A boat club contract checklist

Use these questions to understand the commercial terms before signing. This is an educational checklist, not a legal review.

Money and commitment

What is due now? When do dues begin? Can dues increase? What is the minimum term, renewal process, cancellation deadline and pause policy? Are promotions documented and conditional?

Usable access

Which home locations, fleet types, captains, guests and booking windows are included? What restrictions apply to weekends, holidays, reciprocal trips, towing, pets and overnight use?

Responsibility and exit

What damage obligations, exclusions, incident procedures and optional coverage apply? What happens if the club changes locations or the fleet? Ask qualified counsel about legal questions before signing.
