Our family joined the club in June 2020 after receiving a strong recommendation from a close friend. In just over two months, we have thoroughly enjoyed it! Reservations are easy. The marina is simple to navigate and the team there is always extremely helpful! Recently, we took advantage of the partnership between our club with a club on Lake Travis - and it worked like a charm. While we love our marina the best, being able to enjoy the club on other lakes really extends the value of this membership. We were skeptical of how simple and easy that would be, but it exceeded our expectations. It was just as easy as using our own boat club. Friendly people. Anytime we head to the boat, we literally are on and off the boat in under 10 minutes. We get all the benefits of owning a boat without any of the headache. Totally worth it.
Update 07 May. Well, after a few negotiation talks, we came to the conclusion that #14 and I are not meant to be. It will stay the way it is, until sold and replaced at end of this season, and thats fine.We both will make sure not to book it anytime this season.A shame as it is the better decked out for fishing tritoon in the outfit. Probably why it got a lot of use.Seems that my idea of comfort and useability is different from the clubs.I just had to get clarification on what we were really getting out of this contract.And now we are both in line with what I am getting from the Club, versus what I was expecting from the Club. Two huge differences.(Which means I have to do a better job of researching before committing to anything going forward. My Bad. I have to own this one. So that is that. End of Story).We went out in another unit Sunday, on Cinco de Mayo. The lake wake empty, cept for a few wakeboards and a couple of sailboats. We had the whole lake to ourselves. We know that will not happen much till the end of summer.We enjoyed fishing and caught an 18 inch catfish in a low channel.We dont have a fishing boat for this Saturday so we will be going to just enjoy. But Im going to take a small pole with a jig to play with.Update 27 April. Not a full month, but this will be our 4th outing. The 2nd time on a tritoon that had been abused last season and was not fixed over the winter. (#14). (Conversation omitted by me).JOMO (Just One Mans Opinion, Mine!)06 April, my 65th birthday.So far its a nice place to be a part of. Will update after a month of busy mode to see how it really goes. But for the most part, its pretty good right now. (Boy was I in for a awakening!)
We joined 2 months ago and it’s been incredible. It’s hard to believe how easily you can get on/off the lake with the boat club model. My wife and I have 3 teenagers and they all love it! It’s a great family activity that keeps us connected we let our kids invite their friends out too. Wake surfing/tubing and wakeboarding keeps them off their phones without causing friction or making us look like the bad guys. In fact we look like heroes!
So happy we made the decision to join. First class service, professional, beautiful brand new boats of your choice... toys, life vests and everything you need to enjoy a day on the lake without the prep, maintenance and clean up! Superior concierge service. So affordable! Way less the cost of owning a boat.
The entire NBC team at Little Elm is amazing and makes this boating membership feel like a steal! We absolutely love our experience and the team keeps all their brand new boats in tip-top shape. Its a fantastic way to test the waters of owning a boat without the significant cost of actually owning a boat!
The Nautical Boat Club is as advertised and we are so impressed with the manner in which business is conducted. The Club has members best interest in mind as evidenced by additions (plural) to the fleet amidst rising membership. Do the math and youll see that the Nautical Boat Club is a tremendous value.
Great choice to join NBC this season! Fantastic dock crew and staff. Michael and truly the entire crew are always willing to share tips whether it’s water sports advice or a good fish in’ hole!
From the office to the doc, the staff is very helpful, courteous, and professional. The fleet of boats are in excellent condition with many great amenities. If you dont want the hassles of owning your own boat, this is the way to go!
I got to go as a guest of a member. It was super convenient having the boat already ready to go when we got there, and then not having to worry about cleaning at the end of the day. The boat we went out on was great for wake surfing!
Best decision I’ve made. Nautical Boat Club is fantastic and miles ahead of the competition. Dave, Ilsa, and the dock guys are a pleasure to work with. A+ team all around
We have 4 children and their friends!A large circle of our friends( and clients, too!)Our membership at NBC has been a joy for many occasions!Whether Wake Surfing for Birthdays, Taking the dogs out and having dinner w friends on the Tritoon, Or just a quiet, romantic day for us to unwindas a “ date” on a Luxurious ski boatWe enjoy the fleet and enjoy the high quality we have available to us !We’ve never been turned down for a reservation if made 2 wks in advance.So scheduling hasn’t been a problem in anyway!The dock staff are all polite and courteous and well mannered young people who aim to please !Our membership has been a delight and works wonderfully for my real estate clients and Our friends and family at American Airlines / NavyThanks Dave and Elsa and the Crew for growing our circle of love thru boating !We’ve enjoyed the water sports that keep us young and healthy ! Thanks for giving us this opportunity to share!
We have had a wonderful summer with Nautical Boat Club! Boats are amazing, staff is courteous, and the concierge style service makes boating easy and fun!
Ive been very happy with my experience. Boats are in excellent condition, the reservation process is fairly easy once you get the hang of it and the whole staff is professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Call Dave and sign up, youll love it!
Nautical has great boats and super staff! Dave goes the extra mile to make sure members are taken care of!
