Legacy Boating Club Member Testimonials


"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


…the experience was first class. I didn't feel as if I were in Destin at all, it was like being in Disney. I walked away from the class with a refreshing feeling that though few and far between there are a few companies striving for excellence and getting there…I will be a member for life at Legacy.- Tim Creehan - President, Beach Walk Cafe


"The personable and impeccable service and knowledge of the Legacy Boating Club staff is to be commended. After being boat-owners for many years, one wonders why this idea wasn't conceived earlier, as it is certainly more fun to have access to a fleet of pleasure boats...minus the maintenance! Hop on and hop off to good times!! Keep up the good work." - Mary Rose and Reds Hidalgo and Three Very Happy Mates


"We have owned boats for over 25 years! The club is fantastic. We have never enjoyed boating as much. Not only do we get a variety of boats to use, no storage dues, no maintenance and repairs to worry about but the people at Legacy are the cream of the crop! We highly recommend the club to the experienced boater and to the person thinking of buying a boat." - Susan and Howard Shapiro


"We have found the Legacy Boating Club to be a valuable opportunity for beginner boaters, such as ourselves. Prior to joining the club, we had never driven a boat. The staff has taught us so much, not just through the classes, but on a continuing basis. Each time we take a boat out, we learn something new. Without the support of the club, we wouldn't be boating at all. For that, and so much more, we feel very lucky to be a part of the Legacy Boating Club." - Bryan and Christina Durta


"Our family has truly enjoyed the flexibility of Legacy Boating Club. We have 3 teenage boys and 2 teenage girls. The option of having several different boats to choose from makes our boating experience so much more enjoyable. Also, the staff has been a joy to work with It just doesn’t get any better in the boating world than boating with Legacy." - Mike and Mary Lise Parsons and Family


"I have thoroughly enjoyed legacy Boat Club. I sold my boat and have not had any regrets about it. The boats are great, the staff is excellent and the convenience is awesome. . All of the Fun with none of the Hassles. Legacy boating club is the only way to Go for Me!" - Dennis Lichorwic, DMD


The Legacy Boating Club removes all the hassles out of saltwater boating. Whether we are fishing in the gulf or bay, lounging on one of the many area beaches, enjoying an afternoon of fun at Crab Island, or just sightseeing with friends, Legacy always has the perfect boat to meet our particular needs. Our favorite aspect of the club has to be the ease of entry and exit at the marina. After a long day of fun on the water, the last thing we want to do is spend time washing down the boat. Now all we do is tie up at the docks and walk away with very large smiles on our faces. The Legacy Staff are knowledgeable boaters and anglers and have been attentive to our every need, making our time on the water that much more enjoyable. Master Captain Jeremy Holcomb has even kept us up-to-date on changing weather conditions while we are out on the water. As an added bonus, we have met other club members that we now call friends! We could not be more pleased with our decision to join the Legacy Boating Club." - Jay & Betty Coppic

"As long-time boaters, we were excited to learn of Legacy Boating Club. As members we enjoy all the pleasures of boat ownership without any of the hassles. To make one phone call and have the boat of your choice waiting for you at the dock is fantastic. And to deliver it at the end of fun day on the water is even better. Just dock it and you're done!

Plus, the highly competent staff truly knows the meaning of service. We are thrilled with our decision to join." - Dean Smith

That's how we have to describe our experience as members of the Legacy Boating Club. …ease of reservation, boat variety, training, combined with the friendly and dedicated service provided by all the Legacy management personnel from-manager Fletcher Shackelford, Master Captain Jeremy and all the boat handling personnel; our decision to join the Legacy Boating Club is one of the best decisions we've made since moving to Destin...as our Children and Grandchildren say "It's Awesome." - Brenda and Barry Lambert


"We have been elated at the opportunity to join the Legacy Boat Club. As new comers to NW Florida, we were interested in boating and the Club has been just the way to enjoy boating … With the Club, we have several boats to choose from, training to allow us to know how to use the boats safely, and after an afternoon on the water, Boat Club staff waiting at the dock to clean the boat and put it away. We almost feel guilty walking away without helping with the clean-up chores. We're glad we joined the Club!" - Thomas and Shari Evans


"I have to say that so far, the Legacy Boating Club has exceeded all of my expectations!

I've taken the first three training levels as well as the "land" course and have found the instruction to be particularly helpful and very professional. Jeremy is a terrific guy and has a great teaching manner.


In fact, all of the people I've worked with at the Club have been courteous, professional and very accommodating. I took my first real "solo" on Sunday and found the boat at the dock, cleaned and ready to go on time and as promised. Two staff members were awaiting our arrival and helped us dock and tie up the boat. An all around great day for me and my guests." - Kent Lillie


"No more sitting around at AJ's watching others enjoy the pleasures of cruising around or spending a day fishing.
