Your Path to Boating
Without the Hassle or Cost
It’s never been easier to get on the water.
Membership in On The Fox Boat Club gives you access to brand new boats to use at your leisure. We take care of all the maintenance, storage, and any unexpected costs.
You shouldn’t have to buy a boat to enjoy the Fox River and Winnebago water system. Our club gives you the freedom of boat ownership without the commitment or headaches.
Choose which of the boats you want to use, when you want to use it, and go make memories with your friends and family.
How It Works
-
Once you fill out a quick membership application a representative will be in contact to answer any questions you may have and get things rolling. After a one-time initiation fee and annual membership dues are paid you get full access to all boats and amenities.
-
We want you to have a safe, stress-free day every single time you’re having fun in the sun. Before you ever take out a boat we make sure to get you out on the water with our in-house professionals to go over everything from operating the vessel to the best restaurants in the area.
-
After you’re comfortable in the boat it’s time to start making memories! Go to our reservations page on desktop or mobile to schedule up to 4 reservations at any given time. Once you use one up, feel free to schedule your next one right away.
-
After you’re done boating for the day all you need to do is secure the boat back in your member slip, wipe up any spills, and put the cover back on. We’ll take care of all the maintenance, exterior detailing, and removing the boat from the water.
FAQ’s
Membership in a boat club is the easiest way to enjoy the benefits of boat ownership without any of the extra expenses or unforeseen headaches. Here are some questions that you might be wondering about.
-
A boat club is an organization that maintains a fleet of boats which are available for members to use and enjoy at their leisure. A similar structure to a traditional golfing country club.
-
Usage is unlimited for the season. A maximum of 4 reservations can be held at any given time - 2 week days and 2 weekend days. Special accommodations may be made for "last minute" bookings in the event that you have used your allotted reservations and there is an available boat. Please call Lakeside Marina to check on availability no later than 24 hours prior to your desired booking. Our club is comprised of a limited, small group of members to ensure everyone has as many days of boating as possible.
-
All you have to do is go to our reservations page on your desktop or mobile and select the day and which boat.
-
Each of our boats comes fully equipped with all required safety equipment per Coast Guard regulations. Children 12 years of age or younger are required to wear a life jacket at all times while on the vessel - children’s life jackets are not provided.
-
As long as a member is present you can bring anyone you’d like!
-
Absolutely not. Once your initiation fee and membership dues are paid the only expense you’ll have is for the amount of fuel you use.
-
With your reservation, you will be able to use the boat from 11:00am to 8:00pm.
-
The initiation fee helps ensure that the boat club boats remain maintained, cleaned, and ready for use every day.
-
You can have up to 2 members on your membership, however one must be present while the boat is in operation.
-
We understand accidents happen, therefore we have you covered for that reason. All our boats are insured. However, any damage from negligence or misuse will be at the expense of the members.
-
We will replace the boats every season to ensure you are always using the newest and problem-free product.
-
Yes, you can cancel anytime. You will be refunded a prorated amount of your unused season, minus a small cancellation fee.
Membership Boats
We believe our members deserve the best of the best. That’s why we’re proud to offer two of the most sought after brands in their class - Chaparral Bowriders and Godfrey Pontoons.
Whether you want to spend the afternoon at the sandbar or take a sunset cruise to dinner, these boats are designed from top to bottom with versatility in mind. You’ll never have to worry about arriving to find a worn, ‘rental quality’ boat - we provide brand new makes and models every single year.
Check out this year’s models below.
-
2023 Chaparral 21 SSi
Chaparral’s 2023 21 SSi is a luxury bowrider with the perfect combination of style and power. Known industry wide for it’s fit and finish, this boat has seating options throughout, multi-position sun lounge, and a large bow.

2023 Godfrey SW 2286 SFL
The Sweetwater 2286 SFL by Godfrey Pontoons is a robust tritoon spacious enough for the entire family. Instead of boring bench seating this boat has high-end finishes, dinette seating with table, and a sun lounge at the rear.
Our Marina
On The Fox Boat Club is headquartered at Lakeside Marina in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We are conveniently located along the shores of the Fox River, directly between Lake Butte Des Morts and Lake Winnebago.
Boating Made Affordable
Our main goal is to provide an option for people to get out and enjoy time with their friends and family. And during a Wisconsin summer there’s no better place to be than out on the water. We’re now able to make that experience much more accessible.

Our Waterway
We’re lucky to be centrally located on the Winnebago water system. Comprised of several bodies of water, two of the most attractive areas are Lake Winnebago and Lake Butte Des Morts which are joined together by the Fox River and offer areas for cruising, tubing, or playing at the sandbars.
Many cities are located on the Winnebago system. You can find Winneconne north of Lake Butte Des Morts, Oshkosh central on the Fox River, and Fond Du Lac on southern Lake Winnebago - all easily accessible by boat.
