| Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legacy Boating Club all about?
Legacy is about unlimited outings 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 and a tip for the dock staff.
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 and “Best Customer Service”.

How do I know there will be boats available?
Legacy has sent out over 12,500 launches. Over the years, availability has consistently been outstanding with 97.2% availability and 90.2% 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 million fleet.
