We Threw Traditional Boating Club Models Overboard – For You
Old-school boating clubs come with too many rules, too much cost, and too much waiting. We wanted something smarter. Something built for modern life. Something with more freedom, more flexibility, more access, and more joy on the Bay.
So we created two concierge-style clubs for people who want to boat regularly—without owning a boat, without rigid schedules, and without needing anyone else’s permission to go out and play on the water.
Both clubs weave in our Applied Boating Mastery™ method so you naturally build confidence, calm, and skill each time you step aboard.
Two Club Options
Nautical Access Private Boating Club – For People Who Want to Boat Like Owners
Built for independent spirits who want private, turn-key days on the water with family and friends – your boat for the day, none of the ownership baggage. Perfect if you crave freedom, simplicity, and the feeling of having your own boat whenever you want it.

The Play Pass – For New, Returning, and Solo Boaters Who Want More Freedom and Flexibility Than Traditional Clubs.
Designed for water lovers whose friends or partners aren’t always into boating, and for anyone who wants flexible adventures, relaxed hands-on learning, and a community that truly wants to be out there.
Ideal if you want more play, less pressure, and regular time on the Bay without the cost or commitment of traditional clubs, the hassle of ownership, or the constant scramble to find crew.

Play is serious business for your body – it’s stress medicine and your biology knows it.
Our Sea Change Immersions blend movement, creativity, laughter, and nature’s capacity to reset our nervous systems and quiet the mind without the pressure, perfectionism, or performative “wellness work.” No devices. No doing it right.
Just you, the water, and the kind of fun your body has been starving for – a reset for you mind and body without effort.
Our Sea Change Immersions give you the reset you’ve been trying to meditate, talk, walk, journal, and jog your way into.
Being on the water combines multiple forms of stress relief in one experience — movement, nature, novelty, play, breath, sunlight, and the calming neurobiology of “blue spaces.” It’s the fastest way to shift your body out of stress mode and bring your whole system back online.
Because fun isn’t frivolous. It’s our way out of stress and burn out.
