MBYC is a very popular and suits boating enthusiasts who enjoy the hands on type of club where members contribute to many aspects of operations. All members are asked to give back to the club through work parties as well as small projects to maintain our compound, docks, and clubhouse. Because of our self help nature, Macassa members also enjoy some of the most economical membership and slip rates on the lake.
Membership rates for 2024:
Social membership – $75 +HST = $84.75. Social (also known as associate) members are entitled to enjoy MBYC’s facilities including the clubhouse and bar as well as attend any social events hosted by the club. Slips are not available to social members and this membership level has no reciprocal rights at other clubs. You can complete an application to become a social member at the bar. Note that new social members must be endorsed by a full member.
Full membership – $250 +HST = $282.50. Full members are entitled to enjoy all of MBYC’s facilities, have reciprocal rights at partner clubs, and have a summer wet slip and winter dry land storage. A full membership can only be granted to boat owners and is contingent on a slip being available at the time. Currently, MBYC does not have any slips available which means we are not accepting new full members at this time. To be put on a list to become a full member, you must be a current social member and complete a full member application at the bar. This application must be endorsed by two current full members to be accepted. Currently the wait list to become a full member is approximately 4-5 years.
