Captain Club is a vetted, premium network, not an open marketplace. Every captain is screened, licensed, and insured before joining. The membership model means owners are committed, serious boaters, which translates to higher quality trips and more consistent earnings for captains.
Fort Lauderdale captains operate across Bahia Mar, the New River, Port Everglades, the Intracoastal Waterway, and offshore Broward County waters. This is where Captain Club started and where the most bookings are.
The water is your office. Captain Club makes sure it pays like one.
