Dues are reviewed by the Board of Directors at least once per year. We strive to keep our initiation fee and yearly dues affordable while still offering the benefits of membership. Dues are currently structured by age and and function. We offer youth (AKA junior), intermediate, active, senior and non-resident membership classes. Of these classes, only active members have the privileges to vote and to hold office. Senior memberships are available only to current members who have reached 70 years of age and apply for Senior status.

To become a member, you need to fill out an application, and submit it through the website. We strongly recommend you elect Auto-Pay Enrollment option to simplify your initial fees and any future monthly charges you may make at the clubs. Our board welcomes new members each month, as we vote in new members at our board meetings.

Boat ownership is not required to become a member. All that is needed is an active interest in boating. We have members with varied interests, including social, cruising, racing and education. We think you’ll find that we are a diverse and welcoming club.

No, we welcome all non-resident members to apply.

An Active membership is for members age 30 or older for local residents. A Non-Resident Membership is for members age 30 or older where the applicant attests that they have a residency located more than 50 miles away which they occupy for more than six months per year.

Active and Non-Resident memberships pay a one-time initiation fee. Click on the link below to go to the application which includes current membership dues and initiation fees.

Junior Memberships: We offer two types of Junior memberships based on age. The first is a Junior membership for kids up to 18 years of age. The second is for young adults between 18 and 22 years of age, providing that they are full-time students. Junior members do not pay any initiation fees.
