What a membership includes

Options and pricing

Call for current membership options and pricing.

Memberships are limited so that boats stay available to the members who already have them — the club would rather turn someone away than have you unable to get on the water.

Independent, and locally owned

The club was formerly a Carefree Boat Club location and is now independent. The owner has more than thirty years in the marine industry and makes every decision himself — which is why members reach a real person on the phone instead of a corporate reservation line, and why the fleet is the newest on the lake.

Common questions

Do I need my own boat?

No. That is the whole idea. Members complete a boater safety course, then book any boat in the fleet, show up, and go. No trailering, no cleaning, no maintenance, no winter storage.

Do I need a boating license or experience?

Not to join. The club provides training and checks you out on each class of boat before you take it out on your own. Plenty of members had never driven a boat before joining.

How far ahead do I book?

Members book through the member app, from same-day right through to a month out. If you have got a couple of hours free and a boat is open, you can take it for an hour.

What happens when I get to the dock?

The dock crew has the boat ready, walks the safety checklist with you, and helps you off the slip. When you come back you tap once in the app to let them know you are inbound and someone is there to catch a line.

Where do you go from Seabrook Marina?

Clear Lake, the Kemah Boardwalk, Galveston Bay, and the waterfront restaurants along the channel — Pier 6, Top Water Grill, Barge 295 and Schafer’s Coastal Bar are all reachable by boat.

Is this the same as Carefree Boat Club?

No. The club was formerly a Carefree location and is now independent and locally owned. The owner makes every decision himself, which is why members get a real person on the phone rather than a corporate call center.
