Dear Prospective Member,

         Thank you for considering the Marblehead Yacht Club for membership. The goal of the Flag Officers and Board of Directors is to provide the "Best Small Yacht Club" in New England.

         The Marblehead Yacht Club provides access to the harbor and a pleasant venue for our members to socialize and enjoy their mutual interest in boats and the sea. The club, which was founded in 1878 and has occupied its present building since that date, is the oldest yacht club in Marblehead.

         The Marblehead Yacht Club's annual dues is modest because many members volunteer their time and skills in the operation of the club. New members with or without boats are welcome. Membership is easy to establish- just fill out an application. There is no sponsor, interview, or other procedure required.

Membership includes:

• Launch service from early May to late October form our private dock to your yacht in an area from the Causeway to a boundary defined by Tucker’s Wharf to the Pleon Yacht Club. We have three launches that provide efficient access to member’s boats.
• Use of the clubhouse, deck, floats with water and electrical service. The club is available for personal functions of members- it is a wonderful place in which to celebrate a special event.
• Food service is available on Friday evenings, weekends and holidays from June to September. Our Galley has earned a reputation for good service at a reasonable price in a beautiful harbor front setting.
• Club events such as cookouts, a sailboat race, a fishing tournament and periodic social events are scheduled throughout the season.
• You can take advantage of our many reciprocal agreements with other yacht clubs when cruising or traveling. Typically, clubs with which we have reciprocal agreements provide our members use of their facilities at no charge.

The membership fee schedule is listed on our web site.

Sincerely,

Richard Steadman

Commodore
