We're delighted you're interested in The Morro Bay Yacht Club!

Our Yacht Club is small and unique. We are known throughout the world as the friendliest and most helpful yacht club on the west coast. So, if you're boating and don't want to wear a blazer, ascot, and white pants all the time -- okay, maybe once a year on Opening Day -- then come join our friendly group at the Morro Bay Yacht Club.  

The Morro Bay Yacht Club welcomes visitors and we want you to get to know us before you consider applying for membership.
       
We have Happy Hour every Friday evening from 6 p.m. to about 7:30 p.m. (hosted by different members each week) and Hamburger Night every Wednesday throughout the summer.

Bay and ocean races twice a month or more, usually on weekend days; fun floats and miscellaneous activities throughout the year. It's a great way to get to know the club members.
       
We are a totally volunteer club, hiring only janitorial services. No white tie and tails. Applicants are asked to participate in at least four activities (e.g., race meeting, work day, fun float, galley hop) and to meet with the Membership Committee members prior to consideration by the board.
 
Membership in our club is easy and very affordable, and we encourage applicants to be boat owners. Because we are a totally volunteer club, activities are done with the volunteer labor of club members. We can offer you a membership  with a one-time only initiation fee of $750.00 per family, and annual dues of only $225.00 per year. The annual dues are based upon the calendar year and are prorated depending upon when new members join.

Junior (up to age 21) membership is $50.00 by Junior Advisor recommendation and board acceptance.

You are invited to get to know us, our philosophy, our enthusiasm, and our commitment to boating. Please join us on a weekend day race or for any of our social activities.  

I hope we have answered most of your questions; if not, you can ask for a member of the membership committee (John Schmidt, Pat Rygh, John Bodine, Jane Simonson, Lynn Meissen, ) at any Friday-night happy hour.
