Membership Fees
Important Notice
Due to limited availability, there is currently a wait time of approximately one to two years for a slip, depending on the size of your boat. If you’d still like to become a member of the Collingwood Yacht Club, please submit an application for our non-member waitlist. There is a $300 fee that comes with this application, however, this fee will be applied to your membership dues when a slip becomes available. When a slip does become available, waitlist applicants will go through the same process as current members to become a full-member. Thank you for your understanding.
