Owning a boat has always been a dream for many people but the reality of ownership often comes with unexpected costs, maintenance, storage, insurance, and the time required to keep a boat ready for every outing.
That’s why thousands of boaters have chosen the affordable PowerTime boat club instead. For years, our Classic Membership has given members unlimited opportunities to enjoy premium boats without the hassles of ownership.
Now, we’re excited to introduce another way to experience the PowerTime lifestyle.
The new Club Membership, available as a pilot program right now in Annapolis, Maryland, and Boston, Massachusetts, was created for people who want a more affordable, flexible way to get out on the water. It delivers the same premium PowerTime experience you know and trust, but at a lower, more affordable price point than our traditional Classic Membership.
Whether you’re new to boating, returning after years away, or simply looking for a membership that better fits your lifestyle and budget, Club Membership may be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
Why PowerTime Introduced Club Membership
At PowerTime, we’ve learned that not every member uses boating the same way. Some members spend nearly every weekend on the water, making the most of everything our Classic Membership has to offer. Others prefer a handful of memorable outings each season—family cruises, relaxing afternoons with friends, waterfront dining, or exploring local waterways.
Both are great ways to enjoy boating. That’s why we created Club Membership.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, PowerTime now gives prospective members a choice. Club Membership is designed for those who want the convenience, service, and quality of PowerTime while enjoying a lower-cost membership option that better reflects how often they plan to boat.
The result is greater flexibility, more value, and an easier way for more people to become part of the PowerTime family.
More Affordable Than Classic Membership
One of the biggest advantages of Club Membership is simple: It costs less than a traditional PowerTime Classic Membership.
That lower investment makes boating more accessible than ever before because it’s even more affordable. For many people, the dream of spending time on the water isn’t limited by interest—it’s limited by budget. Club Membership removes that barrier by providing a much more affordable entry point without sacrificing the quality experience that has made PowerTime one of the most respected names in recreational boating.
Instead of purchasing a boat that may sit unused much of the season, or paying for a membership with more boating access than you realistically need—you can choose an affordable membership designed around your lifestyle.
It’s boating that works for you.
The Same PowerTime Experience You Expect
Lower cost doesn’t mean lower quality. Club Members continue to enjoy the professional service and premium experience that defines PowerTime.
That includes:
- Access to premium, professionally maintained boats
- Convenient online reservations
- Boats cleaned, fueled, and ready for your arrival
- Dockside orientation and assistance
- Friendly, knowledgeable marina staff
- No maintenance, cleaning, storage, or insurance responsibilities
Simply reserve your boat, arrive at the marina, step aboard, and enjoy your day on the water. We’ll take care of the rest.
Club Membership vs. Classic Membership: Which Is Right for You?
PowerTime now offers two membership options because every boater has different needs. Our Classic Membership continues to be the ideal choice for members who plan to maximize their time on the water and want the broadest level of access and membership benefits throughout the boating season.
The new Club Membership was created for a different type of boater; someone who values flexibility, affordability, and occasional boating throughout the season. If you’re looking for a lower monthly investment while still enjoying premium boats and exceptional service, Club Membership is an outstanding option.
Here’s a simple comparison:
| Club Membership | Classic Membership |
| Lower membership cost | Premium membership with expanded access |
| Flexible boating schedule | Designed for frequent boaters |
| Great for weekend boaters and families | Ideal for members who boat regularly |
| Premium boats and professional service | Enhanced membership benefits |
| Excellent value for occasional boating | Best choice for maximizing time on the water |
The important thing to remember is that neither membership is “better” than the other. They’re simply designed for different boating lifestyles. Whether you’re on the water every weekend or just several unforgettable times each season, PowerTime now offers a membership that fits your needs.
Why Flexibility Matters
Today’s lifestyles are busier than ever. Between work, family activities, vacations, and other commitments, many people simply don’t have time to use a boat every weekend. That doesn’t mean they love boating any less. Club Membership recognizes that flexibility has become just as important as access.
Instead of feeling like you need to maximize an expensive investment, Club Membership allows you to enjoy boating when it fits your schedule. You can plan family outings, entertain friends, celebrate special occasions, or simply escape for a relaxing afternoon without the financial commitment of boat ownership or a higher-level membership.
It’s boating on your terms.
Who Is Club Membership Perfect For?
Club Membership is an excellent choice for:
- First-time boaters looking for an affordable way to get started
- Families wanting memorable weekends together
- Couples who enjoy relaxing cruises
- Professionals with busy schedules
- Retirees who boat occasionally
- Previous boat owners ready to leave maintenance behind
- Anyone who wants to enjoy premium boating without the costs of ownership
If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to spend more time on the water, but owning a boat doesn’t make sense,” Club Membership was designed with you in mind.
