Additionally, you will be able to participate in social events and meetings, and have the opportunity to vote on important matters, including budgets and to hold club office. If you own property in Yacht Haven Estates, you will also have the right to vote on certain matters that may impact the character or size of the club.

Being a member also includes certain obligations, such as paying annual dues, boat slip fees (if applicable), and volunteering to help operate the club. A one-time initiation fee is also required for new members.

The MVYC currently has a membership limit of 230 family memberships and there is a waiting list for new applicants. Applications may be submitted, but new members will not begin the interview process until they reach the top of the waiting list.

                                                      The Application Process

To apply for membership at the Mount Vernon Yacht Club, please complete, sign, and date the application form. You must identify two active members of the club to endorse your application*. 

Your application will then be posted on the club bulletin board for 30 days for members to provide input. Shortly after the 30-day posting period, you will be invited to meet with the Membership Committee. A brief biographical sketch is important for the Committee to make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees, so please be sure to include your reasons for seeking membership in the MVYC.

We encourage you to attend at least one club event prior to applying for membership, such as a TGIF Pot Luck or other club-sponsored activity. If you have any questions or would like more information about the club, feel free to contact the Membership Chair (membership@mvyc.net) for a guided tour.
