Club Rules

These rules ensure safety, fairness, and an enjoyable experience for all members. Please review and follow these guidelines.

Important Notice

Violation of these rules may result in warnings, suspension, or termination of membership. Safety is our top priority.

Reservation Rules

Members may have two active reservations on the books at a time
Reservations can be booked a day in advance
Day trips available: 6:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Night trips available: 6:00 PM - 5:00 AM
Night trips require at least one completed day trip first — you must know your way around the channels before navigating at night, even with all provided lights on the boat. Safety is our first priority.
Reservations must be made through your Member Portal
Members can book their next reservation while currently on a boat
Cancellations should be made as early as possible to allow other members to book
No-shows without notice may result in fees or membership review
Arrive on time for your reservation; boats may be released if you are more than 30 minutes late without notice

Only authorized members may operate club boats
Members must have basic boating knowledge and experience
