Afterguard Membership Options
Boat Sponsorship
Chief, Skipper, and Captain levels are eligible for Afterguard's boat sponsorship program. The Boat Sponsorship Program is perfect for members who want more time on the water and a closer relationship with a specific vessel. Sponsors choose a favorite boat to focus on and receive the benefits associated with that boat’s membership tier (Chief, Skipper, or Captain). In exchange, Sponsors trade time helping care for their chosen boat, assisting with upkeep, readiness, and light maintenance, in return for additional sail time beyond the standard 2.5 pre-paid charter days per month. If your sponsored boat is busy on a day you want to sail, can take one of the other boats in that fleet.
It’s a flexible work/trade arrangement that gives committed sailors deeper access and experience, while supporting the fleet. Ideal for members who sail often, want to mentor others, or are considering boat ownership in the future.
