Crew's Nest Members!?!?!
 

We went up to the Cleveland Boat show and signed up to be members, can't wait to use the faculties this year and kind of relax at the docks rather then worry about getting a dock at the public docks. Signed up RT930 also while we were there. Anyone else members? I like the fact that even if we can't get in one weekend we can go to the public docks but still use the facilities. Might be nice to eat, drink, and not be surrounded by 21 year olds. Don't get me wrong I like the Round house and Frostys but this can be a nice break if need be, without out resorting to Kellys.:drink:

Damn those 20-something year old kids!! :D

I know, probably sound like a grumpy old fart don't I

How is the Crew's Nest compared to Park Place? What is the cost?

We compared the two and the Crew's Nest had more amenities. Park Place is the same as the Keys, right?

Park Place does have newer docks that look pretty nice, but no pool or fitness area. Crew's Nest is all Private too, private pool, restaurant, bar, fitness, and docks. The Social and Recreational Membership is 750 with 325 initiation fee, which was waived if you signed up at the Boat show. Not sure what Park Place is, I'm guess around the same. Park Place does seem to have a little better docking rights for there membership, I believer there free during the week and 1.75 a foot on weekends and you can reserve 5 weekends too, I think. Soc and Rec membership you can call the Thursday prior for reservation. They have standby boating where you can reserve 10 days out but that member ship is like 1400 dollars. They have a new platinum membership that lets you reserve 5 weekends but no clue on cost.

It's basically all what you looking for. We can still go to the public docks and tie up but still have a private pool, shower house, restaurant bar, and fitness if we want. Park place would just be private shower houses.

We are members of Crews Nest. Been one for over 10 years. Love the place and I hear they are adding a new pool. It is a tad pricey but thats life. We usually run down from Grosse Ile in the Nortech CC.

Sooooo.....does that mean you can get us all packed in there when I bring a bunch of boats over from Chicago June 6?

We stay there all the time and without a member ship.

I let my Park Place membership lapse as I did not have a boat last year. Contemplating Crew's Nest after reading this post. I will have to compare the two. How ofter is Crew's Nest sold out?

Going to be real pissed if Park Place charges me an initiation fee after being a paying member for two years.

What's wrong with Kelleys?? maybe I am the old one, but I cannot stand getting beers spilled all over me in the elbow to elbow bars and wait 20 minutes for drinks anymore at PIB, plus all the cocky Jersey shore tourists, I like it before memorial day and after labor day, docks are expensive if you get one, and people don't respect your boat and even 2 of my buddys had boats untied and taken for rides in the marina by strangers...I would not bash Kelleys, you would be surprised how much fun that place is when you're regular there, I always have a dock no matter how slammed it is...
PIB was a little more fun after my divorce though.... love sluts that drink haha
Fitness? leave that for weekdays! got to party on weekends, not get fit LOL

Nothing is wrong with Kellys, we've discussed this before. I guess it's wherever you have more fun, plus it's a little longer boat ride to PIB which can be fun. I can relax @ PIB and not be annoyed, gotta know where to go, and when to leave a bar when it sucks. I think you are generalizing the island. You obviously have more fun on Kellys, good for you. And talk about expensive, Portside @ Kellys seems to be expensive.

" people don't respect your boat and even 2 of my buddys had boats untied and taken for rides in the marina by strangers...I would not bash Kelleys, "

You seem to have that problem too, didnt you have your boat untied, unplugged and pushed out at kelleys with noone on it?...........lol

Details.

Who just leaves their boat avaaible for anyone to take out? Do you leave your boat open with leys and everything avaiable to the pucblic?

This seems to be an issue these days no matter where you go (every bar), I never understood the clowns who left their keys in the and walked away with their boat out of their sight, shoot i even lock my door

LOL hate portside, we get in boats and run around all the time, se we for sure get boat time in...I used to love PIB, just last few years it's been annoying me...

That was some azzhole that decided to untie my boat and try to leave, he was from Erie PA, I HOPE he comes back this summer, it was a 303 Formula and a 292 Fas-tech.... we have the numbers from boats to be sure....one time in 20 years we had an issue, was my own boat LOL, dude thought he was gonna knock me out for telling his hag wife to get out of my face, he was real surprised when I jumped back up and knocked him to the dock!!

and yes, my keys and nearly every boat in the Casino has them in ignition, never once a problem.... too many of us are buddys and there just isnt issues there to worry about....someones always watching when you know everyone at the Tiki bar!!

There policy on rafting is only if the boat your rafting with is ok with it. So I'm sure it won't be a problem as long as we can get in that weekend.

Didn't know you were coming over that weekend.

+1 for Kelleys......
