Membership in CHYC has so many opportunities beyond just a dining experience. Not only do we have incredible food & service, but our members are so much a part of what makes our club so special. Having you join us would make it even better! We have a great boat Cruising schedule and an all new Sailing Program too. But having a boat and boating is not a requirement of being a member.

In fact, many of our members don't even own a boat! We offer groups for Newcomers, Singles, Mah Jongg, Bridge, Tennis, Kayaking, Book lovers and lots more. Many of the ladies in our club attend the monthly Harbor Lites group events. And our gentlemen are automatically a part of the Harbormasters group that meets monthly as well. All of these are available to every member of the club and included in your membership.
