SOMD Boat Club is located in picturesque Southern Maryland at Coltons Point Marina. The club provides its membership the opportunity to
experience the inviting waters of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. SOMD Boat Club Members can use
any of the professionally maintained boats in our fleet. The boats range from a sporty 18' bow rider
to a well equipped 23' cuddy cabin, and everything in between. If you become a SOMD Boat Club Member -
bring your family and friends ready for a morning or afternoon of Water Skiing, Tubing, Fishing, or
just Exploring...and we'll take care of the rest.
SOMD Boat Club is an alternative to boat ownership. Owning a boat can be time consuming and expensive. Time...SOMD Boat Club takes care of preparing the boat for a trip, making sure all of the safety gear is onboard and up-to-date, cleaning the boat before and after the trip, making sure the tank is full before you leave, and making sure the boat is ready for a day on the water. Money...Annual and seasonal maintenance, unexpected repairs, slip fees, insurance, not to mention the boat payment itself, all add up to a yearly total that far exceeds the cost of membership in SOMD Boat Club. Glance at the comparison of SOMD Boat Club Membership vs. Boat Ownership and you will see the benefits of becoming a member, and that doesn't factor in the cost of your time.
The plan is simple:
- You become a member of the club
- Reserve the boat you want to use through our easy online reservation system
- Bring your family or friends to SOMD Boat Club and take a boat
- ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY...a morning or afternoon on the water
- Bring the boat back to Coltons Point Marina
- Done, it's that simple!
In addition, Coltons Point Marina and its staff are very supportive of SOMD Boat Club. Membership in SOMD Boat Club gives you unlimited access to all of the amenities and events of the marina. Each year Coltons Point Marina provides its slip holders with crab feasts, barbeques, and social outings to which SOMD Boat Club members will be invited.
SOMD Boat Club simply provides its members with all of the fun of having a boat without the cost and time required in owning one. Contact us today to find out if membership is right for you - 301.769.3121 or Info@SOMDBoatClub.com.
Buying vs. Club Membership
SOMD Boat Club is a membership based boat club that provides its members all the fun of boating without the hassles of owning. Our fleet of 2012 Wellcraft boats are well equipped, professionally maintained, clean and safe. They are all powered by Yamaha outboard motors, arguably some of the most fuel efficient motors on the market today. Simply put, SOMD Boat Club is easily the most affordable way to enjoy what the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay have to offer.
