Our memberships cater to diverse boating needs and preferences, fitting seamlessly into various lifestyles. Some members find Agapi Boat Club a perfect standalone solution, while others use it to complement their boat ownership.

What sets us apart is our unique booking principles, enjoying the same freedom as owning your boat – from 1 hour to 1 month, with no restrictions.

Discover a boating experience beyond your imagination!

How often can I use the boat?

Agapi Boat Club offers you unlimited boating days and we take pride in giving members the opportunity to get onboard all year round. We all have different needs but we want you to have the same access to boating as you would have if you owned the boat – the flexibility to hit the water at any time. If a busy life leaves you limited possibilities to go boating, we have special memberships with reduced fees.
 As a member you enjoy an unlimited number of “Spontaneous bookings” that you can use within 24 hours of departure. Alternatively you can book your trip in advance to secure access to a specific date, harbour or boat model.

What does it cost?

The cost of our memberships varies, ranging from approximately 3,000 Euros to 35,000 Euros, dependent on the region, type of boat, and membership plan. Our experience indicates that a standard membership typically amounts to around 40% of the cost it would take to purchase the same boat for private ownership. However, beyond the cost savings, the real value lies in the unprecedented boating lifestyle you gain access to – new boats every year, equipped with the latest technology in various locations around the globe. Our commitment to excellent member service is steadfast, so please feel free to schedule a meeting with one of our representatives to learn more. We’d be delighted to guide you in finding the membership that aligns best with your needs, budget and aspirations.

Can I rely on having the boat available whenever I want it?

In 2023, our availability soared to over 99%. We measure this by calculating the percentage of successful booking intents, taking into account our queue system that addresses the majority of requests. Maintaining a top availability rate is imperative for us as we offer a premium service, and our smart booking algorithms play a pivotal role in optimizing the fleet at all times. The integration of privately owned boats into our fleet not only enhances our offerings but also assists in managing seasonal peaks, thus ensuring consistently great availability. Moreover, rest assure that with Agapi you always have the possibility to tailor your membership to suit your personal boating needs.

Agapi Academy

Continuous learning is embedded in Agapi’s DNA, and our passion for sharing extends to imparting best practices and knowledge.

Leveraging our E-learning platform, we offer a multitude of resources, supplemented by personalized support from our own staff, often referred to as “PT” (Personal Trainers), and collaboration with local navigation schools for advanced official courses. As a part of your membership, we can tailor a development plan to maximize your experience at sea.

Frequent questions – here are the answers!

Our Unlimited memberships – ideal for most boating needs.

This membership is ideal for boaters who want to enjoy all the unique advantages that Agapi Boat Club offers, including unlimited boating days, unlimited access to the most attractive destinations worldwide as well as unlimited access to a fleet of premium boats with the latest technology. Building on the same flexibility and feeling of owning your own boat but adding several dimensions making membership boating the natural choice for more people. Find your ideal membership plan based on location, boat category, usage, and service level. Most of our members start with an annual membership where the customisation possibilities are vast, we’d be delighted to help you choose the one that best suits your lifestyle and budget.

 

Our PayGo memberships – for occasional boating needs.

If you are not sure how much you will go boating (less than 5-6 times per year) or perhaps only want to try out Agapi Boat Club, our PayGo membership is the perfect solution for you. A PayGo membership gives you full control over your boating costs, you pay a low annual fee and then for each boat trip that you make. The pricing scheme depends on your chosen boat category and the location. This membership enables you to go boating from any of our locations worldwide.

 

Our Business memberships – for small or medium-large companies.

This membership combines boating with business in a unique way. This membership is ideal if you would like to offer a unique benefit to your team members, or if you want to enhance a business opportunity and offer an unforgettable event by socialising with customers and employees in a marine environment.

 

Smart boat ownership – combine boat ownership with a Club membership.

Are you really keen on owning your boat but still want access to Agapi’s all-year-round boating across all locations worldwide? Why not benefit from our so-called Smart boat ownership. In a few words: you activate your private boat in our Club fleet, let us manage it and take care of all the associated chores. You still get to use your boat whenever and as much as you want and on top of this, you will get a monetary compensation each time it’s used by the Club. Get in touch with us to find out more about this smart solution.

A high availability is a must for a premium boating service as the one Agapi Boat Club offers.

 

We constantly measure availability of our fleet and during 2023 we had above 99% availability (less than 1% “unsolved booking requests”). Even though we can never promise a 100% availability (nor can privately owned boats) given our sharing concept, our booking algorithms and restricted load factor of members per boat, we can assure an optimal availability.

