Boat club shirts with no minimum order solve the problem most boat clubs run into: a member volunteer collecting sizes, placing a bulk order, and chasing late payments. The Bear Grips Pro Shops model removes that. The club gets a branded store, members order their own shirt, and shirts ship direct to each member. No batch, no minimum, no inventory.
Why No-Minimum Shirts Fit Boat Clubs Better Than Bulk Orders
Boat clubs do not behave like sports teams. Members join at different times, attend different events, and have different apparel needs across the season. A new member who joins in July does not want to wait for the next September bulk order. A member who shows up for the spring opener does not want to negotiate sizing with a volunteer over text.
A no-minimum store solves it. The store stays open year-round. A member who joins in July orders their shirt in July. A member who lost a polo orders a replacement. A guest who attended the commodores ball and wants to remember the night orders a tee. The club bar never gets involved.
Shirt Styles Available for Boat Club Stores
Bear Grips Pro Shops carries the shirt styles that work for the boat club aesthetic:
- Bear Grips Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee. Soft cotton tee, holds a logo cleanly, premium hand-feel. The default for casual club tees.
- Sport-Tek Mens Moisture-Wicking Tee. Lightweight performance tee for warm-weather sailing and post-race wear. Fast-drying, holds color.
- Next Level Premium CVC Jersey Tee. A premium tri-blend feel that members consistently prefer over a basic cotton tee for clubhouse use.
- Bella+Canvas Long Sleeve Cotton Shirt. Long-sleeve option for sun coverage on cruising days and cooler shoulder-season weekends.
- Hanes Premium Tall Tee. For taller members who need an extra two inches in body length.

Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.How Members Order from a Boat Club Store
The member flow is dead simple:
- Click the store link the club shared in the newsletter or member chat.
- Browse the available pieces. Pick a tee style, color, and size.
- Pay at checkout. Add a hat or polo to the cart if they want.
- Receive the order at their home address in about a week.
Every member runs their own checkout. The club is not in the loop on any individual order. The store hosts the catalog and handles fulfillment. The club director just sees the margin land in the dashboard.
Bulk Order Pricing vs No-Minimum Pricing
Bulk orders from local screen printers typically charge $12 to $18 per shirt at 24 to 36 piece minimums, plus a $35 to $70 setup fee per design. The math only works if every shirt sells. Any leftover sizes are dead inventory.
The Pro Shops base price on a cotton tee starts at $19.88 on the VIP plan, with no setup fee and no minimum. The club sets the retail price the members see. A common retail of $30 leaves about $10 of margin per shirt with zero inventory risk. If 12 members buy, the club earns $120. If 120 buy, the club earns $1,200. No leftover stock either way.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is there really no minimum order for boat club shirts?
Yes. One shirt is the minimum. A member can order a single tee with the club burgee and it ships the same way a 30-shirt order would. No batching required.
Can different members buy different sizes from the same store?
Yes. The store carries every available size in the catalog. Members select their own size at checkout. Each order is printed and shipped individually.
How much does a custom boat club t shirt cost?
The club sets the retail price. Most boat clubs price tees between $26 and $34, leaving $8 to $14 of margin per shirt after the base print cost. The club keeps the margin on every sale.
How long do custom boat club shirts take to arrive?
Most orders ship from US print facilities in 3 to 5 business days and arrive in about a week to the member address. Shipping is free.
