"Wow! The Legacy Boat Club has been one of the smartest investments that I have made. The staff is very friendly and professional. They pay close attention to details and want nothing more than for you to have a perfect outing. We have experienced nothing short of perfect. The boats are in exceptional shape with a great variety. The hands on training is wonderful, helpful, and allows you to feel comfortable if you are a first time boater. Not only is the staff wonderful, the members are great. The Club offers the opportunity to meet new friends with similar interests. Legacy Boat Club is nothing short of First Class! Highly recommended!" - Dustin Rogers

 


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.

Legacy is about quality. From premium boats, to catered lunches, to attentive dock service, to safety training, to social functions - every aspect of Legacy Boating Club is top quality. Our attention to detail and quality earned Legacy the prestigious Best of the Emerald Coast award from Emerald Coast Magazine for “Best Boating Experience” a category which includes all aspects of the boating industry.

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.

Reservations are made by calling the reservation line Tuesday - Sunday.

Can I apply my membership dues toward the purchase of a boat?
Yes. Up to 70% of your Initiation Fee can be applied toward a boat purchase from Legendary Marine. Many members join the club to try out
different boat styles before purchasing the style they like best.
::TOP::

What type of boats do you have in the club?
The Club owns and maintains a variety of powerboats up to 44'. The fleet is custom picked to include the perfect style of boat for every boating activity on the crystal clear waters of the Gulf Coast. The pleasure boat fleet includes yacht, cabin cruisers, big bowriders with heads, and sport boats for fun and recreation. In our fishing fleet we offer twin engine center consoles, single engine center consoles, and bay boats for fishing the flats. Our yacht class boats provide overnight fishing opportunities.

Do I need to own my own boat to join the club?
No, but if you own a boat with fewer than 50 hours, in pristine condition and if it is a match to our standard models, we will consider a trade-in for a Membership.
