Boat Club Members

  • Check their confirmation paper to confirm they get on the correct boat

  • Social conversation on the walk down (how’s your day going?, comment on something they are wearing, sports jersey etc, weather. If you recognize them, make them feel welcome by saying - good to see you again etc.)

  • Help them get on the boat, keeping the boat secured

  • Ensure they have all the equipment they have requested

  • Children are wearing life vests that fit

  • When they are ready to leave, untie boat and assist them out of their slip


Please instruct Boat club members to:

  • Please return the boat to the gas dock for a fill up and then return it to the appropriate slip (show them the marker naming the boat and you can also show them the dock box number)

  • If they are not comfortable parking their boat independently, they may unload from the gas dock and we will return it (not our preference and not for after hours returns)

  • Ask them to leave any life jackets they have used on the seats, to ensure they are sanitized for the next person

  • Ask they remove all their trash and personal belongings before leaving

  • Remind them of bridges and no beaching: remind them that this is beneficial to both us and them


Returning After Hours Instructions:

  • Please return the boat to your designated slip and leave the key in the ignition

  • Remind them that the gates automatically lock behind them after hours so to have all personal belongings with them before they head to their vehicle


IMPORTANT WORK ETHICS

  • On the gas docks, When a boat comes past the no wake buoy, all members should be standing and helping the boat. Never should anyone be sitting while there is a boat in the slip. Customers like to see a busy team and will reward you for it.

  • Do not eat down by the pumps in front of customers. We want you to have a un interrupted lunch and if someone is waiting for a slip and see you eating they can become upset.

  • One team member per boat club member. Better experience.

  • Do not walk through the mulch or tube to get to club docks. Run on the sidewalk.

  • Please keep pumps open until we close.. If we close at 7pm that does not mean you clock out and leave at 7pm.. You clean up and get everything ready for the next morning. Do NOT leave a Team Member hanging. Clean pumps. etc.

BOAT CLEANLINESS

  • Boats should be immaculate and dry. Final touches include all windshields and drivers console, tables and exterior. Remember ski boats need the outsides washed and waxed also. Motor cowlings need to be waxed often to keep water spots down.
