To begin the membership process:

Review the Fees Document and contact New Member Support, Laura Ritter, for instructions on where to send the membership application documents and how to provide a check for $1,145.  Membership costs include an initial one-time assessment, plus payment of the first recurring quarterly fees.   In addition to the general club fees totaling $345.00 per quarter, moorage and related utilities fees range from $156 to $294 per quarter once moorage is obtained.

NOTE: 
Membership in the Club shall be open to one or two people living in a single household, at least 21 years of age who are current boat owners with an active interest in boating. For the purposes of Membership, a “boat” is defined as being of at least 15 feet in length and registered. Separate households with a joint ownership arrangement must each apply for, and separately maintain membership in the Club. Membership requires approval of the Board.

Moorage is only available to members.  If a member sells a boat in the moorage to a non-member, the non-member owner must usually remove the boat from the moorage within 10 days of purchase.  The boat may be assigned a slip in the moorage only after the new owner is sworn in as a member and has met all other requirements (e.g. provided proof of insurance, signed a moorage agreement, etc.).
