“Bear Necessity” in her slip
We have a fleet of fully equipped J/24 sailboats at Pier 121 Marina on Lake Lewisville. They are available for rent exclusively to qualified sailors.
Proof of sailing competency is required:
You have several rental options to sail our J/24 rental boats: Hourly rentals or our Membership program.
Our J/24’s are available for hourly rentals ($199/hr, plus taxes & fees, includes rigging & unrigging time). We have specific time blocks available (mornings, afternoons, & evenings -daylight allowing). Proof of competency is required prior to renting.
If you are planning to sail more than just a few hours, our Membership Program is for you.
Unlimited sailing: There are only a few limits on your access to sailing our J/24’s for the term of your membership. You will be subject to our sailing rules. For example, access to the boat may be limited by your capability, wind speed, boat availability, and daylight. You are also be limited to a rolling-total of 20 hours of future reservations. As you use (or delete) a reservation, you may add additional reservations -up to a sum total of 20 hours. There is no limit on last-minute sailing -subject to our sailing rules.
Online Reservations: Reserve your boat directly on the internet (see the RESERVATIONS link at the top of this screen). Once your account has been activated, you’ll get a User Id & Password and you can reserve the boat and go sailing!
You have three Membership options (3 month, 6 month, or 12 month). You can sail our J-24 sailboats for a little as about $8 per day! Additional taxes & fees apply (ie sales tax, Corps of Engineers fees, etc…)
Renewing Memberships & new graduates of our school enjoy a discount from the standard pricing.
NOTE: additional taxes & fees apply (ie sales tax, Corps of Engineers fees, etc…)
