What at great way to boat! As anyone knows, one boat does not fit all occasions and/or needs. What you get with “The Boat Clubs” is not only a great choice of boats, but unparalleled service. Capt. Bill and Capt. Jason take exquisite care of their boats and their customers. I grew up with boats and all the sayings are true - that personal ownership of boats can turn something that should be fun into a ritualistic nightmare of washing, maintaining, repairing, etc…Thank the Lord for Boat Clubs! If you don’t know much about boats, I can’t imagine a better way to be introduced to boating than this. From inshore or offshore fishing to cruising the Gulf or just putting around the numerous backwater areas, “The Boat Clubs” have a boat that will fit everyone’s needs and lifestyle.
Thanks Capt. Jason and Capt. Bill for doing it right!

Having owned a variety of boats since I was twelve years old, I have often been asked by my friends and family why I joined a boat club. My answer has always been “it’s the only way to go!” In years past when I owned my own boat there was always the hassles of:

· What to do when a hurricane is on the way.
· The price of slip (if you can find one) and insurance only get more expensive each year.
· Constant maintenance and upkeep.
· You are locked into the style of the boat you purchased.

With The Boat Club, you have a variety of off-shore fishing boats; in-shore flats boats for the shallow areas; deck boats for when the whole family comes to visit - and they are all cleaned and maintained for you. All you do is call and tell them what boat you would like and it is there at the dock when you get there!

Leave the stress of every day life behind. Spend your day relaxing in the sun, splashing in the surf, and watching dolphins swim close enough that you can reach out and touch them!
We had considered buying a boat for a year, debating over the cost, maintenance, and docking fees. We love the water and were constantly renting boats for a few hours of the day during those monthly visits from out of town guests. We would spend $300 - $400 a day in season to rent a boat that wasn't nearly as nice as what we would have liked.
Then, one day we were looking through the Naples Daily News and we happened to notice an advertisement for The Boat Club. We called and left a message. They immediately called us back and we set an appointment to meet with Captain Bill and his son Jason. We met and learned all of the details of joining the club and that day became members of The Boat Club! My husband works a highly stressful job, and the best way we have found for him to relax is to spend the day on a boat. We call Jason to reserve a boat at least once a week. My husband either fishes, while I lay in the sun, or we just find a quiet cove and toss in the anchor and read our books, and have a lovely picnic. My husband always looks at me and says "Can you believe that this is our life? It's pretty great isn't it?".
That's what you'll have when you join The Boat Club: An unbelievable day that makes you believe that "Life is pretty great".

We have been members of The Boat Club of Florida for over three years.  We have enjoyed our membership because we have been able to always take out the boat that we wanted.  However, the  most important feature for us is that because we travel out of state very often, we do not have to be concerned with taking care of the boat while away, or when storms approach the Naples area.  As a member of The Boat Club, I really must say that it has been a fun experience without any of the work or cost of boat ownership.

We love being members of The Boat Club! The convenience of havinga a boat ready for us to just walk right on and take out is wonderful. All the boats are well kept, always clean and ready to go. Since we we are new to boating in Naples we had the added benefit of being able to call Jason with a concern, question, and/or directions while we are out and about which was very reassuring. My parents and I recommend The Boat Club to anyone who loves boating but doesn't want the hassles associated with owning your own. No cleaning, trailers, maintenance, or slip fees. Just enjoyment out on the water!
Sincerely,
Marty & Monica Nelson/Christina Poist

Having spent several months researching the various options for Boat Clubs in this area, we arrived at the conclusion that The Boat Club is by far the very best Club going. The value, assortment of equipment, low member to boat ratio, convenience and impeccable upkeep, reliability and cleanliness of the boats is incomparable.
Captain’s Bill and Jason Minder run a tight ship and always go the extra mile to provide the utmost in member services. We’ve been fortunate and appreciative of our experience and to date have become the most active members in the Club with an average of ten outings per month. We had considered purchasing our own boat but after six months of Club membership we now know that the Club option is the only way to go.
What a great and rewarding experience seeing all of the wonderful Florida nature that surrounds us on our excursions. We highly recommend becoming a member of The Boat Club.

We evaluated a number of boating options, including new purchase, used purchase, day rental/charter, yacht clubs and other boat clubs. We remain truly delighted with our choice of The Boat Club on all counts. Each boat is immaculate and meticulously maintained. The variety of boats in the fleet provides a selection to match our whim, whether for fishing, sightseeing, or entertaining friends. One phone call assures us of having the right boat ready to go at dockside when we arrive. The Naples waterways are a special place, and we can cruise the Gulf or to one of the many secluded wildlife sanctuaries we cherish. After a day on the water, we simply step onto the dock and head for the neighboring restaurant…no wash-down or maneuvering into slips. No chores!
The best feature of the Boat Club Membership is most certainly the terrific service given by Capt. Jason and Capt. Bill Minder; always friendly, professional and attentive, making our boating experiences fun again!
Larry Dahlberg, Naples FL

"The transition from boat ownership to club membership has been a great experience for us. The choice of a boat to fit the need of the day has been an expanded dimension that is wonderful. The service is outstanding and personal. We are "snowbirds" and now we do not have to pay insurance and we don't pay storage for six months of non-use, (which is not even good for the equipment). Not only do we feel we have saved significant dollars, but we have more options and enjoy boating more."

BOATS! BOATS! BOATS! BOATS!, and more BOATS!
"The Boat Club is the answer to a boater's dream. We had longed for a boat, but we just were not prepared to buy, dock, or clean one. Along came Capt. Bill Minder. We joined the club, and we have been so pleased with our investment. Capt. Bill and his son, Jason, are so knowledgeable and patient. They took on the task of helping two novices to boat, and they turned them into boating enthusiasts. We are so happy to be part of the Boat Club."
Steve and Phyllis Adams

"With the Boat Club our boating experiences are virtually care-free. The only thing we have to do is enjoy! Jason and Bill do all of the tough stuff. We call them our boating 'concierges'!"
Chuck and Meredith Downton

Dear Jason and Bill,
I would just like to let you and any potential Boat Club Members know how satisfied I've been. I have been a member of another boat club and this one is the best. I love to fish and my wife loves to pleasure boat with family and friends so we’ve got the best of both worlds. From the day that we joined we’ve felt a part of The Boat Club family. You definitely take care of your members and your fleet of boats, always upgrading equipment and adding to the fleet. Your good people to be associated with!
Thanks,
Carl and Peggy Waltman, Naples

The Boat Club
When arriving at the Marina we are always greeted by Capt. Jason or Capt. Bill – what a way to start the day! They are so friendly and give us the best advice on water and weather conditions and where to go. The boats are always in great condition and ready for launch. There are many styles of boats to choose from. Our favorite is the deckboat because it holds a lot of people and is a smooth ride. If you live in or around Naples you should definitely take advantage of the Boat Club, it’s like being on vacation every day!
