Many people dream of buying a boat, yet the practicalities or costs can be a step too far. Boat Club Trafalgar offers an affordable way to get afloat.
We have members who have previously owned a boat and have switched to the Boat Club. It saves them both time and money. We have members who want to start boating and get out on the water, yet are unsure whether buying a boat is right for them.
To help you decide which way to go, we’ve put together this cost comparison between buying and owning or joining Boat Club Trafalgar.
