Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

Here are some questions potential members frequently ask — but feel free to call or email us anytime!

How Does the Membership Cost Compare to Boat Ownership?
Consider all of the associated costs of boat ownership — the cost of the boat itself or note payment, maintenance, insurance, routine repairs, and your time and effort cleaning the boat. Your membership with us is a fraction of the cost of boat ownership, and most importantly, without all the headaches and hassles! In fact, just the cost of storage in a facility is more than what you would pay for a membership with us.
How Much Does It Cost?
Although pricing depends on which membership plan you choose, the pricing structure contains a one-time membership initiation fee and a small monthly fee thereafter. You are responsible for the cost of your fuel. Otherwise, there are no other hidden costs associated with our club — unlike some that charge for the online reservation system, head usage fees, fuel surcharges, training, and various other charges. We pride ourselves on having the best location, boats, and amenities, while also being extremely affordable.
What Are the Hours of Operation?
Very simple — virtually sunrise to sunset boating! We do not have rigid set hours; rather our members enjoy boating during the maximum number of daylight hours available. We offer a morning session and an afternoon session. Because we utilize the maximum daylight hours and have two sessions per day, we can accommodate more members while still giving each one plenty of time on the water.
What is the Member to Boat Ratio?
One of the most crucial questions you should ask any club is how easy it is to book a boat on short notice. Our club maintains a low member-to-boat ratio for all our members, regardless of their activity level. Some clubs may give you a different ratio but fail to include inactive members in their calculation, which can affect the availability of boats. We can show you our ratio in writing — can they?
How Many Times Can I Reserve a Boat Per Month?
This is one of the most important questions to ask any club, and generally tells you right away whether you'll be able to get out on the water on short notice. Our reservation system is designed to give members maximum flexibility. Be aware that some clubs may tell you their ratio but fail to specify whether that is for active members or all members, which can dramatically affect availability. Ask to see it in writing — you can with us!
Is Insurance Included?
Yes! Liability is insured up to $1,000,000 per vessel. This is better coverage than if you owned the vessel yourself and gives you peace of mind every time you head out on the water.
Do You Have a Boat Maintenance Schedule?
Yes! This is very important to ensure that our boats are clean and mechanically sound. We schedule weekly maintenance to make necessary repairs, deep clean our fleet, and address anything before it becomes a problem. This virtually eliminates any breakdowns on the water — keeping your day on the lake exactly as planned.
Where Do I Buy Fuel?
Fuel is available at the marina. Every boat leaves with a full tank. Upon your return, you simply de-board while our staff begins re-fueling. Once you collect your belongings, you pay for the fuel used and you're on your way — it's that easy.
Can I Reserve a Boat on the Same Day?
Yes! We call this "spur of the moment" boating. If you wake up and it's a beautiful day and you'd like to get out on the water, simply give our staff a call. If a boat is available, it's yours.
Can I Keep a Boat Overnight?
Yes — in fact, up to two nights in a row! Additional knowledge and training may be required. After a member demonstrates the ability to navigate the waterways comfortably (usually about 60 days), overnight reservations become available as an option.
Can I Speak With Other Club Members to Get Their Opinion?
Absolutely! Just ask us for a list of members. We're proud of our community and confident they'll tell you exactly why Mid Georgia Boat Club is the right choice.
Can I Use the Marina Amenities Without Going Boating?
Without question — members do it all the time. It's like having two different memberships for the price of one. Come enjoy the waterfront even on days you're not taking a boat out.