Bought a boat off of Nautical Boat Club and man I must say they take great care of their boats! I bought the boat site unseen due to me living in Florida. It was in phenomenal shape and you would never guess it had over 800 hours! A friend of mine has the exact same boat with only 100 hours and it runs no different. They took care of the transaction in a very professional manner. Any pictures or videos I wanted they sent. Would not hesitate to buy from them again! Thanks to David, Chris, and also Todd from Waterski America! Top notch company here!
NBC is my first experience with a boat club, and I couldnt be happier! The staff are super professional and helpful. There is a great number and selection of boats, and the covered slip amenities are super! They provide the skis, wakeboards, wake surf boards, lines, fenders, and personal flotation devices! The dock staff hustle hard and are super friendly. If youre a novice to boating, they provide a mandatory orientation on several boats to get you comfortable with boating and docking. You just show up at the slip, the staff will load your boat, and push you out from the slip. Then, when you done enjoying the lake, return it to the fuel dock. They handle fueling the boat back up and you pay for the gas with an account you set up with marina store. They return the boat back to the slip. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!! This club rocks!!!
Joined the Nautical Boat Club in late April and wondering why I waited this long. Being a lifetime boater, this is the way boating should be done. Top notch equipment, amazing staff and such a great family experience! We’ve absolutely loved every minute of our time on the lake and the people at Nautical Boat Club make all the difference. Ilsa is a rockstar at reservations, especially amidst unprecedented demand due to COVID. She’s always pleasant and accommodating. Justin and his dock gang are also fantastic. Those guys are always happy to do whatever it takes to make your day on the water the greatest. They’re all great but guys like Eli, Romelo and Michael never seem to have a bad day out there. Give these guys a look and we’ll see you on the water!
Being in a boat is very enjoyable but these people made it more enjoyable than ever! They are very nice and their prices are the best. Thanks so much!!
We have been members for 2 years and love it. We had very little knowledge of boats before joining but their training session was great and having a whole fleet of boats to choose from has been wonderful. We can take a pontoon out with friends one weekend to tube and hang out in a cove, then take out a speedboat the next weekend to let the kids wake surf. We make a reservation, tell them what equipment we want, then show up and the boat is loaded. When we are done, we pull up to the dock and head home. All of the fun of owning a boat with none of the headaches.
We’ve been members for about 6 months. Very impressed with the quality of the boats and the customer service. Staff does a great job in all aspects. For a young family of 5, this is a great option for enjoying the lake without the hassle of boat ownership. Highly recommend!
A friend took my husband and I out on the Nautical Boat Club double decker boat for my husband’s birthday. They prepared our boat for us and cleaned it up at the end making our day enjoyable and effortless. My husband had a memorable birthday celebration that included a delicious lunch at Fair Winds and maybe a bit too much fun on the slide off our boat into Lake Lewisville!
We have been members for over a year now. In fact, we’ve thus far enjoyed two summer seasons. What an amazing concept. No hassles that go along with boat ownership. But, all of the fun. They take such great care of us here. Kathleen, Jonathon and David are the best. They do all they can to treat us like family. New boats with all the water sports toys, flotation devices etc., included. 5 star rating all the way.
I have been a member for 3 years. I would say friendly staff when you are there and dock staff is very helpful. However, during this time the business executives have made a decision to continue to charge their members even though the Govt has shut them down. None of the boats are allowed to be used, and they still require all members to pay their monthly fees. They use a small print line from the contract on page 5 sec X paragraph X that states; they can forego their obligations if a situation is out of their control; though no matter what the circumstance is the members can not forego their obligation to pay. This is a very selfish way to do business and it shows they are more concerned with themselves making a profit than their members (which allow them to make a profit)
Just got the platinum membership and its amazing! I spend like 4-5 days out of the week out on the water now. The staff is excellent, Justin is always taking care of everything. I would highly recommend this to friends and family!
Nice place for family fun time in water
I am a single mother of 2 pre-teen boys and I can tell you hands down, this boating membership was the best family decision of 2017. The investment was a game changer for our summer fun... less time on devices or video games, less money spent on trips to arcade rooms (where hundreds of dollars translate into a whoopie cushion). The memories made with family and friends were beautiful and we are looking forward to many more! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, going to any length to make our training and outings comfortable and hassle-free. These guys are first-class! Thank you, Jonathan & Kathleen for all you do!
The Nautical Boat Club Dallas is one of the best things we did as a family. We love the variety of boats to choose from at the club, and they are always clean and ready for a fun day on the lake. Jonathan, Kathleen, and the entire team make the experience easy and painless. The club allows you to focus on all of the best parts of boating without the worries of boat ownership. If you enjoy wake surfing, skiing, fishing, or just relaxing on the lake, you cannot go wrong with this club.
