Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Prescott Boat Club?
Prescott Boat Club, your boat club of choice, is a unique, cost effective alternative for people who want all the benefits of owning their own boat, but don't want the hassle, costs or trouble of upkeep, transport and maintenance it takes to keep a boat in the water.
How does it work?
Members simply call the Prescott Boat Club, your boat club of choice, make a reservation then come to our marina where a fully fueled boat is waiting. When members are done boating for the day they simply return the marina, refuel the boat and turn over the keys. It's that simple.
What type of boats do members have access to?
The Prescott Boat Club, your boat club of choice, offers an impressive fleet of new luxurious boats including deck and ski boats, fishing boats, and tri-toons.
How reliable are the boats?
Every boat in the fleet is purchased brand-new and replaced within three years. That means our members have access to luxury boats that are well maintained and in excellent condition.
Are boats always available for my usage?
For more than 15 years our clubs throughout the nation have fulfilled over 97% of all reservation requests. In 2010, the Prescott Boat Club fulfilled 100% of its reservation requests.
How much does it cost to become a member?
Members have the opportunity to choose from several different membership packages that range from limited use to unlimited use of the entire fleet. To book a tour or speak to a membership specialist call 715-262-8386 or "Book a Tour"
As new boats are added to the fleet do members have any say in such acquisitions?
Absolutely! Based on the preferences and use of our members we build our fleet. In other words, if our ski boats are the most in-demand,that is what will be added to the club's fleet.
