Boat Club Membership Contract & Acknowledgment of Risk

Acknowledgment of Risk

I, the undersigned Member, acknowledge that operating, riding on, or otherwise participating in boating activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to personal injury, death, and property damage. Such risks may arise from weather and sea conditions, collisions, mechanical failures, actions of other vessels, marine life, water conditions, or my own actions or omissions. I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks associated with the use of Club vessels, facilities, and participation in Club activities.

Boating Under the Influence (BUI)

Zero Tolerance Policy. No Member or Operator may board or operate a Club vessel while under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or any controlled substance that may impair judgment, coordination, or the safe operation of a vessel.

Safe Operation

Members and Operators shall operate all Club vessels in a safe and prudent manner and in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Reckless or negligent operation—including, but not limited to, excessive speed, unsafe passing, failure to maintain a proper lookout, or dangerous maneuvering—is strictly prohibited.

 Mandatory Course Completion.
All Members and authorized Operators must complete and maintain a valid state-approved boater safety education certificate prior to operating any vessel owned or managed by the Club.

Financial Responsibility

I agree to be financially responsible for any damage to Club vessels, equipment, docks, or third-party property caused by my actions, omissions, or negligence, or that of my guests. I understand that such costs may be charged directly to my account, credit card, or otherwise billed to me by the Club.

Right to Restrict or Cancel Reservations for Safety

The Club reserves the right, in its sole and reasonable discretion, to deny, restrict, modify, reschedule, or cancel any vessel reservation when it determines that continued operation may compromise the safety of Members, guests, staff, vessels, or surrounding waterways. Such determinations may be based on, but are not limited to, adverse weather or sea conditions, mechanical or maintenance concerns, staffing limitations, regulatory compliance issues, or Member conduct. Safety-based reservation decisions are final and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Liability Waiver & Indemnification

I HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS FLYING BRIDGE MARINA, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, THE "RELEASED PARTIES") FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, COSTS, OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO MY USE OR OPERATION OF CLUB VESSELS, USE OF CLUB FACILITIES, OR PARTICIPATION IN CLUB ACTIVITIES, WHETHER CAUSED BY MY OWN ACTIONS, THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS, OR THE CONDITION OF ANY VESSEL OR FACILITY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE RELEASED PARTIES.

Insurance Deductible Responsibility

The Member acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any accident, damage, loss, or claim arising from the operation, use, or possession of a Club vessel during the Member’s reservation, the Member shall be solely responsible for payment of the applicable insurance deductible required under the Club’s insurance policy, per incident. The Club will submit and manage the insurance claim; however, the Member agrees to reimburse the Club in the full amount of the deductible, regardless of fault, except where prohibited by law. The Member further authorizes the Club to charge the deductible amount to the Member’s account, credit card, or security deposit on file. In the event a claim is not covered by the Club’s insurance, the Member shall be responsible for the full cost of all resulting damages or losses.

Electronic Signatures

This Agreement may be executed electronically. Electronic signatures, including those transmitted by PDF or other electronic means, shall have the same force and effect as original signatures.

Binding Agreement and Governing Law
