Best boat club software in 2026: six tools compared

Every member of a boat club wants a fair turn on the boats. A spreadsheet shows who booked what, but it won’t stop someone from grabbing every Saturday in July, or chase the member whose card bounced. Boat club software does.

Six tools book a shared fleet. We make one of them, Let’s Book, so for the other five we stuck to what each company says on its own website (read on 28 October 2026), with a link.

Four questions to ask any boat club software

1. Do the rules keep it fair? A club needs booking rules that check themselves: how far ahead a member may book, how long a trip may last, how many weekends a member may hold at once, and which boats each membership includes. Without those rules, someone on staff checks the calendar every morning.
2. Who collects the dues? Some tools bill members themselves, with automatic payments and a retry when a card fails. Others leave the dues to your bank or a subscription service and only handle the bookings. Both work, but one means one system and the other means two.
3. Can paying guests use the same boats? Many clubs rent their boats to the public on a quiet Tuesday. That only works when members and guests book from one calendar, so a guest can never take a boat a member already has.
4. What happens at the dock? Either someone hands over the keys, or the member starts the boat from their phone when the booking begins.

Each tool below gets the same lines, so you can compare them down the page: price, rules, dues, guests, the dock, and what to know before you call.

The six tools that book a shared fleet

Let’s Book

That’s us: booking software for boat rentals, tours, charters and boat clubs, made in Amsterdam by people who have rented out boats since 2006. It works for a club on its own, and for a club that also rents its boats to the public (boat club software).

• Price: for a club we agree a price with you, so there’s no club figure on the site. If your club also rents boats to the public, you can pick Standard or Pro on the pricing page. Both include every feature.
• Rules: detailed. A booking link only members can use, which docks and boats each membership opens, how far ahead and how long, how many bookings a member may hold, limits per month and per year, and a cap on the number of Saturdays. Staff can override the rules when needed.
• Dues: not collected in Let’s Book. They run through your own bank or subscription service. Members can book without paying upfront and get a payment link later (memberships).
• Guests: yes, on the same calendar, with their own prices. You can ask guests for a deposit and a waiver, and let members skip both.
• At the dock: members start the boat from their phone for the length of their booking, through Sentinel Marine or Qondor (keyless rental).
• Know before you call: there’s no member app of our own (members book on your website and log in to their account), no dues billing, and no management of slips or dry storage.

SpeedyDock

US software for boat rentals, boat clubs and dry stack marinas, where boats are stored on racks ashore and lowered into the water when needed. Over 500 marina and storage operators in the US use it (SpeedyDock).

• Price: not published for the club product.
• Rules: detailed. Limits per month, memberships for weekdays only or weekends only, a maximum number of weekend and holiday trips, and a set number of bookings per term (boat club).
• Dues: yes. Monthly or yearly automatic payments, retries when a payment fails, prorated fees, and sign-up and seasonal fees.
• Guests: yes. Members and renters share one calendar, with a waiting list for non-members.
• At the dock: not described.
• Know before you call: aimed at the US, and you’ll need a demo to learn the price.

BookingCentral

Rental software from Florida that runs a club next to regular rentals, with a separate portal for members (boat rentals).

• Price: no monthly fee and every feature included. Instead it takes a share of each booking (the percentage isn’t published), charges an onboarding fee agreed on a call, and may ask for a yearly minimum (pricing).
• Rules: yes. Membership levels with different access, booking windows, limits such as hours per month or days per week, and limits by time of day and season (club memberships).
• Dues: billing isn’t described.
• Guests: yes. Members and renters see the same live availability.
• At the dock: not described.
• Know before you call: it serves the US and parts of Canada, in US dollars.

Storable Marine

Marina software, formerly called Molo, for marinas, boatyards, boat clubs and rental fleets. It has a separate product for rentals and clubs (Storable Marine).

• Price: not published. You’ll need a demo.
• Rules: online booking around the clock, live availability and a waiting list. Limits per member, booking windows or weekend caps aren’t described (boat club and rental software).
• Dues: renewals and automatic invoices (customer management).
• Guests: it mentions mixing rentals and memberships on one fleet, without details.
• At the dock: not described.
• Know before you call: its strength is the marina around the club, with slips, maintenance and billing in one system.