I first heard about Nautical Boat Club from a friend from church. We went out a few times and I fell in love with how easy and convenient it was. No slip rentals, no maintenance costs, no hours spent cleaning the boat, no losing your truck and trailer in the lake while trying to loan/unload. Its pretty much a no brainer. It wasnt too long after that I scheduled a time to come out and meet with Jonathan and walk through the member process.Orientation was pretty quick and painless. Justin did a great job going over everything on the different boats and helping us learn how to dock them safely. Smooth and Steady - use the drift!Scheduling through the website is a breeze. Very rarely have I not been able to get the type of boat that I wanted on a specific outing. Kathleen does a great job working her magic to try and get you taken care of.Dock hands have all been very polite and will usually help loading/unloading coolers/bags. They can also inflate any floaties you may have brought with you for the day.All in all I am really happy with my experience and hope to be a member for a long time.I have also taken a boat out on the Grapevine lake location. It was a little tougher to access due to high water levels at the time I went, but everything membership was was still very much on point.
I felt compelled to share my experience with the boat club even though I am not a member. My wife and I were with some friends at the marina where the club is located and were very impressed with what we observed. A man was interacting with the customers and was so excited to send people out on a boat for the day and treated everyone like they are best friends. I was sure he was the owner and had to stop and talk with him. To my surprise this passionate, customer centric man was not the owner but just an amazing employee of the club. After a quick conversation with Conor I knew I needed to learn more about joining so I sent an email and received a very quick response. So far the experience has been the best I have received in some time. If the club experience is anything like Conor provided that day I am signing up.
Professional, accommodating, courteous, - this is how I would describe the staff at Nautical Boat Club. The entire process, from online reservation and then tweaking equipment at pick-up, to docking for the day and walking away, is a work of art. The experience is simply the best. Plus the organization is proactive with continuous improvements in equipment and new boats yearly. These guys take all the hassle out of owning a boat and let you just enjoy your time out on the lake. Im a very happy customer! Try them out!
I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Nautical Boat Club. Sadly we moved away before the end of our contract. Today I received an email from Jonathan letting me know he got paid after our contract ended and he remembered that we moved. Apparently we forgot to turn off the automatic payments. Not only a great place but a level of integrity that is seldom found anymore. Bravo Nautical Boat Club!
Good times start at the lake!Having owned boats of all sizes and shapes over the decades, we were curious to give this concept a try. Would we like the boats? Would we be able to reserve what we wanted when we wanted them? Would we feel like we were getting our moneys worth?After 3 months, we are pleased to say that it has been a solid yes on all fronts! Reservations have been painless, and we have had no issues getting a boat when we wanted. On a rare occasion, a particular type of boat may be unavailable, and we just picked a different type of boat. We have 19 boats to choose from! The crews are always very polite and pleasant, and ready to assist. You basically walk on to the boat, get settled and once you are ready, the crew helps you cast off and away you go. The boat is loaded with all the toys of our choosing. Tube, skis, wake boards, surf boards, ropes, life jackets. The boats and all the accessories are always clean, well-maintained and up-to-date. We call the dock when we are ready to return, and somebody will be waiting to guide us in to the gas pump, where you step right off, pay for your gas in the marina store and youre DONE! It really is an all-inclusive feeling.We feel like we get all the enjoyment of boating without the traditional physical effort, maintenance or stress of owning a boat. The ease even allows us to take the boat out on weekday evenings after work, which we would probably not have the luxury (or energy) to do with traditional ownership.Our children have become little lake rats. Plus, a few hours a week less on their device screens doing something active and healthy is simply PRICELESS!
Great place to get membership if You always plan your outings two weeks in advance. Getting to where if I request same week more than half the time the boat I want is not available. And fishing on lake lewisville Doesn’t get really good until about 7 so having to return by 8 sort of limits the hot fishing times. Boats are nice. Service is nice. They absolutely gouge you on gas prices though.
We have been members of Nautical Boat Club for a little over a year. We couldnt be happier with our decision to join. Kathleen, Jonathan and the employees that work for them on the dock are awesome! We have spent holidays and birthdays out on the lake and always have a great time. The club makes it so convenient and worry free to just load ourselves and our stuff on the boat and head out for a day of fun on the water. Were looking forward to another great summer on the lake, thanks to Nautical Boat Club!!
The wife and I joined the Nautical Boat Club in early June. Since then we have been very happy the decision. The staff is TOP notch and we always feel welcomed and taken care of. It is a great value and have enjoyed our time out on the lake. The fleet of boats are excellent, and the availability of getting a boat is very good. If you follow the advise they give you and plan ahead you can get the boat you want. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone that wants to enjoy some time on the lake without the extra hassles of owning a boat.
Weve been so happy to be NBC members. This membership gives us the opportunity to get out of city life and into nature while also enjoying boating, swimming, fishing, etc. The hight light of our familys week is our time on the boat. NBC makes it so easy to climb aboard the boat, push off, tube, ski, knee-board, wake-board, surf, etc, and return the boat for them to clean, and maintain. Its the best way to own a boat!
My family has been part of the Nautical Boat Club for three years and have loved every minute! Kathleen, Jonathan, and staff do an outstanding job start to finish. This club is first class and you are treated as such when you are a member.The reservation process is fully automated and we have never had an issue getting a boat on a day we requested. Having two small children, safety is very important to my wife and me. All boats are fueled, inspected and ready when you arrive at the dock. The Nautical crew ensures that all life jackets and water toys that you requested are on the boat prior to your arrival.Beginner or Novice boating experience, Nautical Boat Club is the only way to spend your time on the water!!
