Nautical Boat Club is excited to announce that our Tellico Lake location has officially moved from Tellico Marina to Cherokee Outdoor Resort, creating an even better experience for current and future members.
While Tellico Marina played an important role in the club's growth, this move positions members at the center of one of the most exciting waterfront destinations in East Tennessee.
For members, that means better amenities, an elevated atmosphere, and a front-row seat to the future of boating on Tellico Lake.
As Nautical Boat Club continues to grow, we're always looking for opportunities to improve the member experience.
Cherokee Outdoor Resort offers several advantages that make every boating day easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.
Members now enjoy:
✅ Covered slips for added protection and convenience
✅ A fully staffed gas dock
✅ Luxury cabins for overnight stays and weekend getaways
✅ The Mudpuppy restaurant located on-site
✅ A management team committed to creating a premier waterfront destination
The result is more than a marina.
It's a boating destination.
What makes Cherokee Outdoor Resort special isn't just the facilities—it's the vision.
The ownership team continues to invest heavily in the property's future, creating an environment that aligns perfectly with the Nautical Boat Club experience.
Whether you're heading out for a morning cruise, a family tubing day, a sunset ride, or a weekend getaway, Cherokee Outdoor Resort creates a true resort-style atmosphere around every boating experience.
One of the biggest reasons we're excited about this move is the momentum building around Cherokee Outdoor Resort.
A perfect example is the upcoming Murray Experience, featuring wakeboarding legend Shaun Murray.
This high-energy event highlights the type of experiences, events, and community-building opportunities that continue to make Cherokee one of the most exciting destinations on Tellico Lake.
The event offers boating enthusiasts a chance to connect with other water sports fans while experiencing the growing energy surrounding the resort.
Current members are already excited about the transition.
"We are super pumped about the move and the future ahead for our Tellico Lake location. The Cherokee crew is amazing, and they are as pumped as we are. We believe this move will benefit our Knoxville area members as well as members nationwide."
— Scott Payne Nautical Boat Club East Tennessee
The move creates more opportunities not only for Tellico Lake members, but also for traveling Nautical Boat Club members visiting from other locations around the country.
Tellico Lake has become one of the most popular boating destinations in Tennessee thanks to its scenic mountain views, clean water, waterfront dining, and recreational opportunities.
Now members can enjoy all of that from an upgraded home base.
