The Marine Club at Beaumaris

As a member of The Marine Club you can enjoy access to the freedom of the seas for a fraction of the price of ownership. Take the helm of a range of sports and recreational boats at a growing network of locations.

Members pay an annual fee and can then purchase points to be redeemed against time on the water at any Marine Club location. Membership offers a number of benefits over ownership, with no capital investment; no refuelling hassle; and no maintenance, launch or recovery fees.

The Marine Club at Beaumaris is operated in partnership with ABC Powermarine and offers a significant support infrastructure to make your time on the water safe and fun.

Annual membership for 2010 is only £299

Once you are a member, you can purchase points which may be redeemed for use of a choice of boats. Fuel used will be supplied at local pump price and paid for at the end of the day. All members need to hold a Level 2 Powerboat Certificate and participate in a one-off introduction day.

Just arrive and drive: hassle-free boating at its best.
