Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in membership in the Ithaca Yacht Club. As you can see from our web site, the Yacht Club offers activities for all ages, superb facilities and unparalleled access to our beautiful Cayuga Lake. What cannot be conveyed is the unique relationship each member has with the Club. Most members do not have a "big boat" in the marina; many simply enjoy relaxing by the waterfront, and unwinding in the natural beauty and peacefulness of the lake. Others enjoy swimming, small craft boating, youth activities, and quality time with family and friends. These are just a few of the many things you may enjoy at the Yacht Club. Consider making the Ithaca Yacht Club your "cottage on the lake".

Location

The Ithaca Yacht Club is located 3 miles north of Cass Park on the west shore of Cayuga Lake.

Membership Dues

The full Dues for Senior Membership are $1,395.36 (includes 8% tax) per year. There is no food and beverage minimum nor any history of special assessments. An initiation fee equal to the annual senior dues is due upon membership. [THE INITIATION FEE REQUIREMENT IS WAIVED IN 2010]. This fee establishes a member equity stake in the club and may be earned through one of three options: 1) paid as a lump sum when joining, 2) paid in three annual payments of 40%, 40% and 20%, or 3) by being a member in good standing for 7 consecutive years. A member will not hold an equity stake in the Club until they have fulfilled one of these options, and any equity established is forfeited when membership lapses. We feel that membership in the Ithaca Yacht Club will provide you with the highest return on your leisure time dollar. You and your family will truly grow to love your "cottage on the lake".
