How Boat Sharing Works in the Hamptons

Boat sharing in the Hamptons is becoming one of the most popular ways to enjoy life on the water without the responsibilities of boat ownership. Instead of purchasing, maintaining, storing, and servicing your own boat, a boat club membership gives you access to a premium fleet of professionally maintained boats for a yearly membership fee.

At Strong’s Marine, members enjoy boating throughout Southampton, Shinnecock Bay, Sag Harbor, and surrounding Hamptons waterways while experiencing a hassle free boating lifestyle designed around convenience, flexibility, and premium experiences on the water.

Since 1945, Strong’s Marine has helped generations of Long Island families enjoy boating across the East End. Today, Strong’s Boat Club continues that tradition by offering one of the premier boat sharing memberships on Long Island.

What Is Boat Sharing?

Boat sharing allows members to enjoy boating without owning a boat. Instead of managing dockage, maintenance, winterization, insurance, repairs, and cleaning, members gain access to a fleet of premium boats ready for use throughout the boating season.

Strong’s Marine Boat Club offers members access to current model boats from leading brands including:

• Regal Boats
• Cobalt Boats
• Pursuit Boats
• Grady White Boats

The fleet includes premium boats ranging from approximately 21 to 26 feet, equipped for cruising, tubing, fishing, watersports, and family boating throughout the Hamptons and Long Island waters.

How Hamptons Boat Share Memberships Work

Step 1: Join the Membership

Strong’s Marine offers flexible boat share membership options designed for boaters who want access to premium boating without long term ownership responsibilities. Members can choose boating access from locations including Mattituck and Southampton. 

Memberships are intentionally limited to maintain an optimal member to boat ratio, helping provide better reservation availability and a more enjoyable boating experience.

Step 2: Reserve Your Boat

Members can reserve boats using a convenient mobile reservation system or by contacting a dedicated reservationist. Strong’s Boat Club offers flexible scheduling with half day, full day, weekday, weekend, and spur of the moment boating opportunities based on availability.

Many members enjoy the flexibility of spontaneous boating throughout the Hamptons during the summer season.

Step 3: Arrive and Enjoy

When members arrive at the marina, the boat is fully prepared, cleaned, fueled, and ready to go. Boats are equipped with required U.S. Coast Guard safety equipment, VHF marine radios, anchors, ladders, and bimini tops for comfort and convenience on the water.

Strong’s Marine also includes captain lessons with membership, helping newer boaters build confidence and experience before heading out independently.

Step 4: Return the Boat

After your day on the water, simply return the boat to the dock and our team handles the cleaning, maintenance, and upkeep. Members only pay for the fuel used during their trip.

There is no need to worry about washing the boat, servicing the engine, scheduling repairs, winterization, or seasonal storage.

Why Hamptons Boaters Are Choosing Boat Sharing

Hamptons boat share memberships give members access to premium boats without the long term expenses and responsibilities of ownership. Instead of managing maintenance, dockage, insurance, and storage, members can simply reserve a boat and enjoy the water whenever they want to boat. 

No Dockage or Marina Hassles

Dockage throughout the Hamptons can be expensive and difficult to secure during peak boating season. Boat sharing eliminates the need for seasonal slip fees, marina management, and dock maintenance.

No Maintenance or Winterization

Owning a boat often means managing maintenance schedules, repairs, engine service, winterization, cleaning, and storage. Strong’s Marine handles all maintenance and upkeep so members can simply focus on enjoying the boating lifestyle.

More Flexibility on the Water

Boat sharing gives members access to different types of boats for different experiences throughout the season. Whether you want to spend the day fishing offshore, cruising with family, or exploring waterfront destinations, members can choose the right boat for the occasion.

More Time Enjoying the Hamptons

Many Long Island boaters are discovering that boat sharing allows them to spend more time on the water and less time managing the responsibilities that come with ownership.
