Mariners cards

Barton & Gray’s membership program has been providing access to exceptional Hinckley Yachts for a decade. Its Mariners cards (the Ensign, Lieutenant, and Admiral) allow members to explore the beautiful coastlines from Nantucket to the Bahamas. While each level offers unlimited reservations, each has varying terms on the models and number of reservations guests are allowed to hold at one time. The ultra-exclusive Fleet Admiral allows for 20 reservations to be held at once, including full-day reservations. The other levels allow for only half-day reservations. “Only two Fleet Admiral memberships open up each year,” says Wil Lockman, vice president of business development. “Those members never hear us say ‘no.’” The Fleet Admiral card has a one-time initiation fee of $10,000, with dues of $95,000 per year. Not ready to run the fleet? The Ensign is $25,000 per year with the $10,000 initiation fee. (bartonandgray.com)
