Joining OYC is really easy! If you're ready now, you can just print a copy of the files (PDF FILES ATTACHED BELOW). 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 answer any questions, give you a tour of the facility, and/or help you with the application process.

While two current regular members are needed to co-sign your form, if you don't already know someone at OYC, the staff will gladly find members willing to help out. Your application will be posted for the required 20 days and then brought to a vote at the next meeting of the Board of Directors. That's it!

Standard membership rates are as follows: initiation fee is $500, payable with the application, and the dues are $95 per month or $1,140 annually. There is a quarterly galley minimum of $75.

During your application process,the Club's General Manager, who is also the Harbor Master, will help you to plan on bringing your boat into our harbor, if applicable.

We hope to see your application soon!
