5/5 Robyn S. 2 years ago on Google
We
spent
about
a
year
doing
research
into
the
cost
of
boating
here
in
Austin
and
had
to
make
a
decision
between
buying,
renting,
or
joining
a
boat
club.
Depending
on
your
needs,
any
of
the
three
options
could
work
best.
If
you’re
only
going
to
go
out
a
handful
times
in
the
summer,
then
renting
is
most
likely
your
best
bet.
If
you
want
to
trailer
your
boat
around,
use
it
wherever/whenever,
and
don’t
mind
the
maintenance
and
responsibility
that
goes
along
with
it,
buying
might
be
for
you.
Now
if
you’re
in
the
same
boat
(pun
intended)
as
us…
you
plan
to
use
the
boat
year
round,
don’t
mind
scheduling
your
days,
want
a
variety
of
boats
to
choose
from,
want
to
have
access
to
boats
across
the
US,
don’t
want
to
worry
about
things
breaking
down,
just
want
to
get
on
the
boat
and
enjoy
the
lake
and
not
have
any
responsibility
once
you’ve
pulled
back
into
the
slip..
the
boat
club
is
definitely
your
best
option.
Then
you
have
the
choice
between
4-5
clubs
in
the
Austin
area.
We
had
conversations
and
got
pricing
from
all
the
clubs
and
hands
down
Carefree
was
the
obvious
choice.
I
honestly
thought
it
was
too
good
to
be
true
after
seeing
the
cost
sheet.
They
have
the
lowest
boat
to
member
ratio,
the
cost
is
significantly
lower,
Troy
and
the
whole
staff
are
super
friendly
and
go
out
of
their
way
to
provide
the
best
experience
for
you
and
your
guests,
the
boats
are
super
clean
and
I’m
proud
to
take
people
out
on
them,
and
the
location
is
perfect!
It
was
the
only
club
that
made
financial
sense
to
us,
and
we
felt
even
better
after
meeting
Troy
and
the
staff.
I
can’t
say
if
they
would
be
a
good
fit
for
you,
but
I
can
definitely
say
that
we
are
so
happy
we
joined,
we’ve
been
taking
boats
out
1-2
times
a
week
and
it
still
blows
my
mind
how
epic
lake
Travis
really
is,
and
how
we
are
able
to
experience
it
with
a
relaxing
cruise
on
the
tritoons
or
ripping
around
in
the
surf/wakeboard
boat..
and
they
even
have
a
boat
that
allows
fishing
and
dogs!
I
was
hesitant
to
write
this
review
at
first
because
I
selfishly
didn’t
want
to
have
it
get
too
overcrowded,
but
the
nice
part
about
carefree
is
that
they
have
to
keep
their
member
to
boat
ratio
so
the
more
people
that
join,
the
more
brand
new
boats
we
get.
Anyways,
all
that
to
say
5
stars
with
no
reservations.
I’ll
update
this
review
if
anything
changes
in
the
future.
