This is *the* VIP Summer Hack That’s Better Than Owning a Boat
Spring may have only just begun here in Western New York, but believe us when we say, it’ll be summer before you know it! And if you’re anything like us, you’re already getting excited for all of the beautiful sunny days you’ll spend out on the water this year.
But don’t run to make plans with your designated friend-with-a-boat just yet. What if we told you that you could become the MVP of the friend group this season— without any of the hassle or cost of actually owning a boat?
Introducing Carefree Boat Club, a unique third alternative to buying or renting a boat in Buffalo.
