Quiet hours are from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.
Dress code: SIYC is a casual club, but members, their guests, and our transient visitors are required to wear shoes and shirts in the clubhouse.
Pets: Although our club is full of pet-lovers, no pets are allowed in the SIYC clubhouse or in bathhouse facilities. On club grounds, pets must be under their owners' control, either under voice command or on a leash. Aggressive dogs must be leashed. As required by Calvert County, pets must be leashed when they leave the club's private property. Please clean up after your pet during your stay. Across the street from the club, the Solomons boardwalk has pet “deposit” stations with free bags, and the boardwalk water fountains include pet watering bowls.
Service animals: In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service animals are allowed in the SIYC clubhouse and bathhouse. Under the ADA, service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.
- Service dogs are working animals, not pets.
- Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
- A service dog must be housebroken and under the control of its handler.
- Club staff or officers may only ask whether the dog is a service animal required because of a disability and what work or task has the dog been trained to perform.
- Certificates, special IDs or vests are not required for the dog. Service dogs are not allowed in the Club’s kitchen and food preparation areas.
Smoking: Our clubhouse and bathhouse are smoke-free. Smoking is allowed on the patio when open, and there is a cigarette butt receptacle on the patio.
Trash: Trash disposal is available in the dumpster at the front of the bathhouse. To discourage insects and animals from dumpster-diving, please bag your trash before depositing it in the dumpster and close the dumpster doors after discarding your trash.
Ice: SIYC can provide ice cubes for our transient boaters; bring your own bag or cooler. The nearest location to purchase bagged ice is Bunky’s, about one block northwest of the club (as you leave the club parking lot, turn right).
Fuel: Solomons Yachting Center, directly across from SIYC's north pier, and Spring Cove Marina, 0.9nm up Back Creek from our club, sell fuel. Both marinas also offer pump out services.
Rules of conduct: We ask that all of our visitors treat our members, guests, and staff with courtesy and respect in the clubhouse, on club property, and at all club events. Remember the Golden Rule and treat others as you would wish to be treated at all times.
