Membership Subscriptions
Since its creation, the boat library’s mission has been to provide access to kayaking to people who would otherwise not have the financial means to paddle. We intend to keep it free to the people who need it to be. To do that, everyone else who is benefitting from using the boat library, needs to contribute.
Subsidized membership
$1 per year
Standard level membership
$86 per year
Pay it forward
$176 per year
If you cannot afford to contribute, don’t feel bad; you are who the boat library was created for and you can pick the $1 tier!
This is our baseline membership. If everyone contributes $7 a month it will just barley cover our operation costs.
If you contribute double, say 14 dollars a month (less than Netflix), you’ve covered yourself and are providing gear for one other person to paddle who would otherwise not have the means.