BoatCloud ClubHub

Club software from Anderson Software in the US, for dry stack marinas and boat clubs (BoatCloud).

• Price: not published. There’s a 60-day money-back guarantee.
• Rules: yes. Plans and periods decide which member may use which boat, on which days and at which times, and seasons can be split (ClubHub).
• Dues: it connects to QuickBooks. Billing itself isn’t described.
• Guests: not described.
• At the dock: not described.
• Know before you call: members book in an app for iPhone and Android, or on a computer.

MOXSEA

Built in Sweden and Mallorca by a former club operator, for boat clubs and fractional yacht clubs, where members share ownership of a yacht and split its time. The club gets an app under its own name and logo (MOXSEA).

• Price: not published. A calculator on the site gives a yearly estimate (pricing).
• Rules: yes. Weekday or seasonal access that knows the public holidays, a reward for booking outside peak times, and a waiting list (key features).
• Dues: collected automatically, plus prepaid fuel accounts that read the fuel level from sensors on the boat.
• Guests: not described.
• At the dock: not described.
• Know before you call: members book, change and cancel in the app or by chat. Booking on a website isn’t described.

Three tools that don’t book boats

Search for club software and you’ll also find Clubspot, Wild Apricot and VeryConnect. None of them books a shared boat. Clubspot runs dues, regattas and club operations, with no setup fee and a price that rises with use. Wild Apricot is membership software for any kind of club, from $66 a month for 100 contacts. VeryConnect has a page for boat clubs, but covers memberships, event tickets and fees.

For a sailing or yacht club where members bring their own boats, that’s enough. A club with a shared fleet needs one of the six tools above, possibly with one of these next to it.

Which tool suits which club

• You want dues and bookings in one system: SpeedyDock or MOXSEA. With Let’s Book, the dues run through your bank or subscription service and everything else runs in Let’s Book.
• You also rent your boats to the public: Let’s Book, SpeedyDock or BookingCentral. Members and renters share one calendar, so a boat earns money on a quiet weekday too.
• Your club sits in a marina with slips or dry stack: SpeedyDock, Storable Marine or BoatCloud. Let’s Book doesn’t manage slips.
• You want an app under your own brand: MOXSEA.
• Your members should start the boat themselves: of these six, only Let’s Book publishes this.
• You’re a sailing or yacht club and members own their boats: Clubspot or Wild Apricot, for dues and events.

Where Let’s Book fits, and where it doesn’t

Our boat club software fits a club that shares boats and wants the rules to do the checking: a cap on Saturdays, a booking window per membership, the big boat for the top tier only. It fits even better when the same boats also go out to renters or on tours, because everything sits in one planning.

It doesn’t collect dues, has no member app of its own and doesn’t manage slips. If you want dues and bookings in one system, SpeedyDock or MOXSEA may suit you better, and we’d rather tell you that than sign you up.

Frequently asked questions about boat club software

What does boat club software cost?

None of the six publishes a club price. BookingCentral takes a share of each booking instead of a monthly fee, and Let’s Book agrees a club price with you. Ask every vendor the same three things: the monthly fee, the share of each booking, and the setup fee.

Can boat club software collect membership dues?

SpeedyDock and MOXSEA can, with automatic payments. Let’s Book can’t: dues go through your own bank or subscription service, and Let’s Book handles memberships, rules and payments for trips.

Can members and renters share the same boats?

Yes, in Let’s Book, SpeedyDock and BookingCentral. Everyone books from one calendar, so a boat is never sold twice. In Let’s Book, members can have their own prices, and you can let them skip the deposit and waiver you ask of guests.

Do my members need an app?

Not necessarily. In Let’s Book, members book on your own website and log in to see their trips. SpeedyDock, BoatCloud and MOXSEA offer an app. With keyless rental in Let’s Book, members also start the boat from their phone.
