Joining a boat club offers an accessible and flexible way to enjoy the pleasures of boating without the complexities of ownership. Here are the top five reasons to consider becoming a member of the Fairview Boat Club here in the UK:
1. Cost-Effective Sailing
For £495 per month and no joining fee, Fairview Boat Club members gain access to a diverse fleet of yachts and powerboats without the high costs associated with boat ownership. This membership model converts your fee into points, which can be spent on boat usage, RYA courses, UK Bareboat Charters, and more, offering significant savings and flexibility.
2. Access to a Wide Range of Boats
The Fairview Boat Club boasts a fleet of 30+ yachts and RIBs, including 16 matched Oceanis 37s, ensuring availability and variety. Members can choose from different boat types depending on their needs and preferences, making it easy to try out various vessels without committing to a single boat.
3. High-Quality and Well-Maintained Fleet
Fairview’s commitment to quality is evident in their rigorous maintenance and cleaning standards. Every boat undergoes thorough checks and is professionally valeted before each use, ensuring a top-notch experience every time you set sail.
4. Flexibility and Convenience
Membership offers unparalleled flexibility. There are no restrictions on last-minute bookings, and unused points can roll over, providing more sailing opportunities. Unlike other Boat Club models, the Fairview Boat Club does not run a ‘rotation’ system, so you are not limited to sailing ‘when it’s your turn’ on the rota. So, if the weather is looking good and you fancy a trip over to the Ise of Wight for a spot of lunch at The Hut or a trip along the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast, you can (subject to availability of course!). Members can also benefit from up to 40% off regular rates depending on booking times, allowing for cost-effective, spontaneous trips.
5. Comprehensive Support and Training
Whether you’re a novice or an experienced sailor, the club provides extensive support. Members can book professional skippers to help build experience and spend points on RYA courses and bespoke training like our Boat Handling Course. This support system ensures that all members, regardless of skill level, can enjoy safe and confident sailing.
