8-PAK MEMBERSHIP vs. UNLIMITED PLANS
Unlimited membership plans allow you to enjoy boating as many times as you would like, with no restrictions placed on your total number of outings.
The 8-PAK Membership plans limit the number of total outings that you can have during your annual membership to 4 weekend outings and 4 weekday outings. If you use all of your reservations and would like to continue to boat, we make upgrading your membership simple! Just select the Annual Unlimited Plan you would like to upgrade to and pay the difference in price either in full or monthly over the remainder of your membership.
Our unlimited membership options allow for differing numbers of outstanding reservations to be booked in the reservations system at one time. For example, if you have the Annual Unlimited Premier 3 membership, you can have one weekend and two weekday reservation scheduled at a time. As soon as you use (or cancel) one of those reservations, you can book a new reservation as soon as you check back in at the dock. We call these "rolling reservations," and it allows members to have ultimate flexibility and to boat as often as they would like.
