MBYC is a great club for boaters and people who like to keep busy! The boating/boating events are awesome. The club has outstation/reciprocals all throughout the San Juans and Canadian coast. You can keep very busy over the summer with the rendezvous schedule. Throughout the year the club offers parties for adults and families for all occasions. The people are VERY friendly and it has a down-to-earth and welcoming feel.

Great value for the money. Outstations from Gig Harbor to Salt Spring Island in Canada. Clubhouse on Meydenbauer Bay in Bellevue which is an easy walk to all of downtown Bellevue. Highly Recommended!

It had been said that the best accessory for your Boat is a yacht club. I totally agree. MBYC is an amazing resource with amazing members. The clubhouse is iconic and located in a primo spot. The outstations and club rendezvous will keep you busy all over Western Washington and British Columbia.

MBYC now has 9 outstations located from South Puget Sound to the Canadian Gulf Islands. Moorage is free to all regular members.

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.

We wish you good luck in your yacht club search, and hope that you were able to find this article helpful.

To give you an idea of what you could expect to pay for your yacht club membership, here are some numbers gathered from across the country:

What are the Cheapest Yacht Clubs?

The cheapest yacht clubs charge just under $1,000 per year for membership. While this does give you access to different types of experiences, you may be disappointed by the overall amenities.

Some yacht clubs are known for their extravagant country club styles that help you to embrace a particular lifestyle. They include Olympic-sized swimming pools, state-of-the-art tennis courts, and fine dining.

Everything has a beautiful waterfront view. It can feel like you are in the middle of an idyllic paradise without ever even having to leave the shore. If this is what you can gain from the most expensive yacht clubs, you should set your expectations much lower for the cheaper yacht clubs.

The cheaper yacht clubs lack the community aspect of these exclusive options. They feature dry slips and the occasional party, but not much more.

Some of them may have the feel of a county park with some picnic benches, outdoor grills, and a moderately sized swimming pool. Expect a much more casual atmosphere when you choose to go with a cheaper yacht club.

It is even possible that they are simply “paper yacht clubs” that do not even maintain a physical building of their own.

How Much Do the Most Expensive Yacht Clubs Cost to Join?

The most expensive yacht clubs can vary a great deal in price. Most of them will cost between $3,000 and $4,000 per year. However, you can certainly find more exclusive clubs that will cost above and beyond this.

Keep in mind that these more expensive clubs generally are not open to the public. They are offered by invitation only and you must have a member sponsor you to be considered for entrance.

When you are paying for a more expensive yacht club, you should make sure that you are really going to get your money’s worth. These expensive clubs promote a certain type of elegant lifestyle.

Make sure that you are planning to take advantage of all the amenities available from one of these clubs before you sink too much money into the membership fees. The social aspect of these expensive yacht clubs is extremely important.

If you plan to simply rent a boat from time to time, you might be able to go with a cheaper yacht club.

First and foremost, you get access to activities and cruises planned by board members. These might be various sailing activities, dinners, get-togethers, tennis matches, or other events that take up a lazy Sunday afternoon.

You also gain access to any amenities that surround the yacht club’s marina. For many programs, this means a fitness center, pool, and tennis courts. Several locations also offer fine dining, meeting rooms, and more.

It is like a private oasis where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the regular world. Time moves slowly when you’re enjoying the amenities here.

Many yacht clubs have programs that introduce children (and adults!) to sailing. Take classes to learn more about improving your technique, sailing safety, and other important aspects of life on the open water.

Access to the Fleet

The main reason why most people join yacht clubs is to be able to rent out boats instead of purchasing their own. Joining a yacht club may give you access to an entire fleet of yachts that can be reserved for a day or weeks at a time. Some yacht clubs allow you to rent boats for up to ten days at a time.

Others do not allow you to rent out ships. They are primarily geared toward individuals who already own a yacht or will own a yacht in the future. Make sure you know the difference in advance.

Are There any Additional Costs Besides the Membership Fees?

Unfortunately, the membership fees are not the only cost associated with joining a yacht club. Most of the clubs in the United States also have a one-time initial fee that tends to cost thousands of dollars. Many will range from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the location and the exclusivity of the yacht club.

This one-time fee should be the only additional money you pay except for fuel. Most yacht clubs do not cover the cost of the fuel used in the ship during your rental if renting is an option. Be prepared for what this could cost you.

If you cause damage to the ship, you can also expect some out-of-pocket costs. Insurance should cover the damage, but you will likely be asked to cover the cost of the deductible.