Great boat club! Weve enjoyed many great times on Lake Lewisville with both wakesurfing and tritoon boats. The boats are all in great shape, clean and ready to go for us when we arrive for our reservations. The staff is excellent and friendly!
Just finished our first summer at Nautical Boat Club and it has been a fantastic experience. The crew at every level has been very professional and the boats are all clean and new. The toys are always ready and the staff is happy to help! Looking forward to many more fun outings with friends and family!
Been a member of the Nautical Boat Club in Lake Lewisville since early summer. I have boated pretty much on a weekly basis since, in every type of boat available in the fleet. Bowriders for those flat, glassy, speedy days. Tritoons when you are looking for comfort and space to host a larger group. Wakeboarding boats when looking to pull boarders/donuts - and/or create waves for surfers (yes, that is a thing!).They really do truly have a boat for every need.All boats are well maintained and in excellent condition. All gauges, sensors and controls work as expected. All vessels are comfortable to ride and easy to operate. For each outing, you can add all necessary life jacket requirements and water toys (inflatable donut, boards, towing lines) – and this is all inclusive!The staff – both in the office and on the dock – are professional, super friendly, ready to listen to your questions and provide answers, and really do look out for your safety. They are always ready to guide you to a good time on the lake. You can’t really ask for anything more than that.The online booking tool is very easy to use. Typically, you send your request in, you get a confirmation within a day, and then it is just a case of turning up at the agreed date/time. The boat is ready and loaded for you to board and motor onto the lake. Once you return from your outing, the dock staff is always available to help you dock in the marina, and see you off the boat with a smile.The whole boat club team are excellent at making your boating experience as smooth as possible.I highly recommend the Nautical Boat!See you on the lake!
Top of the line wake boarding and fishing/lounger boats that they continually rotate out for the newest models every year. Its great to drive down to the dock, hop in one of the baddest boats on the lake, already fully loaded with all the gear & be on your way. Dock mates are also cool people. 5 stars
My wife and I have been members for a year and hands-down it is one of the best things we’ve ever done. If you are thinking of buying a boat, STOP! Call the boat club you will be so happy you did. Thank you for a great service!
What a hidden gem right down the road in Little Elm. We are so excited to be members of this awesome club. I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to disconnect out on the lake with our family. Recently moving from the East Coast, it was hard to not be close to water. Lake Lewisville is so gorgeous & we are truly enjoying “lake life”. The crew at Nautical Boat Club-Dallas is top-notch...always ready to assist, stock the boat with all of our needs & do it with a friendly, positive attitude. They are such a pleasure to see every time we climb aboard for an outing. Keep up the great work. We look forward to MANY outings to come.
We have been members since last March. The club has been one of the best investments weve ever made. The boats are new, clean and in wonderful condition. As promised, we have been able to get almost 100% of our reservations. I would highly recommend Nautical Boat Club over owning your own boat. We love having the variety of boats and toys to enjoy. No maintenance, insurance, slip fees...just fun. The Hargroves that manage this franchise are a pleasure to work with too.
My experience with Nautical Boat Club has been nothing but positive. This family owned operation maintains their fleet and has high regard for effective communication with their members. This was my initial issue when shopping for a boat club, lack of communication. When I fist contacted Nautical Boat Club they instantly made me comfortable and welcome. They respond within 24 hours and are kind and attentive when you arrive to the dock. The marina itself is well kept and has restrooms and easy to pull into gas stations. Looking forward to more boats being added to the fleet.
For somebody like me who doesn’t want to deal with the hassles that come with owning a boat, this is a perfect alternative! You order the boat you want in advance, drive to the lake and you are ready to go. After your outing you drop it of at the dock, pay for the fuel and that is it! They have a great variety of boats to pick from and real friendly staff! Highly recommend joining the club !!
Ive never owned a boat and after the great experience provided by Nautical Boat Club - Dallas, I see no reason to do so anytime in the near future. For anyone wanting to take the plunge into boat ownership, this is the way to go. The photos weve taken and shared with friends have made us the envy of our posse and everyone cant wait until they get their invite. So what are you waiting for, life is all about new experiences and spending time with those you care about.
This is the first time joining the Nautical Boat Club in Dallas and we could not be happier! Great way to spend quality time on the water without the hassle or expense of owning your own boat. We select the type of boat we want for the day, make a reservation and head down to Lobo Lane in Little Elm to enjoy our day. Everyone associated with Nautical Boat Club that we have met and worked with has been highly professional and explained the process in detail. No hidden fees, everything up front. If you are looking for a way to get on the water without having to purchase a boat, have the storage expense or even take the time to clean the boat then Nautical Boat Club is for you! Best decision we made this summer!
