Cherokee Boat Club is a membership-based boat club serving the Gallatin, Lebanon, and Nashville, Tennessee areas. The club operates on Old Hickory Lake and gives members access to a maintained fleet of boats without the cost or effort of owning a vessel. According to the company, it is the only locally owned boat club in the Nashville area, and it presents membership as a way to enjoy boating without the responsibilities of cleaning, storage, or maintenance. The model is built around upfront pricing with no hidden fees and boats kept in the water and ready for use.

The company states that members are freed from cleaning, storage, and maintenance responsibilities, and it describes the offering as a luxury, care-free boating experience.
Cherokee Boat Club lists two primary membership tiers. The Platinum Membership is listed at $409 per month and provides complete access to the entire fleet, including wakeboard boats and tritoons, available Monday through Sunday with unlimited usage and no blackout dates. The Gold Membership is listed at $389 per month and provides complete access to the basic fleet, such as tritoons, and is positioned for beginners or members not interested in the wakeboard boats. Both tiers include no cancellation fees and before-hours and after-hours usage. New members pay a one-time orientation fee upon joining.
The fleet includes wake and surf boats such as the Supreme S220 and the Supreme ZS212, the latter described as a 21-foot 2-inch vessel with a tapered-V hull.

According to the club’s FAQs, members receive two half-day reservations on the books that can be used at any time, with reservations made through the app, website, phone, or text. The club states that it maintains one boat for every five members, which it describes as the industry’s lowest member-to-boat ratio, and it notes that there is no limit to how many times members may use the boats.
