VISITING YACHT POLICY

The Hudson Yacht Club welcomes all visiting boaters from bona fide yacht clubs to tie up and use our facilities. The clubs recognized are those who are members of the C.Y.A., F.V.Q. or U.S. SAILING.

Upon arrival, visitors are requested to register at the Club office. Should the office be closed, please register at the bar. If the bar is closed, please identify yourself at the main gate and register at the office the following morning. A visitor's pass will be issued to you then.

Identification is required to confirm membership at a reciprocating club. This can be in the form of the club card or a letter of introduction from the Club Manager.

RECIPROCAL CLUB MEMBERS:

For members of reciprocating yacht clubs, the first night is free; for subsequent nights (up to 7 consecutive nights) the charge is $1.40 per linear foot (+taxes).

Visitors from reciprocating clubs are limited to two free nights per season (on two different visits).

NON-RECIPROCAL CLUB MEMBERS:

Visitors from non-reciprocating clubs will be charged $1.70 per linear foot (+taxes) for the night.

Visitors from non-reciprocating clubs are limited to only two one-night visits per season.

Your cooperation in abiding by the Club rules is appreciated. Please follow all directions of the club staff.

DOCKING

An H.Y.C. staff member will direct you to an open berth if there is one available. If one is not available, you will be required to tie-up on the outside of the concrete “L” Pier.
