Reciprocal Privileges

The Cottage Park Yacht Club is a registered member of The Yachting Club of America (YCA). YCA has reciprocal privilege agreements with nearly 800 Yacht Clubs throughout the United States. Reciprocity being defined as “A network of Yacht Clubs in agreement for the mutual exchange of privileges within that specific group of clubs.”

Although the extent of privileges may vary slightly, generally, an YCA yachtist can expect to be allowed to use all of the welcoming clubs’ available facilities and services, including short term berthing, meal and bar service, heads and showers, etc. Typically, a yachtist can stop at a Yacht Club along their trip, and if the club visited is a YCA member, they are granted access.

It is always prudent to call ahead to let them know you’re coming as well as to determine what services are available.

At right, are some of the many friends that have extended their privileges to the Officers and Members of the CPYC.
