About Your Boat Club:

At Your Boat Club, we are committed to providing the finest boating experiences that are both safe and enjoyable without any hassle. Our journey began in 2009 with only five boats, and today we operate over 30 locations across four states. Our services include memberships, daily rentals, full marina services, and, at some locations, bike, UTV, and snowmobile rentals. Our main objective is to keep our existing members happy by providing them with exceptional service, superb boats, and great availability. Annually, we hire seasonal help at various locations and seek to hire individuals who we believe will be “A” type employees: always friendly, professional, adaptable, and possess great customer service skills.