My husband and I grew up boating in Texas but with 3 young kids we dont have the capacity to be cleaning, fixing, maintaining, and winterizing a boat. We werent sure how much wed use our membership to the Nautical Boat Club, but it has been absolutely worth it. Weve taken kids fishing a time or two in the winter, and gone out as adults and as families almost every weekend over the summers. We love being able to check out gear thats appropriate for the day (wake board, wake surf, water ski, etc) and love being able to choose a different type of boat depending on who is joining us. Weve been out with brand new babies up to teenagers, and its always a great time. My husband entertains for business on the lake as well. We have recruited friends to join the club and everyone has loved it. Cannot recommend more highly!
Love the Nautical team. We wanted to buy a boat, but a friend told us about the club. For less money, we get such an amazing experience. The owners and staff are friendly and and genuinely want to make sure that the members have a wonderful boating experience. The boats are all practically brand new and there are plenty for all of the members. Ive never not been able to get a boat when I wanted one. I am looking forward to another great season on the water!
I joined Nautical Boat Club (NBC) earlier this past summer and couldnt be happier with the decision. Ive never owned a boat and didnt want the hassle of owning one, so for me NBC was a logical way of getting out on the water and enjoying time with family and friends. From the beginning I was impressed by the fact that the owners (John & Kathleen) took the time to meet all potential new members and demonstrated a genuine level of pride in what they offer while answering any questions about the club. Their fleet of boats are all well equipped and very well maintained and all but guarantee a great boating experience. Their crew of dock-hands work closely with the Marina where the club is located and they are always courteous and responsive and ready to assist in any way they can to get you safely launched and on your way. If youre considering joining a boating club NBC is one to put at the top of your short list for consideration. Highly recommended!!
Weve owned boats ourselves but decided to try the Nautical membership and not have the hassle of maintenance and repairs. This has been great, both Kathleen and Jonathon are super to work with and the deckhand service is awesome. We simply walk up to the boat already loaded with all the toys, get in, and have fun in the sun. Once were finished just pull up to the dock and get out while they fuel the boat. All the boats are very well maintained and look like new. We also took advantage of the sister membership on Lake Travis one weekend and the service was just like it is at our home marina. Highly recommended!
We love the fact that we can take out a variety of boats. The boats are all new and in mint condition. Im a new boater and I found that the club gave great training to be safe on the water.We save a ton of time using the club. We just show up and the boat is ready for us to enjoy. When we return the staff take care of cleaning and maintaining the boat.The price to join the club was way less than purchasing a boat plus we get the advantage of using a variety of boat types. The staff are super friendly and the reservation process is very simple. I would highly recommend this club if you are at all thinking about joining a club or buying a boat.
Nautical Boat Club is amazing, Jonathan and staff are professional, courteous, friendly and everything is always all set up and ready for me. They are very accommodating and flexible to my needs and always go the extra mile. The boat selection is great, the price is right and the people are phenomenal. I have been with other boats clubs in the area and NBC is by far the best. I would recommend to all my friends and family. Everyone I have taken out on lake raves about the staff and all the wonderful boats and toys. If you enjoy being out on the water, dont hesitate, Nautical Boat Club is for you.
We love the Nautical Boat Club of Dallas. It is very relaxing to be able to float on the lake. The Boat Club has a great fleet of boats for a variety of boating experiences. And the Club keeps the fleet in great working order. You just show up and the boats are ready for you to go boating. You dont have to worry about maintenance, cleaning, etc. The Nautical Boat Club is a great alternative to owning a boat.
We’ve been a member for over a year and love the convenience and quality of the Boat Club. All the boats have been wonderful to use, are high-end models, and new or near new. Jonathan and his team deliver excellent customer service for every outing. They always have the boats clean and ready with whatever water toys we want – we just walk up and are on our way. The best part for me is that the Boat Club has been a great way for my family to enjoy regular quality time together, away from all the electronics and distractions of daily life, and just having fun being together. We’ve created some great memories and look forward to more to come.
Imagine valet parking plus 5 star dining experience... But on the water. I have been a member now for 3 months and have had an extremely positive experience. The staff is quick to accommodate to my needs with efficiency. Each boat is top notch, clean and in great condition. It is obvious the staff takes pride in this company. Highly recommended. - B Jones
Best decision of our lives. Brand new boats with all the toys: surfing (I didnt even know surfing was a thing!!), wakeboarding, and tubing! These boats are full-powered speed boats with amazing sound systems and in brand new condition. The club owns great pontoon boats too, but we cant stay away from the speed boats. The club is run by professionals and they always make us feel like royalty. This is a great way to break up the weekend, pull the kids away from their electronics and get the older kids to visit a lot more!
We were thinking of purchasing a boat but, my husband was hesitant with all the expenses that would be involved. So, we decided to give Nautical Boat Club a try. The best decision weve made.All we do is make a reservation and show up at the marina, hop aboard then, hit the lake. When we return from a day on the lake we pull up to the marina hand over the boat and get in our car. Couldnt be easier and no hassles of owning a boat. And you are able to use different types of boats whether you are in the mood for some wakeboard action or need a chill day in a pontoon.Johnathan and Kathleen are the best people and their staff are always helpful and courteous. If you are thinking of joining the club. Just do it. You will be glad you did. It is awesome!
