Join us! We love life on the water – and our community continues to grow because we are not alone. We welcome you to explore RYC and the benefits of membership.
You do not need to be a boat owner or a boater to be a member. Many of our members joined the club as they wanted to enjoy all the fun and benefits of a boat without worrying about the cost or hassle. Here at RYC we offer several types of boats for members’ use plus our boat owning members love to have others join them for an afternoon or evening out on the water.
As a not-for-profit, member-owned club, our vibrant community celebrates tradition as it meets members’ diverse interests and changing needs. Membership privileges for our members and their guests include:
Clubhouse
- Enjoy the fun of our year round calendar of social events and activities both on and off the water creating lifetime traditions and memories. Our long standing, annual events include the Commodore's Ball, Breakfast with Santa, Breakfast with the Easter Bunny, Holiday Ball, Memorial Day, Basin Fest, Father's Day breakfast and brunch on Mother’s Day. We also host a variety of fun nights such as trivia night, Murder Mystery Night, Frank Sinatra Night, and Hawaiian Night.
- Host your next family or business events with special member pricing.
Amazing Dining
Our Club House is your new favorite spot to gather with family, friends and work colleagues. Have a special dietary need or request? Call ahead and let us know! Looking to take food on the go? We do that too! You can have your meals boxed to enjoy when you are on the water or at home.
Community

This includes the completed Membership Form, a letter of intent as well as the endorsement of two current members at RYC. As part of the process, our Membership Committee meets each month to review the prospect’s background including personal and boating experience.
