New Portland base for British Boat Club
Members-only boat club, the British Boat Club, is officially opening its new Portland base at an open day on Friday 25th June.
The new base, located in Dorset’s Portland Marina, will feature two of British Boat Club’s ‘gone fishing’ fleet of boats.
For a fixed monthly fee, members have access to a fleet of boats across numerous South Coast marinas. The company says this offers the benefits of zero maintenance expenses, breakdown costs, or marina fees and offers complete flexibility for members to use the boats at their own pace, just like owning a boat.
“Our new Portland base will enable British Boat Club’s members to explore the Jurassic Coast’s waters, which includes impressive fishing areas,” says Nikki Walker, co-founder and owner of the club. “This new base complements our existing bases which encompass Lymington, Hamble, Southampton and Hayling Island.
“British Boat Club’s open day will provide prospective boaters with an insight into how they can get on the water more often and for a fraction of the usual costs associated with boat purchase, and with greater flexibility.”
A fully turn-key service, British Boat Club’s members can book up to two days at a time on any of the boats, allowing them to travel to unlimited destinations. Upon return, members can immediately re-book their next trip on the British Boat Club APP. And, says the British Boat Club, its easybook system allows members unlimited last-minute bookings.
