You setup a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint from the clubhouse to the marina. Then outdoor access points (yes multiple) as required to cover the distances. You need to put up a "test" AP, then go into a boat and see what kind of signal a phone or tablet SENDs to the AP. Continue to move further away and repeat. That is the only way to determine how many APs will be required.Measuring off of Google Maps..looks closer to the 500 foot range. Would you still suggest point to point?
Look at ubiquiti equipment for ideas.
The 1000 ft range you will need to use point to point connection. Not likely going to work from each boat. One end being higher than the other generally does not matter as long as nothing blocks the signal.
Likely the best option would be to put a direcitonal antenna on some central pole or small tower at the marina to connect back tot he main location. Then put outdoor AP on this location in the marina to talkt to the end boats. what exact equipment you use will depend on how much speed you need and how spread out the boats are at the far end. You may have to use directional AP equipment on the remote end to get better coverage. You want to avoid having to use directional equipment on boats since they move around.

Looking closer, there is a light pole directly down from the clubhouse that you could run a hardwire to and mount an antenna/access point. How many access point do you think would be needed (ballpark guess) for a 200 foot x 300 foot area.You setup a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint from the clubhouse to the marina.

You may decide that wired infrastructure at the marina with a wireless link to the clubhouse may be the best implementation.
You are going to have to do something similar to my previous post -- a site survey. You do that by setting up a test access point and moving a device around to see how well it can connect. If you want coverage IN the boats you need much better signal strength.Looking closer, there is a light pole directly down from the clubhouse that you could run a hardwire to and mount an antenna/access point.
