EZ BoatShare vs. ClubSoft
ClubSoft alternative for a boat a few people actually share.
ClubSoft is club and marina back-office software. EZ BoatShare is built for the two to nine people who jointly own one boat.
For co-owners, family boats and small partnerships — not volunteer boards running a whole clubhouse.
ClubSoft is aimed at yacht clubs and private marinas: member records, invoicing, moorage, QuickBooks workflows and board reporting. If that's your job, it's a serious tool. But if you're three or four people sharing one boat, most of that software is billing you for a clubhouse you don't have. EZ BoatShare starts from the boat: who has it this weekend, who owes whom for fuel, what broke, and where the manuals live.
EZ BoatShare
Per-boat pricing with an optional per-member add-on. Reservations with ownership-share fairness, shared expense ledger and settle-up, float plans, maintenance and issue logs, and Salty, an AI assistant trained on your boat's own manuals.
ClubSoft
Club and marina management software for yacht clubs and private marinas: member management, automated billing and invoicing, moorage charges, card/ACH payments and QuickBooks workflows. Its published Core plan is $1,000/year with higher tiers by club size.

Why groups switch to us
You're paying club prices for a boat
Club platforms price by member count and clubhouse features. We price by boat, so a four-person partnership pays like a four-person partnership.
Fairness, not just a calendar
Set each co-owner's percentage and the calendar enforces it, then releases unclaimed time 48 hours out so nobody's share goes to waste.
Salty knows your boat
Load the engine, radio, fridge and reel manuals once and ask a plain question instead of digging through a binder at the dock.
Common questions
Is EZ BoatShare cheaper than ClubSoft?
For a small group, almost always. ClubSoft's published Core plan is $1,000 per year; our Crew plan is $35/month per boat plus $5 per member, and Solo is $12/month. If you run a full club with moorage accounting, compare features rather than price alone.
Can EZ BoatShare handle dues and capital calls like club software?
Yes. Dues periods, per-member assignments, payment tracking, reminders and capital calls are all built in, with Stripe for collection.
Do you replace a marina's slip management system?
No. We complement it. Berth inventory and invoicing live on our Fleet plan; day-to-day marina accounting is not our focus.
Can we move our member list over?
Yes — invite by email or import a CSV, and members are onboarded from a phone browser in minutes.
