It’s the traditional ‘welcome to summer” event, the kickoff to everything backyard BBQ.  And the famous sayonara to school and hello to all things fun in the sun. It’s a moment to take time to celebrate and remember those who have given their lives in military combat in allegiance to our country. Got the buzzword yet? Next to Independence Day, it’s America’s second favorite red-white-and-blue commemoration. One more hint, it is one of the biggest and best boating dates of the year! You got it – welcome to Memorial Day!

Whether you make a day of it, or even take the weekend to slip away and live large, the lake is the perfect destination for celebration. All five of our home lakes and rivers are top-of-the-line venues for renting a cozy water-side abode, or feel free to stick around your local marinas for unique festivities you do not want to miss. From fireworks to live music and stellar cuisine, it’s a recipe for great memories. At the Carefree Boat Club we like to do it big, so make it a party by beaching your favorite pontoon boat in a secluded inlet. You can’t beat it for a festive cookout and bonfire!

Your friends at the Carefree Boat Club are so excited to see you on the lake this Memorial Day, but while it’s fresh on the brain, let us make a suggestion. Through ResNet, our online reservation system, make sure to go ahead and select your boat of choice and your desired time slot. It is an extremely popular day for folks to look for a way to get out on the water with their friends and families, especially given the current safety measures taken on group gatherings. The lake is a safe place to have fun, and spots will fill up quickly! The sooner the better. Let’s begin new traditions on this beloved holiday, and create memories to last a lifetime. Remember to tag us in your posted photos – we cannot wait to see the fun you have!
