| Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legacy Boating Club all about?
Legacy is about unlimited boating on the crystal clear waters
along the Emerald Coast while we handle insurance bills, storage, maintenance,
boat payments and cleaning.
Legacy is about value. Membership
covers all costs associated with boating except the actual fuel you use.
Legacy is about meeting new friends. We keep a busy schedule of social
events throughout the year so members can get to know each other and develop lasting
relationships.

How do
I know there will be boats available?
In 2006 alone we sent out over 3000
launches. Throughout the 2006 season availability was 99.4% with 91.8% of our
members going out on their first choice even on spur of the moment outings. Reservations
can be made up to six months in advance and you can have multiple reservations
on the calendar. Think of it like you do a tee time at the country club. Just
call us in advance when you’re ready to entertain family and guests and we
will have the boat detailed clean and waiting for you. We carefully monitor the
usage of each style of boat to make sure we have plenty of boats for our members.
Because Legacy has preferred purchasing contracts with the boat brands we use
- we always have the ability to quickly add boats to our $2.5 million fleet.

different boat styles before purchasing the style they like best.
