I took the down payment money for buying into a club and added one year membership dues and just bought a low hour used boat. Now I can boat anytime I want without having to ask lol
So it was my father-in-law who used to be a part of the freedom boat club but unfortunately he's gotten too old to continue to use the boats on his own so he's no longer remember.
Nice video. I too live in West Palm and I just got my fishing license and my first fishing pole. Whats a nice spot in West Palm that I can go fishing with good parking?
If you go down Flagler Drive heading north there's a park with a boat ramp and a couple docks, I don't know how good the fishing is I haven't fished there in years and there is a lot of boat traffic which kind of messes things up but if you go south to the southern blvd bridge and I know they're doing a lot of construction over there but that was a decent place to do some fishing also but they kind of blocked things off and it's not as easy as it used to be to just pull off on the side of the road and fish because you're right there next to Trump's place.
Yes when my father-in-law signed up he had to pass a few courses especially the one for offshore boating. And yes they take reservations he usually books his boat as soon as we get back in from fishing for the next time we want to go out so we can get the boat we like
Hey Mike, thanks for watching so I think when my dad rents the boat it’s from 7AM to about 2PM because we usually get up and hit the water early and he’s always heading back in around 1PM.
@@PalmBeachesPaul I am looking in Dallas area, I guess it best to find out from them, probably different times for different areas of the country. Is he happy with his memebership? To me it not a bad deal at all.
@@mikejones5364 he definitely is, he’s in his 70s so he got tired of pulling his own boat and having to deal with it at the boat ramp. He’s a tough old dog so this works perfect for him. He just makes his reservation and the boat is there waiting for him. I’m hoping to get out with him in the upcoming weeks to try to catch some dolphin
@@PalmBeachesPaul I am not far behind him, I got tired of storing my boat in a warehouse and not having my boat at my house, it was becoming a pain to boat. I had a prior house and could keep a boat in my driveway, where I live now is HOA and upscale and not allowed.
@@PalmBeachesPaul ya It would be nice to get the perspective of someone who doesn't work for the company and isn't trying to sell me something. Don't need to see a video of you cruising around in a boat.
You guys do understand it's a Vlog if I told you how to rent the boat in five minutes that would be a stupid commercial that I'm not getting paid for. My channel is a lifestyle channel about living in Florida so you have to make a video talking about stuff people can do in Florida like going to a boat club and renting a boat and then showing a day on the water and how fun it is I'm not getting paid to make commercials for these people my original statements said if you want to know the blunt facts about using the boat company call the boat company or go stand on the dock and ask someone who rents a boat . Thanks for watching the video. PS there's a feature that you can press that makes a video play two times faster 😉
You got to come up with a big down payment plus the monthly payment, boat slips aren't cheap to rent if you can even find one available and boat storage is about $10 to $12 a foot per month and dont forget maintenance and insurance. And if it was so cheap nobody would join these clubs this isn't the only Club there's a few others and every one of them has lots of members. Plus you can rent out any kind of boat you want, one weekend to can rent a pontoon boat if you just want to have fun with the family the other weekend it can be an offshore boat. thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Awesome 100%!!! Joining a boat club does makes a lot of good sense & seems like an excellent way to enjoy the boating lifestyle!!!
The restaurant next door is amazing. I love the mahi mahi they serve too.
My wife and I have stayed at the resort a few time for weekend getaways. It's a fun place. Thansk for watching.
Awesome video. Your popnlaw is awesome too.
Thanks buddy, just trying to mix in a little bit of what makes Florida great for those looking to move here

If you have the place to keep it that is the best way to do it.
Love all your videos.
Great video. Thank you. I’ll be joining the club!
Thats awesome, be sure to tell them my channel was the reason. maybe they will share my video and get me more subscribers.
Let me know if you need any help with your home search.
@@PalmBeachesPaul Thank you. We are still debating on an area. I’ll be retiring May 1st.
In your experience, How often/much do they raise the monthly maintenance fee?

Doesn't the boat club offer the courses for free? Do they take up reservation spots

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How long can you rent the boat for each trip?

Dam HOAs 🤬😆
Dude 20 minutes. Just explain how the club works
Or you could just call the company yourself and get the information

Can literally buy a new boat & dock slip rental every few years for the price of this lol wtf
