Considering joining the Club? Here are the most frequently asked questions about the Emerald Club:
How many people can share a “Membership”?
It is very common that multiple families, friends or business associates share the use of a Membership plan. There is no limit to the number of people named as members on the Individual Membership.
Is this program a “Time Share”?
No, the Membership is based on an annual fee. There is no personal equity, ownership or liability assumed with joining the Emerald Houseboat Club. The Membership is valid for one calendar year beginning January 1 and expires December 31, 2010.
Is there a limit to the number of Memberships?
Yes, this is a limited opportunity in order to maintain the integrity of the schedule. Once the limit is reached, reservations for Memberships will continue on a “Wait List” basis only, with first right of renewal rights given to Members in the club the previous year.
Are there any additional fees in addition to the Membership Fee?
No, but a Member is responsible for fuel and houseboat pump out charges at the end of each trip as well as any charges made in the General Store.
If I have 7 total days reserved already in advance, can I still use the houseboat?
Yes, a Member may use the “Club” boat last minute based on availability and may reserve no more than three days in advance.
What happens with unused points at the end of the season?
Points unused are forfeited at the end of the Membership term.
What happens if I run out of points and wish to add more?
Additional points would be available for purchase after a Member has spent the majority of points allotted.
