Island Boat Club Expands Fleet & Hours
Island Boat Club announced the expansion of its fleet to eight boats in 2024, and the membership club has also extended its peak season operating hours to 8pm when sunlight allows.
Jack Bridges, Owner of Island Boat Club said “Our members can now enjoy evening picnics on the boat and it gives them more opportunities to go out during the week after work.
“We started Island Boat Club at the end of 2020 with the vision of offering all the joys of the boating lifestyle without the burden of a high initial outlay and the often unexpected yearly costs that come with boat ownership. We are always looking for ways to enhance our membership and the extended operating hours will bring greater value and flexibility to our members.”
The spokesperson said, “This year marks another milestone for Island Boat Club as the fleet is set to expand to eight boats. The seventh boat, a 24ft Chapparal and a Premier/Fractional Level boat is perfect for picnics and water sports and is expected to be added to the fleet imminently, and the eighth boat is due to be secured by the end of the year. Island Boat Club is the only boat membership in Bermuda that allows its members exclusive use of its fleet.”
Mr Bridges said, “With our expanding fleet and choice of membership options, we aim to make the boating lifestyle more accessible even for those who don’t have boating experience and need the confidence of an experienced team behind them. We take training and safety very seriously and offer complimentary, water safety and boat operation lessons by a qualified captain for all new members.
“Our members are a great mix of locals and expats with a range of boat know-how. Membership is a good opportunity for someone who doesn’t want the commitment and hassle of boat ownership or doesn’t know how long they will be on the island and wants to experience the best of Bermuda by water!”
The spokesperson said, “Island Boat Club offers three distinct membership packages tailored to individual lifestyles and preferences. If you are interested in membership visit islandboatclub.bm or contact Jack Bridges at membership@islandboatclub.bm.”
