Buying a boat feels like a dream.
But for most people, it turns into a financial and logistical nightmare.
“We almost bought a boat. Joining the club saved us tens of thousands—and gave us better boats than we ever could’ve owned.”
What starts as excitement quickly becomes a long list of responsibilities:
maintenance, storage, insurance, cleaning, trailering, fueling, winterizing
—and let’s not forget the monthly payments.That’s why more families are doing the math and choosing a better option: **Nautical Boat Club®**.### Ownership Costs Add Up—FastHere’s a typical breakdown of annual boat ownership expenses:
- Loan payment: $6,000–$10,000/year
- Insurance: $500–$1,000/year
- Slip fees or storage: $2,000–$5,000/year
- Maintenance + repairs: $1,500/year - Depreciation: thousands per year
- Cleaning, trailering, towing: hours per weekendAll in, you could be spending
$12,000 to $18,000 per year just to own a depreciating asset you only use a few months out of the year.
