Some people are interested in knowing the differences between joining up with a boat club or yacht club versus owning a boat. I can tell you right now that they advantages definitely outweigh the negatives. But, to take a closer look at this, let's take a look at some of these benefits so that you can make the best choice for you and your family!

First off, owning a boat means that you will have to buy a $300,000 yacht or boat - possibly more depending on whom you are buying it from and what kind of a boat it is. When it comes to joining a yacht club or boat club, you don't have to worry about the full price of the boat because you won't be buying it. It comes with the membership!

Second off, when you own a boat you have to always worry about managing it (keeping it secure) and maintaining it. Frankly, this can be a big pain because it costs a lot of money on top of the money it cost you to buy it, to maintain a boat. You might just be thinking about the boat slip and gas right now. But, you also need to consider crew and paying them, as well as the boat itself.



If anything happens to your own private boat such as the engine or the sail or what have you, YOU have to pay to get it fixed! On the other hand, if you belong to a club, they deal with all of this and you just get to enjoy the boat itself without having to have all the stress of owning the boat on your own. This is probably of the biggest advantages!

Next, you need to consider the fact that you might not be able to afford the biggest or the best boat. Remember, these yachts and sailboats are expensive! Do yourself a favor and get the most updated Yacht or Boat available without having to worry about how it's effecting your bank account.

You can find both the Back Cove power boat or Catalina sailing yacht available at these clubs - and it's not extra. Just the membership! If you want to and you can afford it, be my guest; find sailboats for sale in your area. But, I can make a rough estimation as to what your face is going to look like when you look for sailboats for sale on something like Catalina Yachts!

It's going to look like you literally got the wind knocked out of you! Make it a little easier on yourself and your wallet and at least check into these Boat club and yacht club memberships! I think you will find a big sigh of relief exiting from your mouth!
