The way I read it if there was any kind of accident, and they deem alcohol was a contributing factor, you would have no insurance. It also stated that you (the member) was the only one that was authorized to run(pilot) the boat.
During our talk with the owner, he stated that if there was a break down they would take care of it. In the contract, it says that you the member are responsible for any towing charges. They would come if available, if not you pay.
There was also a $1500 transfer fee if you decide to sell your membership. There were a few other things that I found a little concerning but I don't want to seem to rag on the guys' business.
The biggest thing to me was the alcohol thing. It didn't state impaired or over the legal limit, it stated if it was a contributing factor. I won't drive a car off the lot without insurance and you never know what could happen. You could bump someone else's boat at a restaurant knock someone down or something.
Again, I may be worried over nothing. If you are interested you should talk to them and get a contract and decide for yourself.

Sounds like this is not the club for you to join if alcohol is strictly prohibited.
