Joining OYC is really easy! If you're ready now, you can just print a copy of the files (Membership Forms Link). Or you can come by Club office (open Tues-Sat 9-6 / Sunday 9-5) for a copy. The office staff will be glad to help or give you a tour.
Two current regular members must co-sign applications, and the staff will help with that, if you don't already know someone. Your application gets posted for 20 days and then brought to a vote at the next meeting of the Board of Directors. That's it!
Regular membership rates are as follows: administrative fee is $100, payable with the application, and the dues are $120 per month, Clubhouse maintenance fee $20 per month. There is a quarterly galley minimum of $75.
During your application process, the Club's General Manager will help you to plan on bringing your boat into our harbor, if applicable.
We hope to see your application soon!
