A reservation will save you time during the actual vacation, and you will have the comfort of knowing it is already ready for you once you arrive. There are plenty of options in Sarasota to get a boat that fits whatever needs you may have. You could even rent boats at a good price that would be very expensive to buy. There are boat clubs that you could join that will offer you many boat choices, first-class service and special events.
Things to Do
The activities that you can do when you rent a boat are plentiful. If you want a fast boat that you can zoom around in and enjoy the speed, there are boats that can achieve that. You could use your boat for water sports like tubing, wakeboarding and waterskiing. Fishing is among the popular activities that you can do from a boat, and boats are available to take to whatever location you think you can catch fish. Of course, you can just choose to relax on the boat and enjoy the sun.
Sarasota
The city of Sarasota, Florida is a beautiful area with plenty of things to do. Sarasota is a very popular summer vacation spot because of the warm temperatures, activities and sport fishing.

Types of Boats
With Sarasota boat rentals, there is a large selection of boats that you can try that fits every need. There are larger size boats that will fit the whole family and friends.

You will have no problem finding the right boat for what you want to do and it will be clean and prepared for you.
A great summer vacation is one that everybody will remember for years to come. Sarasota boat rentals can help to make those memories both enjoyable and lasting.

Boating in Florida with Wave's Boat and Social Club
 Florida is a beautiful state, rich in scenery, historical value and home to the nation's #1 beach, Siesta Key. Most notable for it's sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and plenty of coastline to explore, Florida (especially Sarasota) could be called a "boater's paradise."
For most boating enthusiasts, enjoying the water requires a boat, basic navigation and marine skills and a zest for a little adventure! However, what if you don't own a boat? How can you still enjoy all that Sarasota has to offer without breaking the bank?
Well, the answer is actually quite simple: Join a Sarasota boat club!
What Is A Boating Club?
A boating club is simply an organization that boat lovers can join where, for a annual fee, they are granted access to use and enjoy different boats, community events and social gatherings in a community centered environment. Essentially, a boating club is exactly like owning your own boat, but without all of the headaches!
What Are the Benefits of Joining a Boat Club?

How To Choose the Right Boat Club
Making the decision to join a boat club can be exciting, but also overwhelming. With so many different options for different boat clubs, deciding on the best one for you can be quite daunting. However, it doesn't have to be.
When choosing the right boat club in Sarasota, Florida ask yourself these questions:
- What are the annual fees and how do they compare to other boating club fees?
- How many locations does the boat club serve?
- Is there a sense of community in the club?
- How do the staff and other members treat you?
- Do you have to pay any hidden fees? (ie. no-show fees, advanced booking fees, etc.)
- How far in advance can you reserve a boat? Is it guaranteed?
- How many members per boat does the club have?
- What is the maintenance schedule like?
- How often will you be using your membership?
- What are the policies and requirements you must follow to become a member?
- How often can you use the boats?
- Are the boats maintained and serviced regularly?
Ask your potential boating staff these questions and listen to their answers. It's very important to consider the benefits vs. the features of the boat club you join, making sure that you are getting the biggest bang for your buck.
Becoming a member of any boating club is a wonderful experience, but make sure you take the time to make the right choice. Check out Wave's Boat and Social Club to learn more about our membership benefits and the abundant opportunities to become part of an excellent community!

What a great weekend we had on the water on Father's Day. Between the great weather, nice running boat and smooth intra-coastal waterways; boating was optimal. We took out one of the big deck boats from the Waves Boat Club South Sarasota location this past Sunday with some members, friends & family and heading south to Venice. We had lunch at Marker 4 which was very good. They have good seafood, sandwiches, sweet potato fries and reasonably priced drinks; which all makes for a great lunch destination. Afterwards, we went to snake island for some swimming and shelling. When we got back to the dock we just got off, handed the keys to the dock master and heading home for a nap. A day like that on the water makes you appreciate how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place and be members of a Waves. Waves member # 1001.
