Member Handbook

Please review the Member Handbook before you head out on your first sail. In this handbook, we cover the ins and outs of being a member of the Club including reservation policies, cancellation policies, member programs, referral programs, No-Go-Zones, in-depth Deductible Waiver information and much, much more. It is important to know this information to ensure you’re staying safe while out on the water.

Skipper/Member Responsibilities

Before heading out on your first sail with the Club, prepare yourself by reviewing our Club Skipper/Member Responsibilities Checklist. Members are expected to follow the checklist items on every day sail and overnight charter.

BoatUS / Towing Membership Information

It is highly suggested by the Club for members to invest in a membership with BoatUS Towing. Having a membership with BoatUS will give you peace of mind when you’re out on the water. Towing can cost thousands and having a membership with BoatUS reduces the cost exponentially. The Club does not have a towing service available and once you leave the dock, you are the responsible skipper on board. Stay safe and prepared with a BoatUS membership.

SAILING BALLARD MEMBER CHARTERS

Set Sail Aboard S/V Zephyra
Exclusive Member Charter Opportunity

This summer, we’re thrilled to partner with Sailing Ballard to offer an unforgettable sailing experience just for SSC Members and their guests: a 2-hour charter aboard Zephyra, a striking 70’ Andrews yacht, departing from Shilshole Bay Marina.

These sails explore the beauty of Central Puget Sound—perfect for a family outing, a fun sail with friends, or just time on the water with fellow members. Zephyra is fast, sleek, and comfortable—an ideal mix of performance and style.

Only three charters available, thanks to Sailing Ballard’s generous offer—so space is limited!
