We are pleased that you are interested in membership in Viking Yacht Club, a cruising club made up of both sailboat and powerboat owners. Formed in 1959, Viking Yacht Club, although small in comparison with some other clubs in the area, enjoys name familiarity throughout Puget Sound. We have reciprocal privileges with many other yacht clubs in Puget Sound and Canada. Club cruises are scheduled throughout the year.
To apply for membership is simple:
- Complete an application and include the member who is sponsoring you. (Usually the member who first introduced you to the club or Membership Chairperson)
- Pay the approximately $200.00 (Annual Dues are $150.00)
- Includes initiation costs, a ticket to the Commodore’s Ball for one person, paid in advance, and the annual dues prorated in advance per month through October 21.
NOTE: Your cost will be dependent on the month you actually become a member, which will be indicated on your application. Upon receiving your application and check, the Viking Board will review it and publicize your intentions in the LUR, our club newsletter. Then with our mutual acceptance, you shall be sworn in as new Viking member(s) at the next scheduled meeting.
We are looking forward to having you join us. Please call the Membership Chairperson for more information about the club. We’d love to meet you!
