This first-class opportunity is designed for families who want to get out on the water who seek a crew that is exceedingly professional with operations, navigating, safety-security, water sports, and catering to couples and families.
Professionalism matters
Over the past 13 years Todd has taken his passion for boating and spreading the Salt Life and Long Island Sound experiences to children and families throughout Southern Fairfield County. It is that unstoppable enthusiasm for creating memorable experiences that brought forth this exciting new boat club concept. The club utilizes the High Tide vessels, docks, equipment and staff who are trained, licensed and insured to operate adventures on the Westport and Long Island Sound waters. Commanding the boat club is Todd Gilman, Master Captain, with over 44 years of experience on the Saugatuck and throughout the Norwalk Islands.
Experience
The goal of the boat club is to create an unparalleled association for member families that is stress free and welcoming. Imagine an atmosphere that provides endless fun and adventure with safe keeping and supervision whether on an excursion or your families participation in water sports. Your family members time on the water is the club's priority.
A family membership includes general instruction in operating and navigating a vessel. The crew provides instruction when members and guest participate in water-sports: tubing, water skiing and wake-boarding and lastly, the crew will present instruction when Saltwater Fishing from managing the deck to assisting anglers - all bait, rods and tackle are included with your excursion.
Reliability
The T13 Boat Club utilizes two Key West Vessels: a 2024 219 FS center console and a 2025 239 DFS sport bow rider. Both vessels are powered with Yamaha outboard motors.
Service
On days when family life can be a bit hectic, drop the kids off at the dock and the crew can take them out while you gain free time to take care of errands and family business. Use one of your charter options for:
- Birthday parties
- Romantic dinners
- Island drop-off and exploring
- Swimming, tubing and fishing
- Trips to Northport or Port Jefferson on Long Island
Membership
In order to create a timely and measurable private family boat club, Todd has designed three membership levels mirroring existing charter options offered by High Tide Island Adventures. More importantly, the club is limiting the member family association to thirteen (13) families ensuring clean available boats with a friendly crew.
There is a membership fee to join. However, there is no initiation, gas, port or activity fees. This club provides freedom for your family to truly enjoy leisure time out on the water. The crew will take photos to capture your moments whether boating in and around Westport or cruising to Northport an Port Jefferson.
