A reciprocal yacht club program is a partnership between two or more yacht clubs that allows members of one club to visit and use the facilities of the other club when they are traveling. This program provides a great opportunity for yacht club members to explore new destinations and meet fellow boaters while enjoying the same amenities they would have at their own club.
When a yacht club joins a reciprocal program, it agrees to allow members of partner clubs to visit and use its facilities, such as the clubhouse, docks, and other amenities. In return, members of the host club can also use the facilities of the visiting club when they are traveling to that area.
The Sea Cliff Yacht Club has reciprocal privilege agreements with many yacht clubs throughout Long Island Sound, the United States, Canada, and several other foreign countries. Although the extent of privileges may vary slightly, generally a Sea Cliff Yacht Club member can expect to be allowed to use all the welcoming club's available facilities and services, including short term berthing, meal and bar service, heads, and showers, etc. Some clubs charge for the first night's berthing, others do not, and it seldom matters whether you come by boat or car. It is always recommended to contact the Reciprocal Club to secure a reservation. Remember; you are expected to pay before you leave.
If you would like to visit a Club not listed on our standard reciprocal list, please contact the main office at office@seacliffyc.org to request that a formal letter announcing your planned visit be sent out. Many Clubs that do not normally reciprocate with Sea Cliff, will offer the use of their facilities by this method. If you are traveling abroad, it is often a friendly gesture to present a Club Burgee to the visited Club.
