Savoring September on the Water

POSTED: Sep 8, 2025

Welcome back, Carefree boaters! It has been a full and exciting summer on our lakes, and your friends at the Carefree Boat Club have loved getting to see you make the most of it! There is nothing quite like beating the August heat with a refreshing dunk in the lake, or an afternoon spent learning to wake surf behind your favorite Carefree Boat Club boat. As the seasons change, however, so do our boating adventures. September in Tennessee is the sweet spot between the dog days of summer and the crisp chill of fall—the air cools just enough to render afternoons on the water comfortable, while the lakes remain warm and inviting, It’s the perfect time to trade crowded summer weekends for serene, breezy adventures.

While many boaters tend to treat Labor Day as the end of the summer, school has started back and event calendars are back in full swing, Carefree Boat Club members know that the boating season is far from over! In fact, September might just be the best time to enjoy all that the East Tennessee lakes have to offer, and the best part is, there is no hassle of ownership!

Some of our favorite ways to boat are a part of September’s repertoire. Cooler evenings make for cozy boating with a packed picnic and loved ones. The many coves and island that are tucked away in Tennessee’s lakes make for excellent dining spots against a backdrop of changing leaves and peaceful waters. If you’re up for something different, why not try an overnight stay? Camping along the shoreline or even sleeping aboard your Carefree Boat Club Boat is a fresh way to enjoy the outdoors while the temperatures are perfect. If you are looking for a fun activity for kids and adults alike, try making an overnight reservation and enjoying your floating cabin under the stars. Waking up to a sunrise over the water during its most peaceful hours with a coffee brewed onboard is an unbeatable combination. Don’t forget a comfortable sleeping pad and a blanket for an unforgettable night!

One of the greatest parts of being a member of the Carefree Boat Club is the ease of access to the lake that we provide our members. Boat Club members enjoy full access to our top-of-the-line fleet, with a simple online reservation system that lets you choose your preferred boat and a time that works for you and your crew.
