TYC Visiting Policies

WELCOME TO TRIDENT YACHT CLUB

The Board of Directors and Members of Trident Yacht Club extend a warm welcome to all visitors to Trident Yacht Club. We hope your stay with us will be pleasant and memorable.

Like other well-run clubs, we do have a few regulations regarding visits to TYC.

CHECKING IN TO THE CLUB

Visitors requiring guest dockage are requested to tie up at the main jetty and check in on arrival with either the Dock Person or Club Manager.

VISITING YACHT POLICY

The policy on the accommodation for visiting yachts is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The policy endeavours to be consistent with the traditional values and customs associated with yachting. At the same time it reflects the policies adopted by reciprocating clubs and other practical considerations peculiar to TYC. The current season policy is as follows:

Members from reciprocal clubs are allowed to stay overnight subject to space availability. Trident Yacht Club offers true reciprocity to other club members to a maximum of two days free of charge. For subsequent nights, the visitors are to be charged on a per foot basis, in the amount established by the Board. The privilege is for a maximum of 4 nights per thirty-day period of which no more than two are free.

Subject to the availability of space, an Associate Member will have the privilege to stay four consecutive days for free. At the discretion of the Board, and Subject to the availability of space, an Associate Member may be granted the privilege by the Board of bringing his vessel to the Club for a period of up to thirty (30) days at the same daily rate established by the Board for reciprocal boats.

Non-reciprocal guests of members may stay overnight for up to two nights per thirty-day period by paying the normal charge per foot indicated in 1 above. This fee will be charged to the host member’s account and is subject to space availability. The host member must be present while their guest stay at the club.

The reciprocal privileges of the Club extend only to visiting boats and their complement. If reciprocal visitors wish to invite guests to the Club, permission must be obtained in advance from the Vice-Commodore or the Club Manager.

There are no permanent visitor docks at TYC. The accommodation of visiting yachts is predicated on the availability of a dock suitable for the size of the yacht. In the event of return of the owner of the dock, the visitor shall be moved, if required. (Visitors are not permitted to leave their boat unattended without notification of the Dock Person/Club Manager. Visitors may not leave their boat unattended for any period longer than 12 hours.)