Be sure to inquire about how much you may be on the hook for before you sign up for any particular yacht club. Accidents can happen, even to the most experienced sailors. Make sure that you can afford the mishap in advance.

Is a Yacht Club Membership Right for You?

Understanding what the real cost of a yacht club membership is can be the first step toward determining if this is right for you. Many people love the luxuries available through the more expensive yacht clubs, but they may not be able to afford it. Consider what is most important in a club to you before deciding to sign on the dotted line for an annual membership.

Cost of Living in Novosibirsk, Russia

How much does it cost to live in novosibirsk.

Novosibirsk is a city in Russia , in Novosibirsk Oblast, Siberia, Russia.

Given that it has a population of over 1.6 million people, Novosibirsk has the title of the third most populous city in Russia.

It also has a status as the capital of Siberia and since it’s so, the prices are well under the standard (given the fact that Siberia is not exactly a beloved area with its freezing cold winters).

If you’re on a tight budget, Novosibirsk is definitely a city where you’ll get by without problems since it’s significantly cheaper.

RESTAURANTS

There are many good dining options in Novosibirsk, and many local chain restaurants. Lenin Square is a popular place where you’ll find all kinds of restaurants, some expensive and some where you’ll find delicious food for only 5$. Many cafes offer lunch specials on weekdays and as for the street food, it’s so good in this city that even the lowest quality street food looks and tastes great.

For food, people generally shop at nearby shops and get locally produced food except for some types of fruits and vegetables that aren’t grown locally. If you purchase imported goods all the time, your cost of groceries will be higher, of course. You can also find fresh produce and fish in open markets that pop up daily all throughout the city. It’s always fresh, and usually much cheaper than the produce in supermarkets.

TRANSPORTATION

All means of public transportation are well developed. Public transport in Novosibirsk includes a metro system in the city center, apart from all the usual: buses, trams, taxi, and trolleybuses. A ride on intra-city public transport costs 0.50$ or less. Taxis are also available, cheap and operate mostly through an on-call service.

UTILITIES (MONTHLY)

Utilities in Novosibirsk are very cheap, probably cheaper than in most other Russian cities. For an apartment of 85m2 all basic utilities, including electricity, gas, garbage services, heating and cooling cost only around 87$. Calls to landlines from mobile phones are more expensive than calls to other mobile phones. The coverage is good in the city center and the tariffs very cheap. Internet works great in most houses and cafes.

SPORTS & LEISURE

Since there is plenty of snow in Siberia during the winter, going skiing or ice skating could be a lot of fun in Novosibirsk. There are a lot of ice arenas in the city and some of them are even free of charge! If you’re a fan of exercising indoors, a membership in a gym or a fitness club will cost you around 26$ per month.

CLOTHING & SHOES

There are a lot of different markets where you can shop for clothes and shoes in the city but the most famous are Central Market and Baroholka. Though it may not be the absolute best place to buy clothes, what you see there – you’ll see nowhere in the world. There are also many shopping malls, like Aura Planeta Mall, Mega Novosibirsk with high prices. For instance, quality jeans will cost you over 70$, and sneakers are close to 80$.

RENT PER MONTH

The majority of the population lives in apartment buildings and private houses are rare in Novosibirsk. And even though this city isn’t exactly the most popular (just think of the winters), rent is still not a bargain. An apartment located in the city center will cost no less than 350$, while a one-bedroom flat somewhere further away can be found for 230$.

How Does the Average Person Spend Their Money in Novosibirsk?

The people of Novosibirsk spend the biggest part of their incomes on food and groceries – like in most countries around the world.

For the people living in Novosibirsk, the biggest financial burden, apart from food is definitely rent, since it’s not as cheap as you would expect in a Siberian city.

Restaurants are on the third place on the list of biggest expenses here – since many people eat there every day, three times a day.

The interesting thing here is that people spend more money on sports and leisure than on utilities – because they’re very cheap in Novosibirsk.

Average Costs Breakdown

Novosibirsk: average salary, minimum wage & mortgages.

The average salary in Novosibirsk is within the norm of all other cities in Russia, but taking into consideration the rents and the prices of utilities, transportation and other expenses, 450$ per month is not too high of a salary.

However, people living here are very optimistic, since there are many existing IT/other companies here, which means good chances to find a fine job.

Minimum wage in Novosibirsk is around 220$ which, although higher than in many other smaller cities of Russia, can definitely be a problem for the residents, since it’s barely enough to cover all basic needs.