Staff is great, experiences are even better. They making boating so fun and the club removes all the headaches of boat ownership. We love boating with them and the fleet of boats is terrific!!
We joined Nautical Boat Club this year and it has been an amazing experience. We were with another boat club on Lake Lewisville for years so we knew the advantages of being part of a boat club vs owning a boat. Nautical Boat club provides new boats that are well maintained and their staff is exceptional. They are the best boat club in the area! I wish we had known about them years ago.
Weve been members for almost a year, we only wished we found Nautical earlier. We like the variety of boats and related activities, including all the equipment that is available. Whether going fishing, zooming up and down the lake for fun or wake surfing the equipment and the boats are always ready.The staff are also knowledgable, willing to help and add to the overall experience. Our family have made so many great memories on the lake and we look forward to making many more.In summary all the fun of owning a boat without any of the hassles.
This is an AMAZING experience! So much easier than owning a boat the staff is great, the boats are awesome and always in great condition and ready to jump in and leave once you arrive! If you want a boat but dont want all of the hassles of owning your own this is a perfect option for you!
Completed my second summer and it is the best possible way to get out on the lake! Just show up and the boat is prepped and ready with all desired gear. It is like having your own fleet of boats to choose from depending on your desire for the day from water sports to just anchoring to enjoy a day in a cove. Totally changed how I spend my summers.
Jonathan and Kathleen really have created something awesome here! My time has a member has been amazing, exceeding every expectation.My wife and sons (age 6 and 8) are constantly asking to go out on the new boat...which is hard to do considering it seems like a brand new boat is coming in every month. The quality of the boats is simply unmatched, I have a hard time figuring out which boats are a year old vs brand new. Boats are fully loaded and plenty big enough for us to easily bring out other families to enjoy time on the lake with us.Having moved from Chicago, we hadnt ventured much into water sports, so we decided to take advantage of all the different toys (wake boards, water skis, knee boards, tubes, wake surfers, etc) and quickly learned that they are quite a bit easier with great equipment. All included with Nautical.Highly recommend! Cant wait to get out on the lake again soon, think we are going at least twice this week...boats always available.The Baldwin Family
Major kudos to Jonathon and Kathleen from Nautical Boat Club on running a fantastic business with emphasis on great customer experience. Weve been members for a year now and could not be happier with our decision to join. The no hassle and VIP experience you get on each outing is outstanding. Their boats are always well maintained and are newer models, and since weve joined, they invested in 5 new boats added to the fleet and also replaced older models (by old I mean only 2 years old) with 2016 year models. We have not once ever had an issue getting a reservation for a boat and we also had an opportunity to use the sister club privileges in Austin (to which they also treated us like a VIP). Between Jonathon, Kathleen and their staff along with the marinas staff, its come to feel like small family which we love. Thank you for the experience and the memories were creating with our family!
This is the best kept secret in town!!! As a boat owner, we loved our v-drive wake board boat, but the cost in time, maintenance, and everything else that comes with ownership was expensive. The boat club has an incredible fleet of boats for every level of person. From experienced to entry level. The staff rolls out the red carpet and all for a fraction of the cost of ownership. I cant believe we didnt join sooner!!! If you love boating, and spending time with your family and friends. This is a no brainier!!!!
Only positive things can be said about Nautical Boat Club. Big thanks to Jonathan, Kathleen, and their team for running such a great franchise location. I was originally nervous about availability, but we are able to go pretty much every weekend were in town.
I have been a member for almost a year now and it is the perfect option for me. Not only is the staff awesome and very attentive, the variety of boats fits many different needs. It is the best option to anyone who is looking to get on the lake, without the expenses that come along with purchasing your own! Highly recommend this club!
Nautical Boat club has been by far one of the best investments I could have made, both for personal enjoyment, and also its great for outings with clients and employees. I have used the club on multiple lakes, and the process couldnt be more simple. Owning a boat requires so much time, money, and effort. Nautical makes it easy, affordable, and fun! Thank you!!!!
I love going tubing with my friends
A better managed boat country club cannot be found nationally. Boats are all almost brand new, and no boat is older than 2 years old. Service is impeccable - Dave and Ryan put a great deal of effort into making sure members have everything they need as they launch off from the marina. Prices are very reasonable. Ive been thrilled.
After having boats throughout my life, the cost associated per trip were rather large. The club allows us to have a consistent lower cost, but also have the ability to utilize many different boats. From wake boats, bow riders to pontoons - we have the ability to choose the type of boat that is good for that trip.
I joined the club at the beginning of August and so far it has been a great experience. Ive taken my son fishing a number of times and a group of kids tubing which was a blast for all. the boats are always spotless and well maintained and the dock crew is always extremely helpful and patient in getting loaded up, explaining different aspects of the boat and how to use it for the different activities. They truly want you to have a great time.The whole process is pretty idiot proof and all your time will be spent on the water having fun. My sister in law, who owns a boat, was just in town and we went out. She couldnt believe how nice it was to be able to step off the boat at the end of the day and leave all cleaning and maintenance to someone else. I think if she didnt have a boat dock on her lakeside property she would join the Nautical Boat Club up in Nashville.
