The basis of this club is a members based water sports club where you can use your own boat for water skiing in all forms (pair, mono, slalom, trick, jump, barefoot), Wakeboarding, Kneeboard, Wakesurfing, Airchair and just for fun (especially for the younger members) the use of inflatable, ringos and doughnuts.

No, but we do share the lake with Chase Sailing Club. The lake is demarcated across the middle of the lake keeping the two activities separate and safe. They can be contacted at Chase Sailing Club, Pool Road, Chasetown, Walsall, WS7 8QW. Tel. 01543 686390

No, in the interests of safety (particularly with regard to skiers in the water) Jet Ski’s are not permitted at the club.

Chasewater runs a highly successful Watersports centre which offers lessons for children from the age of four upwards. The centre can also cater for larger groups from Birthday parties? Scouting Clubs and large school groups.

Buy a boat. The initial outlay of boat ownership can be expensive but the sport (and club) offer great value for money entertainment for the whole family once set-up (typically £30 to £40 of fuel per day compared to the price of family entrance to a theme park or supporting your favourite football team). Boat prices range from £1,500 to many thousands of pounds for a tournament boat.

The boat that you buy will depend on what you intend to use it for and how much you have to spend. The general limitations at the club are as follows:

• All boats must be in good working order and will be subject to the clubs scrutineering procedure
• Boats must only have one engine (Seadoo accepted) i.e. twin engine racing boats are not allowed.
• Minimum engine size is 40hp
• Minimum boat size is 13′
• Maximum boat size is 23′

Why not come along to the club and discuss with management or members the virtues of boats and boating. You will gain a great deal of information this way and will get a good feel for what will suit your needs. We always have boats advertised on the notice boards most of which are well known to the club and can be tried and tested prior to purchase.

Yes. All boats on the lake are club members. All new members are properly inducted, provided with a copy of the club rules and are given tuition (if required) in the safe operation and handling of boats (and skiers) on the lake. All members must carry the correct insurance. All members are asked to complete the Speed Boat Drivers within their first year of membership. All of the above help fulfil the club’s primary objective of maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all.

No. The club welcomes all applications for membership.

No. Once a member you can ski from dawn to dusk, 365 days per year (With the exception of approximately 4 weekend days per year when the whole lake is given to the sailing club for national events. We too have national or key local events when we have use of the entire lake. On some of these days also the water will be closed to members although support at such events is always encouraged and welcome).

Some discounts are offered to new members so for up to date information please contact / Jason enquires@chasewatersportscentre.co.uk

No. There are no additional slip fees or daily charges for skiing once you have become a member.

Yes. The club rules are there for your own safety, for the safety of other members and the safety of other visitors to the club.
