frequently you plan to enjoy boating. Want unlimited boat club access? We’ve got you covered. Prefer a more practical approach with only a handful of outings? Start with a plan that better suits your lifestyle.
No matter which flexible membership option you choose, every boating club membership offered includes all the Bridge Marina member perks, from ongoing on-water education throughout the season to hassle-free boating aboard our incredible fleet.
Bridge Marina Boating Club offers multiple, flexible membership options to best suit our members at both of our locations on Lake Hopatcong and Highlands, NJ. Bridge Marina Boating Club membership programs are based on:
Bridge Marina Boating Club puts you in control. Simply choose the program that fits how – and how often – you want to boat. All options include the perks we’re known for – hands-on education and coaching from our professional team, a fantastic fleet and hassle-free boating, so you can simply show up and ship out!
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.
If you’re ready to enjoy boating with a team that values safety, service and long-term quality, we invite you to apply for membership and reserve your preferred level.