As first year members, weve been very pleased with Jonathan and Kathleens operation of the boat club. Ryan and crew have been very helpful in getting us out of the water in a timely manner and receiving us back in on return of the boat. Our family has enjoyed our time on the lake.
We get our boat fix with Nautical Boat Club.Our boat is always on the water, loaded w water toys and ski jackets.The staff aims to please and makes the experience fun and simple.Friends and family love it!We wont be buying a boat anytime soon with this awesome deal.
This is the first time we have ever joined a boat club and we are extremely pleased that we did!! Thank you Nautical for the family memories we are making on your beautiful boats!!
I love fishing here.
Great value and its easy. Just show up and jump on your boat and dock it when your finished. In and out. My wife and kids love it. Best thing Ive done for the family in a while.
My wife and I have been looking at, considering boats for several years. We both grew up in the metroplex and have endured the Texas heat like foreva… for the last 15 years we considered ourselves a snow skiing family first and foremost so most of our time off and vaca budgeting was committed to enduring Texas until Colorado got all snowed up. We spent 8 weeks in Colorado in 2106 and 2017. We loved it, considered finally moving there but after a lot of contemplation and soul searching we decided to stay here. What to do with the dang heat though ??? We decided to give Nautical a one year try to see how this could fit into our lifestyle. We signed on the dotted line and my mother passed within a few days of that. I can’t tell you how helpful it has been to sit on a lake for long hours either by myself, with my daughter or wife or… all 3 of us. Listening to our favorite Pandora Channels, eating snacky type dinners. Hanging fishing tackle over the side just to do it, not necessarily catch anything. The service has been impeccable. The ease of getting on and off the water is an eye opener to the boating experience. The cost is very fair considering the options and I have considered. I am very excited about transitioning to using Club Boats to have more fun than to just overcome. So much so I can see us modifying our time away to be more around warmer water than frozen water. Life is Good !!!
Called them 5 different times on 5 different occasions no once picked up. Submitted a online inquiry and didn’t even get a reaponse there. If it’s this hard for me to get a hold of them to GIVE them money, I can only imagine how hard it would be if I had issues. Stay away.
We recently joined Nautical Boat Club, and it has been a great experience. Boat Orientation was today with Ryan, very informative and patient in his teaching. We walked away with confidence in our boating skills and knowledge of the layout of Lake Lewisville. We look forward to our first day on the lake later this week, as well as using their sister clubs on Lake Austin and Lake Travis.
We joined Nautical Boat Club because it was the most convenient and least expensive way to get out on the lake. We have been wanting to buy a boat but couldnt decide which kind we wanted. Now, for less money than one boat would cost we have our choice of eight. Jonathan and his team run an amazing operation and will bend over backwards for you. Everybody I have had contact with was awesome, but Ryan, the dock master, is the glue that holds it together. He is knowledgable and professional but very patient with you if you havent done much boating before. You just cannot beat driving to the marina and shoving off 10 minutes later in a brand new, spotless, fully fueled boat with the water toys you requested already on board. In our first week we were out on the water, in our first choice of boats, three times. My kids do not want to go home, but when we have to my favorite part is parking it, handing it over to Ryan, and walking away.
There is no better way to break away from the stress of work and life. Nautical Boat Club takes away the responsibilities of owning a boat and makes it simply easy to relax and enjoy the water with your family and friends. Johnathon, Kathleen and Ryan are awesome!
When we signed up even though we had all of the correct information we felt that it was too good to be true. There had to be some catch or detail being left out because it was too easy. Make a reservation online in about a minute or less when you get to know the process. Show up and have fun on whatever boat you happened to pick. Any water toys you asked for will be on boat ready to go for you.Fourteen boats and soon to be 15 boats. Bow riders, wake boats, and tritoons. When your done come back to marina to gas up. Pay for gas and your on your way. Thats the whole process everytime. I cant find a catch or detail we dont like.
We were club members at a different boat club and we were up for renewal. The last club we were at moved on the opposite side of the lake from us, which made us want to look around. We found Nautical which is 5 minutes from our house. At the time of our tour we fell in love the minute we looked around. The boats are brand new, clean, looks like they just came from the dealership. We have been out once so far and all the life jackets, wake boards... everything is brand new. Very, very impressed!! Staff is awesome too! :-)
We joined the Nautical Boat Club just over a year ago. It was absolutely the best decision ever! There’s no more trailering, fixing, cleaning, summerizing or winterizing boats. No more spider webs!! We literally show up to the dock with our cooler, check for the requested water toys and minutes later were motoring out of the marina. Once the kids are worn out from wake boarding, wake surfing, tubing and knee boarding (or parents are worn out) we simply pull up to the gas dock and unload the cooler. They pump the gas, you pay for it. Youre done! Its that simple!!!When I talk to my friends with boats or other potential members about boating; I tell them I have 19 boats! The looks I get are pretty funny. I’ll explain how the club works and how for the price of a monthly boat slip they get access to 19 turnkey boats with phenomenal customer service. The boats arent nasty, beat up rental boats. They are all new wake boats, tri-toons and bow riders. Everyone at the club and the marina is awesome and there to make sure you have a blast!!If you LIKE the lake, Youll LOVE the club!
