Why Rhode Island Boaters Are Ditching the Big Clubs for Local Perks
When it comes to spending time on the water in Rhode Island, flexibility, local knowledge, and affordability matter more than access to hundreds of boats in distant states.
That’s why more and more boaters are choosing the Captain’s Club at Wickford Boat Rentals instead of joining large, expensive national clubs.
At first glance, the big clubs seem like a great idea, with nationwide locations and a fleet of boats.
But once you look closer, the commitment and costs can be eye-opening.
With initiation fees starting around $5,000 and monthly dues often north of $400, you’re paying premium prices even if you only boat locally a few times a month.
