Lakeside Marina Launches On The Fox Boat Club As Ownership Alternative
Oshkosh, WI 11/16/2022 -- Lakeside Marina announced today a new way for people to go boating in Oshkosh. On The Fox Boat Club. The club offers memberships that provide unlimited use of brand-new boats that can be enjoyed with friends and family on the Winnebago water system.
Members simply go to the club website to reserve a date and pick out which boat they’ll be using. Then the boat is in a slip waiting for them when they arrive that day - a similar structure to a traditional golfing country club. All the hassles of boat ownership like cleaning, fueling, launching, loading, and maintaining are handled by Lakeside Marina.
“We’re so excited to bring a boat club to Lakeside Marina,” said Marketing Manager Sawyer Erickson. “Oshkosh has such amazing access to local boating hotspots and we want more people to be able to enjoy those. This is a really easy way for more families to make memories out on the water.”
Eliminating the long list of costs that come with buying and owning a boat, including loan payments, slip fees, cleaning, maintenance, and insurance makes it easier for more people to enjoy the lifestyle that typically only boat owners can take advantage of.
“We understand that not everyone can afford a boat - it’s not cheap,” said Sales Manager Corey Bodenbach. “This is a much more affordable way to enjoy the boating lifestyle with your friends and family. Members don’t have to worry about all of the expenses that really add up fast on top of the loan payments that most people have from buying a boat in the first place. We take care of all that so you can just go boating and have fun.”
Members-only boat-sharing groups have become a popular option in recent years as inflation and enthusiastic demand have driven the price of new and used boats higher than ever.
“We have a passion for enjoying our local waterways and we knew we had to offer an alternative to buying a boat that still gets people out there enjoying the same things,” said Lakeside Marina Owner and President Joe Honsa. “There’s nothing better than spending the day with your friends or family out at the sandbar or going fishing with your kids for the day. Those are the really good times that everyone remembers.”
On The Fox Boat Club is located at Lakeside Marina in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and is conveniently positioned along the shores of the Fox River between Lake Butte Des Morts and Lake Winnebago. Membership information, pricing, and applications are available at OnTheFoxBoatClub.com for the 2023 boating season.
