Boat Club

The SSCA Boat Club is about so much more than boating. Eighty percent of club members don’t even own a boat! We gather to enjoy social interaction and the chance to meet new neighbors. Throughout the year, the Boat Club sponsors five major events, including a swap meet, picnics and holiday parties, as well as monthly Breakfast GAMs

SSCA Boat Club merchandise is now available for purchase online! Show off your Boat Club pride with a variety of gear, all just a click away. Browse the selection and place your order easily through our online store. Please note that all items are for local pickup only.

 

Join us in building the Forever Shores Patio!

Purchase an engraved brick to celebrate pets, friends, and family and to leave your mark on a lasting gathering space for the Southern Shores community.

Together, the SSCA Board and the SSCA Boat Club are planning an expansion of the North Marina Pavilion. The new space will better serve our community, allowing for larger community and private gatherings and eliminating costly tent rentals. While some funds have been set aside, additional support is needed to bring the project to life.

To help bridge the gap, the SSCA is launching an engraved brick fundraiser. These bricks will become part of the Forever Shores Patio, a brick patio which will be incorporated into the new addition plan.

Celebrate your loved ones, your love for Southern Shores, and your love for the Outer Banks while helping create a lasting addition to our SSCA Pavilion on the Sound!

Order and purchase a brick by clicking here: https://sscaobx.memberclicks.net/brickform

 

Brick order forms can also be found in the SSCA office.

 

Each of the three text lines can have up to 20 characters (including spaces). Text will be in all caps and lines will be centered on the brick. Bricks are $100 each NOW and will go up to $120 after 4th July. Only 300 bricks are available so purchase yours today!!
