Information about joining Brockport Yacht Club
Brockport Yacht Club is a boating club, with a focus on sailing. It has always been a “Do It Yourself” organization, with the members contributing time, knowledge, talents, and sometimes providing personal resources to keep the club going since 1904.

- A personal key giving you access to grounds, club house, and use of a private lakefront property

The club has a membership cap at 100. Individuals interested in membership when we have reached our cap are put on a waiting list. Those on a waiting list can still participate in club activities as guest of a member, but have no club key nor voting rights.
The fact that there are more membership spots than we have boat slips means that a new member with a boat may not immediately get a boat slip. On the other hand, not owning a boat should not prevent you from joining our boat club. Many “boatless” members still get enjoyment of the site and people, and one can still get boat time on the water by crewing for others, or using the club sailboat.
Because members contribute to the running and maintenance of the club, our membership dues are one of the lowest on the lake.
The Brockport Yacht Club is a self sustaining, not-for-profit organization, whose operational expenses are shared equally by all members. Members are expected to pay all dues and assessments promptly when due.