Very impressed with Nautical Boat Club on Lake Lewisville. The boats are state of the art and brand new! Jonathan and Ryan are great! It is like a country club on the lake!The best part is spending time with the family! It is hard to get the entire family in one place (without cell phones)! Once we put everyone on the boat, it is ALL family ALL day!Thanks Jonathan and Ryan! See you this afternoon!
What a great decision! As we head out for the first time, after having our boat loaded by the NBC crew, my 19 year old son stated, I feel super rich right now!Thank you - W Camp
Great service, boats in excellent condition. Lots of fun with the family!
Dallas Nautical Boat Club is the complete package. The boats are spectacular! They are essentially brand new, always clean and meticulously maintained. If that isnt reason enough to join, everything you can imagine is included (tubing, waterskiing, wakeboarding...)! Making a reservation is a breeze. Most importantly, Jonathan and Ryan are very professional, accommodating and friendly. I have been out on the lake five times on three different boats and can confirm that Dallas Nautical Boat Club will be the best investment youll make in a while!
Living near the shore of Lewisville Lake I always thought I was missing out by not buying a boat and taking advantage of the water. When my 8 year old grandson said one day that he wished I would buy a boat, that just about settled it. But then all the negative points of owning a boat started to take hold- purchase price, maintenance, towing, lines at the boat launch or cost of a slip and a whole host of other considerations.I saw some information on Nautical Boat Club and decided to look into it. At first the cost seemed too much, but as I learned more and more about boat ownership, the club idea grew.I have been a member for about six months and believe it was the best decision I could have made. The boats ( as many as 14 to choose from) are first class and the people running the club are great to deal with. So far our whole family has enjoyed the experience and we are all really looking forward to our first full summer in the club.
We were debating about purchasing a boat and this club made the decision for us. So much more convenient and so much less expensive. We love all the choices of boats, and the marina, dock and Nauticals customer service are top notch. We looked at a different boat club on Lake Lewisville but it was more restrictive and more expensive - with older boats! Being able to use the other locations when we travel is another bonus we hope to use soon. Enjoying every minute of our membership.
We always had a boat growing up and spent our summers on the lake and river. I have always wanted a boat but not the ongoing cost, head ache, and inconvenience. I have friends in other cities that are members of a boat club. Ive waited for years for DFW to get one. As soon as I learned about Nautical, we immediately joined. We have not been disappointed. We have thoroughly enjoyed our frequent outings. Jonathan and his staff do an amazing job maintaining the boats and assisting us. We have had amazing family time with our kids on the lake. This has been the best entertainment investment our family has ever made.
Love this club, they are so professional and accommodating with beautiful boats
We joined the club 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it! I was going to write a review after I gained more experience with the club, but I couldnt wait to tell everyone how great this place is! It is by far the best money spent to enjoy quality, local family time -- away from gadgets and distractions. Jonathan, Ryan, & crew ALWAYS treat us like royalty.I joked that they should change the name to Princess Boat Club. Their customer service exceeds our expectations every single time. (FYI - We are 4 & 5-star vacationing-types with high expectations, and as my husband says, Im high maintenance, although I have no idea what he means about that. ;-) So if I think these guys are great, they are great! :-)The boats are excellent quality/brands, and we are extremely satisfied with them. The boats and equipment (water toys, life vests, etc.) are always in top shape/condition. My favorite part is NO MAINTENANCE. The crew loads all the water toys, vests, etc. on the boat. All you do is drive-up, hop-in, play, drop-off, go home. They even load your ice chest. Club rules! Easy. Fast. Convenient.We were hesitant to join because of concerns regarding: (1) availability of boats, (2) value of membership, and (3) rising cost of gas. So far, availability & value are non-factors. (1) Availability -- We get our 1st choice of boat every time we go out. The club will add boats as membership increases as does their sister company Volente Boat Club on Lake Travis. We have full faith and confidence in Jonathan and the business model. (2) Value -- Prying the iPad out of my sons hands = PRICELESS. (3) Gas price -- It is what it is. Nothing Jonathan can do about that!If youre thinking about joining the club, stop thinking, and do it already! You will love it. Please feel free to contact me if youd like more info. Cant wait to see you at the marina! BE SURE TO TELL JONATHAN THAT CHRISTINE SENT YOU! :-)
They make it so easy- just like my country club!
Ill pre-face this with that Im having to quit the club because Im moving out of state, otherwise Id still be a member!With that being said this is going to be one of the things Im going to miss the most about living here. Being able to choose which boat for the days activity is really awesome. During the week wed take a wakeboard boat out to wakeboard and then on the weekends wed either take a pontoon or a bowrider in order to simply relax and hang with friends. Jonathan and Ryan are running a top notch club.If/when I move back to the area Ill most definitely be re-joining.
