Q.
|
What is
Carefree Boat Club all about?
|
|
A.
|
Carefree Boat Club
members have all the benefits of owning their own boat but none of the
cost or hassle that goes with it, which ultimately gives them more time
to enjoy the water with family and friends. We own the boats and take
care of everything that boat owners hate to do and pay for, including:
storage, dockage, maintenance, insurance, tax, tow service and even
cleaning. Members are entitled to participate in safety classes, social
functions, and much more. We strive to provide a carefree alternative to
boat ownership - at a fraction of the cost of
owning a boat - while maintaining the highest quality of service.
