Mid Summer Pricing is here! Only $3000 with no fees till April!

Hi everyone. Sorry for the lack of posts, but the season has been jamming! Great weather has been a big help. We are up to 11 boats and almost 90 members! We'll be adding boats this coming winter.

There is still plenty of boating season left, making now a great time to join our club. If you join now there are no monthly fees till next April, a huge savings. Plus we are only asking for $3000 entry fee now, with the remaining $1900 due next April.

Are you heading south this winter? Then why not join now, get trained up and use our boats all fall, then you have access to the southern clubs this winter!

Want to learn more, give me a call or shoot me an email!

Open House this weekend!

Open House this weekend! More members means we'll be shopping for another boat! Come by either Dennis club 12-4 both days. All our boats are now in for viewing!

Can't make it, now worries, call Matt at 508.398.3221.

12 Months of Boating!

Here's a pic of member Penny Maddy, taking it easy on the intercoastal last week in Florida in one of FBC's boats!

Members of FBC Dennis get 4 trips at each club every year in addition to their unlimited use in Dennis!

Can you say 120 fish?!?!

Yup. One of our members caught 120 fish on Sunday out of Sesuit in East Dennis, our first member's trip out this season. Mostly cod, from what I hear.

Captain Harvey, Captain Bob and I have been busy sea trialing boats at our West Dennis club the past two days. Now we just need Dennis and Yarmouth to get the channel markers in the river so we can start boating on the south side this year!

Open House again this weekend! 12-4 both days!

Capt.Harvey at the helm!

We often get asked, 'So what do you do all winter long?' Captain Harvey spent a good chunk of the winter down in the Keys, and even found some time to get out on the water in between cold spells. Here's Harvey doing a delivery last month.

As much fun as I'm sure the Keys were, we're happy to have Harvey back at our helm, leading our training team this Spring!

Hyannis Rotary Home Show at Barnstable High School!

Jack Tompkins from the Falmouth FBC and I are at the Hyannis Rotary Home and Garden Show this weekend. Sat was very busy and we seemed to be creating a good buzz. The FBC bug is definitely spreading!

Aerial Pics of Bass River and the marina

Check out these great winter pics that one of our members just took from the air! One more day of rain, then the rest of the week looks awesome. Think Spring!
