Excerpts from SIYC Pier Rules & Regulations (Revised February 2025)

1 Transients must be affiliated with a Yacht Club which accepts transient visits from SIYC boats or has been extended Club privileges by the Commodore or Board, such as members of America's Great Loop Cruisers Association (AGLCA) and Marine Trawlers Owners Association (MOTA). Available slips or pier space may be obtained at a rate of $2.00 per foot per day, to include water, plus a charge of $8 per day for a single per 30-amp electrical connection or $15 per day for dual 30-amp or for a single 50-amp connection. The Pier Chairman is authorized to give a discount of 10 to 40% for extended stay transients (one week to 28 days respectively). Refunds are not granted for unused days. Stays of greater than 28 days are not allowed. Please contact the Pier Chairman or Fleet Captain for details and pricing.  Each transient captain is required to fill out a "Transient Log and Payment Record", available in the Captain's Lounge. Each transient Captain is entitled to two (2) drinks at no additional charge. U.S. Government vessels will be accommodated at no charge when space is available.

2 Transients affiliated with a Yacht Club or those that have been extended Club privileges by the Commodore or Board may tie their boats at the SIYC pier for a short time (not to exceed four hours) only if adequate personnel remain on the premises in case their boat must be moved.

3 Dockside connections (electrical pigtails and water hoses) and adequate mooring lines will be provided by users.  Lines, power cords and water hoses will not extend across the pier or finger piers.  Electrical lines must be of proper marine standard and correct polarity.  Dockside storage boxes are not allowed.  If a power cord is left at the slip when the boat will be gone for any period of time, it must be disconnected from the electrical outlet.

4 Water for cooling boat air conditioners will not be drawn from the pier water spigots.

5 Open fires for cooking are not permitted on the pier or aboard boats secured to the pier. There is a Weber Gas Grill provided outside the bathhouse for grilling.  

6 All transients must have minimum liability insurance coverage of at least $300k. Transients will be asked to certify on the “Transient Log and Payment Record” form that they have the required insurance and should be prepared to provide proof on request.

7 QUIET HOURS will be observed nightly from 2200 (10:00 PM) to 0800 (08:00 AM).
