with boating except the actual fuel you use.

How do I know there will be boats available?
Legacy has sent out over 7900 launches. Over the years availability
has consistently been outstanding with 99.2% availability and 90.4%
of our launches on the Member’s 1st choice with 24 hours advance
notice. Reservations can be made from spur-of-the-moment 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
is a dealer for the boat brands we use - we always have the ability
to quickly add boats to our $2.5 million fleet.
