As a Social Member, you’re invited to enjoy everything our club has to offer. Spend relaxing afternoons on the club grounds, fire up the BBQ with friends and family, or unwind in the clubhouse. It’s a wonderful way to connect with our community, make new friends, and enjoy your summer.

  • Bring family and friends to visit the club

  • Enjoy our scenic grounds and waterfront views

  • Use the clubhouse and BBQ facilities

  • Attend exciting social events and gatherings throughout the season

By Checking the Acknowledge Box, the applicant understands that:

 

This is a limited offer that may be revoked at any time. The applicant shall abide by the rules of the club existing and instituted.

Projects &  Committees

I understand that FBYC is a working club and in an attempt to maintain low expense levels, each Yachting, Water, and Associate Member is required to give volunteer labour hours (amount TBD annually by the board of directors) to the Club each year. A member may opt to pay for the hours in lieu of working them. All assigned hours and payments for unfulfilled hours must be completed by December 31. The hourly rate and the number of required hours will be established by the Board of Directors during the annual budget process. Once a Member has attained the age of 75 years, volunteer labour hours will become elective. These Members are encouraged to participate at their discretion but will not be assessed a dollar amount for any shortfall.

 

Liability Insurance

Prospective members are reminded that evidence of vessel insurance in the amount of $2,000,000 must be presented to the Membership committee prior to the acceptance of their application for membership, and that such insurance coverage must be maintained on my vessel while I am a member of the Club.

 

Statement of Membership Liability Waiver               

In accordance with the Club's Constitution, Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club ("Club") shall not be liable for any damages arising from personal injury, property loss or damage, sustained by the Member in attending in the Club, participating in Club activities and/or using Club facilities.
