Membership FAQ -

Boating Membership
The base membership at Centerboard is $1100 per year. In addition, you also pay the following fees:
$150 initiation fee – this is a one time charge the first year.
$70 mooring fee for Portland/South Portland residents.
$140 mooring fee for all other towns (this fee is set by the Harbor Commissioner). The mooring fees are paid yearly.
$200/yr to the building fund for the first 5 yrs and then $50/yr thereafter.
Moorings are purchased by the
new member and it is their responsibility to arrange placement and inspection
of the mooring. The Mooring Committee Chairman determines where in the
anchorage the mooring is to be placed. Frequently there is a mooring for
sale by an outgoing member. The moorings must be inspected by a certified
diver the first year and every other year thereafter before you are allowed to
put a boat on the mooring.
We do not store boats at
the club. Members must arrange launching and hauling of their boats.
We do not allow boating
partnerships. You must be the sole owner of the boat and it must be
registered in your name.
We have available space for
dinghy storage during the summer, both in the water or on a float rack.
There is an additional charge of $25 for this.
Launch service is included
in your membership dues.
Sponsors
If you don’t know anyone at
the club to sponsor you, ask for a Membership Roster. There may be
someone that belongs that you do know. You are welcome to stop by the club and
say hello. I will be glad to meet you and show you around.
Social Membership
A social membership is $125
per year, plus a $35 initiation fee the first year. This entitles you to
use the landside of the club only. A social member may not use the
waterside, including launching of boats, use of club boats, or floats.
You may attend meetings and social activities at the club.
