B ridge Marina's boating club is unique, as there are few marinas offering this type of club member- ship in the United States. Members of the boating club can forgo all the commitments of boat own- ership and allow the team at Bridge Marina to take care of everything from cleaning and docking to insuring and repairing their fleet boats. With something for everyone, the boating club offers six tiers of membership ranging from a trial level to an exclusive diamond membership that allows boaters unlimited access to boating throughout the season. Because Bridge Marina prides themselves on their high level of customer service, every level of their boating club mem- bership includes in-depth, personalized training, unlimited use of recreational gear, safety gear, tubes, floats, and access to a pristine fleet of Starcra and Four Winns boats. Fernandez attributes much of the success of Bridge Marina to the high-quality fleet of boats provided for boating club members and daily renters alike. A barrier that keeps many boaters from getting out on the water as much as they would like is the quality of boat rentals: "We're changing the percep- tion of what a boat rental looks like, and what guests should expect from a boat rental experience. We only offer beautiful, well-maintained, newer boats in both of our rental and Boat- ing Club fleets, and our guests really value and appreciate the experience," Fernandez says. Now, Bridge Marina's Lake Hopatcong facility is running at full capacity, and as a result, Fernandez felt the time was right to open a second location and bring the boating club concept and boat rentals to anoth- er waterfront town. is past Memorial Day weekend, Bridge Marina made their debut in the burgeoning New Jersey shore town of Highlands, with a so opening featuring their boating club and service-oriented boat rentals. Bridge's first shore location will run from the inside of Baker's Marina on the Bay, a full- service marina just a few minutes outside of Sandy Hook. At this recently-opened Jersey Shore location, customers can expect the same high-quality boat rentals and customer service the flagship marina provides, as well as full access to all tiers of the boating club. With the help of Bridge Marina's team of experts and their convenient boating club concept, everyone can spend some time out on the water this summer, and the club may be coming to waters by you very soon. A true family experience.
