We come here almost weekly to go boating. They have an excellent location, making it easy to play in Broad Bay, venture out to the Chesapeake Bay, the ocean front, or down to waterside. The staff is very friendly and helpful, too. Carefree is the best way to enjoy boating without the expense and hassle of boat ownership.

Being able to share moments with friends and family on a variety of boats is just one reason why I would recommend the club.

I contacted these people last week they said they would have some woman call me and she never did. We go out there to see them today and we like what we hear.They said they would have the same woman call my boyfriend and she never did. So how would you feel about this place?

New members of the boat club and our training experience was wonderful. Rob and Ross really make you feel comfortable taking the bat out and learning how to dock correctly. Everyone we’ve met has been so kind. Can’t wait to get out on the boat’s again.

Been to multiple Carefree locations and this one is by far my favorite. Dock is organized and the staff is friendly. Boats are always in top shape which makes my wife very happy. We highly recommend joining this club.

Boating with care free is an amazing experience and I can’t recommenced it enough! Being able to take out a boat without the burden of owning makes going out on the water a pleasurable experience. The staff is personable and truly cater to the needs of every customer. I highly recommended joining!

We are delighted with Care Free Boat Club. Not only did Karen explain everything thoroughly during the introduction and buying process, all of the employees made us feel welcome and like family. The boats and the marina are in excellent condition! The lesson was informative and concise. We are thrilled to be members and cant wait to get out on the water! Thank you Care Free Boat Club!

We’ve been members now for 4 years and love the convenience of just making reservations and picking up/dropping off the boat. For our family the boat club works great. They have a good selection of different kinds of boats and offer training to learn how to drive the boats. The staff is supportive and attentive to fixing problems and they have upgraded the boats over the past couple years. I highly recommend the boat club!

My wife and I were unsure about joining a club over buying a boat... And I could not be happier to be a new member of Carefree! The training is tailored individually to our family for more a experienced boater, as well as members of our family new to handling a boat. Karen is easy to work with in the front office. And Billy, Chris, Kevin, and Elizabeth do a phenomenal job on the dock!

Joined the club with close friends nearly 5 years ago. It’s made our time in VA enjoyable and we’ve seen a different side of the area that I didn’t even know existed. When friends and family come into town, they look forward to the boats and the variety we have to choose from on the outings. Highly recommend this to anyone!

We love carefree boat club and would recommend it to all our friends! So many different boat options to chose from and friendly knowledgeable staff. We couldn’t be happier. Our kids and dog love going out on the boat during the summer and bringing our friends for relaxation time!

From the sales staff to the dock staff, everyone has been so knowledgeable and professional. Our experience joining the club has been wonderful. Our first outing went so smoothly thanks to Chris and his staff. They made us feel right at home on the water. I am very glad we joined. Thank you CBC!

Carefree boat club is literally CAREFREE. Their name speaks for itself. The staff is more than helpful, always willing to go out of their way for members. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, from making reservations, variety of boats, staff members, and overall expectations. Carefree Boat Club has provided the best experience for my friends and family!SALTLIFE757

Every bit of my experience with Carefree has been 5-stars. The inside team has been great, usually returning calls and emails same day. They schedule learning events, like where and how to fish the Bay, which have allowed me to get more out of my membership.The dock staff makes you feel like a VIP every time you visit. They help you with your equipment to and from the boat and parking lot. One thing I really like, they dont rush through the pre-trip checklist. They make sure you know where all of the safety equipment and paperwork are located, and answer any questions you have about the boats operation. Finally, they always know about boating conditions on the Chesapeake Bay. Sounds insignificant with all the forecasts and apps out there, but its nice to hear from a person what to expect.I would recommend the club to anyone that wants to boat without ownership.

What a fantastic concept! Members pay monthly dues, and the club takes care of EVERYTHING else. With a variety of new to choose from, all well maintained and always available, I will never own another boat again with this club around! Thank you Carefree Boat Club !

I take my clients out regularly and every time is a pleasure! There is no hassle, the club is easy to deal with and the dock staff is super friendly and professional. They get to know what you need and before I ask, they are done and ready to go. I highly recommend Carefree Boat Club to everyone!!

Carefree Boat Club is so amazing. The concept is such a great idea and the staff is so nice. My family and I wanted to own a boat but found it to be too costly so becoming a member with Carefree Boat Club was right up my alley.When I called to ask for pricing, they asked me to come in and tour the club. I was hesitant for fear of getting suckered into a 4 hour timeshare style tour. I met with their membership director Karen and she was nothing but nice and the tour was short and very knowledgeable.Since I have signed up, we have boated countless times. They provided us the training needed/wanted for taking the boats out and they also showed us the waterways. We also attended a fishing seminar which my husband just loved and now he fishes frequently.Also, we vacation frequently in Florida during the summer and weve gotten to boat at several of their Florida locations who are also just as great! I would recommend this club to anyone interested in getting a boat but not wanting the hassle of maintaining it.

Carefree is the only way to own a boat - no worries and hassle free. Make a reservation, enjoy the day out in the boat, return it (with a full tank) and they take care of the rest!

I researched a few different boat clubs before I made a choice but with care free they had a great selection of boats where the others only had maybe 2-3 boats. Thx

I have been a member for 6 years. Having a membership is one of the best decisions I have made. Year round boat use; tubing and dolphin watching in the summer, seals and whales in the winter. The staff is great. They are very friendly and always accommodating. Great club!

We joined the Club last summer and it was one of the best decisions we made. We have 4 kids ranging from 6-13 years old. I took the kids and their friends out 10-20 times over summer and it was a blast every single time. It was great that we had the choice between deck boats, cruisers, and fishing boats. We were always able to go out when we wanted and we never had to worry about the maintenance. The staff has also been professional and they are always trying to do what they can to make each trip special. The best part is we feel like we own a fleet of boats at a yearly cost that is less than what we would pay for a single out-of-town vacation. Hands down, one of the best family decisions we have ever made!!!

We moved from Colorado to here. After a while, we decided wed look into buying a boat. Not only were boats expensive, the upkeep was overwhelming!!!Then we found Carefree Boat Club. It has been life changing, truly! Weve gone from land lubbers to experienced power boaters and now into sailing. All on Carefree boats!!! We started with 18-21 outboard boats, grew into cabin cruisers and now were sailing yachts. We almost always get a boat when we want it and the boat we want, too. (Sorry for the whiners here!)Then theres all the FREE training! Start with the Coast Guard Safety Course and training on every type of boat you want. Sailboat training, even! Theres even fishing training.Did I mention we have some wonderful parties and events?BTW, this Carefree location and the Hampton one are the same club. You can check out boats at either place. (The sailboats are in Hampton,) You can also (with staff help) go to other Carefree locations and check out their boats. Weve taken a power boat out of Williamsburg!ALSO, VB and Hampton are open ALL year! (Locations north of us close in the fall.) Spring and fall boating are wondrous and NO TOURISTS! There have been days when were the only boat on the water as far as you can see... Weve boated EVERY month of the year.My wife and I have been members of Carefree Boat for many years now. Its one of the best things we ever did. :-)

Horrible. Dock staff is rude, unwilling to help, what a scam. Damages are done to boats and not documented properly. Everyone tries to nickle and dime you for unreasonable things.