 

One should though stress that booking and boating with Agapi Boat Club is different from owning your own boat. You may need to plan a little bit more than with your own boat, but the upsides are vast: the boats are always ready, clean and in pristine condition all year around. Once a member, you will understand and experience what we mean – knowing that the fleet is constantly clean, fuelled up and professionally maintained will inspire you to go boating more than before, in different boats and from different harbours. This is a new way of boating. Finally, it should be noted that it is possible to buy extra boating days if needed through our App.

 

Finally, it should be noted that it is possible to buy more availability through our “Planned days”. This is normally something our members can adjust as they get into the booking logic.

The Agapi Onboarding is one of the core principles of Agapi Boat Club and it takes place in three phases. The first part is a virtual training (E-learning) where you learn all about “The Agapi Way”, our routines and values. The second part is a meeting where you and your mentor close the theoretical part. The third and last part is a practical training on the boat with a licensed Agapi instructor.

The Agapi definition of membership boating is quite comprehensive.

 

Agapi is ploughing ahead internationally, developing a new and ground-breaking boating experience that is quite different from traditional boating and from other more basic boat clubs.

 

Membership boating refers to a model where individuals pay a membership fee to gain access to a fleet of boats. Members enjoy the benefits of boating without the responsibilities associated with boat ownership, such as maintenance, mooring, storage, and insurance.

 

If you still want to own your boat and at the same time enjoy all the benefits of being a member, Agapi offers solutions in which you can activate your boat in the Club’s fleet.

 

Agapi has been offering membership solutions and services since 2017 and has built a strong track record since then. Here some indicators.

Spontaneous boat bookings – Unlimited memberships include unlimited number of spontaneous bookings. These are 1-24 hour bookings that can be made within 24 hours of departure. In practice, this gives you the opportunity to go boating every day all year round

 

Planned days – Unlimited memberships include reusable 24-hours booking called Planned Days. The number of Planned days included depends on the membership plan and can be booked in advance to secure access to a specific date, harbour or boat model. This type of booking can be re-used once the trip is completed or cancelled and thus your Planned day becomes available for re-booking.

 

Extra Days – Can be used to book longer periods, such as an entire week or to book several specific dates. When an Extra day has been used, it is considered consumed and cannot be re-used. The price for an Extra day depends on the boat model, season and region.

 

Engine usage – Unlimited memberships include 50 hours of engine usage. This is enough for most members as the normal usage for a private boat is approximately 20 hours. If the member reaches the 50 hours, a supplement is applied for an additional 10-hour engine interval. There are no restrictions on extra intervals of engine hours in the membership. On the other hand, we have a user guarantee for low usage. If a member on any Unlimited membership made less than 5 bookings during the membership year, we offer a 25% discount on the following year renewal.

There are no restrictions to how long you can book a boat. You can go out for 1 h, 1 day, 1 week or even 1 month. It mostly depends on the membership plan that you choose.

We welcome all boaters. Our focus on the premium segment implies ability to handle the boats properly and responsibly. A large part of our members are quite experienced boaters, however, we welcome the new boating generation with no prior experience. In this case we provide the required support, guidance and training into an amazing boating life in a safe and structured way.

 

Whatever the level of experience, our instructors and skippers are there to support you initially or at any time if you want to improve your boating skills. We abide to local regulations regarding formal navigation licenses and always secure that members have the required formal and practical credentials to go out boating – this is in everyone’s interest and safety.

 

Regardless of experience, the most important aspects are about attitude, core values and respecting the Club’s routines. Those are clearly outlined in “The Agapi Way”, our comprehensive members’ manual which is a part of the Onboarding. The only way to maintain a premium service is through responsible and respectful members.

As we have different kind of memberships and we offer personalisation based on your specific boating needs, the best approach is to talk to us. Book a meeting with us to better understand which membership better suits your lifestyle and budget. Have a look at our customized membership solutions and prices here in our web.

 

We offer Unlimited memberships for normal boating use, ranging from approximately 3,000 Euros to 35,000 Euros depending on boat size, region and service levels. Start by choosing between our boat categories based on the boat model and size that you prefer. Lower categories of boats are always included, and you can upgrade your membership plan at any point in time.

 

For you with only occasional boating needs or willing to test, our PayGo memberships (Pay-As-You-Go) could be perfect. PayGo is based on a low annual membership giving you the right to book boats and pay-per-use. The PayGo memberships start from only 2,500 Euros and are a great way to get a taste of Agapi.

 

For you with a very high usage or needs to have the boat for longer periods, we offer those possibilities with Unlimited membership, or a combination with your own boat through our “Smart boat ownership” offering.

 

We will be happy to draft the alternatives for you based on your ideal boating life, needs and budget.
