No. A key facet of any shared use scheme is the ability to get boat at times that suit you – thus we carefully manage supply and demand to ensure good availability for all. Our seasonal booking calendar is an important tool in achieving this. Annual fleet membership points are allocated equally across three seasons (4 month blocks: High = May-August, Mid = Mar-Apr & Sep-Oct and Low = Nov-Feb) and they need to be used in the season to which they are allocated.

When you first join, we want to get you on the water as quickly as possible and provide a free midweek day of access to boats and an instructor, for the purposes of induction and competence assessment.

If you have relevant skippering skills and experience, we'll schedule the day to cover our club processes, berth location characteristics and help you get into the detail of the boat systems, before checking your competence on the boats you initially want to start using. If you need to undertake some training before you start skippering, we simply schedule the club induction and assessment day to run following completion of the training.

When you are ready to expand your range of boats, you can self induct or we’ll conduct an assessment/ provide further training as appropriate. Rest assured, we will always streamline your journey through our competence process to fit your previous experience.
