Southport Yacht Club

A vibrant boating focused community enjoying everything the cape fear region has to offer..

Founded in 2014, Southport Yacht Club (SYC) is focused on boating! Our goal is to spend time off the dock and on the water in the North Carolina Cape Fear Region.  Our club is a great place to learn about the regional waters, acquire additional boating skills, develop friendships, and feel part of a community.  The club is 100% percent volunteer based and our members organize sailboat races/regattas, cruises, educational seminars, and super fun events throughout the year.

Our goal for this website is to provide you a snapshot of everything SYC has to offer.  For our members this site has a Member’s Only section where you can learn about upcoming events and shop our  “Ship’s Store”.   If you are a prospective member or just interested in the club, we hope you spend time on our website to see what we are all about!

Interested in Joining?

The Southport Yacht Club is interested in prospective members of solid character that share a common interest in boating, sailing, fishing, and all things social, both on and off the water.

How Much is a Yacht Club Membership? 3 Common Price Ranges

The cost of an annual yacht club membership can vary widely depending on several factors, such as the location of the club, the amenities offered, the exclusivity of the membership, and the size of the yacht being accommodated. We’ve compiled a set of guidelines below to help you estimate what you can expect to pay for an annual yacht club membership.

Local or Less Exclusive Yacht Clubs

These clubs might offer basic amenities such as docking facilities, a clubhouse, and some social events. Annual fees can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Membership fees could be as low as $500 to $2,000 per year.

Mid-Range Yacht Clubs:

These clubs may offer more extensive amenities, including high-quality dining facilities, repair and maintenance services, fitness centers, and a busy calendar of social and boating activities. Annual fees for these clubs can range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more.

Prestigious or Exclusive Yacht Clubs

The most exclusive yacht clubs, often located in prime locations with extensive facilities and services, can have annual membership fees that are significantly higher. These can range from $10,000 to $30,000 or more per year, with some of the most elite clubs costing even more. Additionally, these clubs might have initiation fees that can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It’s also important to note that many yacht clubs have additional costs beyond the annual membership dues. These can include initiation fees for new members, monthly minimum spending requirements at the club’s facilities, and additional fees for docking, storage, and maintenance services.

Additional Considerations

Some yacht clubs require yacht ownership as a prerequisite before being accepted into the club. Hence, while the yacht club membership itself might only be between $500 and $2,000, the true price of a yacht club membership might be tied to the cost of ownership of your yacht as well.

Bottom Line: Simply Ask If Interested

If you’re interested in joining a yacht club, make a list of yacht clubs that you might be interested in joining, and reach out to them via email or phone to get the most accurate and up-to-date information. Most yacht club members are quite friendly and are willing to help those who are interested in joining.

July 20, 2024 Five Islands Ice Cream Race for Turnabouts  

Second Annual Race

 I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream! For at least 100 years one of the classic SYC afternoon turnabout sails has been to cross the Sheepscot to Five Islands, buy some ice cream, and then return. It’s a “Race/Sail” because not only are racers welcome, but those who just want to participate in a supervised turnabout sail to Five Islands are also welcome. Don’t worry about the wind disappearing and leaving you stranded on the other side of the Sheepscot because we will have SYC patrol boats on hand to tow you back to Cozy Harbor if the wind should disappear (or become too strong). Two special rules for this event: 1) Each boat must have two people on board. The reason for this is that frequently the Five Island docks get crowded. So for this event, when turnabouts get to Five Islands they will drop off one person to be the ice cream buyer while the other person sails around in the harbor waiting for the ice cream buyer to return to the dock. Boats picking up a returning ice cream buyer will have priority over boats dropping off an ice cream buyer. 2) No running on the Five Islands docks. Participants are responsible for paying for their own ice cream. Current ice cream prices run from $3 for a small cone/cup to $7 for a pint. The official starting time and location is 1:00 at the Cedarbush red nun outside Cozy Harbor. If you don’t have your own turnabout and wish to participate, please talk to Shannon Killian to borrow a boat.
