Boat Ownership – Add a Boat to Our Fleet!

Alternate text

Did you know most of Seattle Sailing Club’s boats are privately owned by club members? Our boat owners help make it possible for hundreds of trained SSC club members to experience the joys of sailing the Puget Sound and San Juan Islands in comfort with their family and friends. Boat Ownership in the Seattle Sailing Club has many advantages. Below are just a few of the reasons sailors have opted to put their boats to work for them.

  • We provide a fixed monthly lease payment year-round for leasing your boat from you.

  • 0 – 15 years old 24′-42′ Keelboats
  • Boats under 30ft – tiller driven

  • Fin keel, short keel, or bulb keels
  • Cruising boats 32’-42’ with anchor windlass

What kind of boats is the Club looking for now?

We are working to expand our Seattle J Club fleet  by Spring 2021. At the top of our member’s wish list are keelboats 34’ to 42’ with 2-3 berths. Boats outside of these specifications are gladly considered as long as they are less than 15 years old and appropriately equipped for bareboat chartering.
