12-PAK MEMBERSHIP vs. UNLIMITED PLANS
We regularly get questions about how our Annual 12-PAK Membership plans compare to the other Annual Unlimited Membership plans. Unlike the Annual Unlimited Plans, the 12-PAK Membership plans limit the number of total outings that you can have during your annual membership to 4 weekend outings and 8 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 annual unlimited plans differ from each other in the sense that the number of outstanding reservations that you can have scheduled at a given time is based upon the plan. If you have the Annual Unlimited Premier 2 membership, for example, you can have one weekend and one 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 boat as often as they would like.
