Guest Services

Visiting by Land:

Visitors from Reciprocal Clubs wishing to visit ILYC must provide ILYC with a letter of introduction from an Officer or Manager of the reciprocal Club directed to the attention of the ILYC Club Manager. Upon confirmation with the requesting Reciprocal Club, the ILYC Club Manager may approve the request. In this event, the Reciprocal Club member will have access to the Club facilities for a period of up to three (3) consecutive days. Prior to using the Club facilities, the Reciprocal Club member must check in at the Club Dock Office where they will be provided a Guest Card which they may use at the Club during this period. The reciprocal Club member may be allowed to attend events at the Club after all Member’s requests to attend that event have been satisfied and permission has been given by the Club Manager. The list of Reciprocal Clubs will be posted on the Club bulletin board. Continued status as a Reciprocal Club is at the discretion of the Flag Officers.
