Boating
As part of a continuing effort to reduce the number of boats on EMA docks, and at the same time encourage boating activities on the lake, The Eagles Mere Association has formed a boat Co-op open to all EMA members. For an annual fee, EMA members can join the Boat Co-op and have access to boats in the EMA rental fleet, without additional rental cost. This policy is designed to be consistent with the same privileges that family members and guests enjoy with Member Beach Privileges.
Members who are interested in joining need to consider that the Association rental fleet is well stocked with canoes and kayaks but only has a limited number of sailboats.
- Membership in the Co-op will include the use of boats in the fleet by the member and his/her immediate family, extended family and guests residing at their residence/cottage.
- The Member should be residing in the cottage at the time and should accompany any guest to the Beach Boat Dock initially to confirm the qualifications of family members and guests with Boat Supervisor.
- During regular operating hours, members of the Co-op and their guests may check out boats for a period of 2 hours. Depending on the demand for boats at the time, the Boat Supervisor may extend or shorten the period the boat may be used.
- Depending on the demand for rental boats, the Boat Supervisor may limit the number of boats a Member’s family and guests may take at any one time.
- Boats will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. No reservations.
- Boats used for EMAA competitions or triathlons is at the discretion the Boat Supervisor.
- Arrangements to have boats available after hours and during the off season must be made with the Beach Boat Dock and Boat Supervisor.
- Boats must be picked up, docked and returned to the Beach Boat Dock. Boats checked out after hours must be back at the rental dock by 9:30 the following morning.
