With adequate notice, the Solomons Island Yacht Club will accommodate

Excerpts from SIYC Pier Rules & Regulations
Revised February 2024

1 Transients must be affiliated with a Yacht Club which accepts transient visits from
SIYC boats or has been extended Club privileges by the Commodore or Board, such as
members of America's Great Loop Cruisers Association (AGLCA) and Marine Trawlers
Owners Association (MOTA).   Available slips or pier space may be obtained at a rate of
$1.85 per foot per day, to include water, plus a charge of $8 per day for a single per 30-amp
electrical connection or $15 per day for dual 30-amp or for a single 50-amp connection.  
The Pier Chairman is authorized to give a discount of 20 to 40% for extended stay transients
(one week to one month respectively).  For stays of more than one month, a special rate is
available.  Please contact the Pier Chairman or Fleet Captain for details and pricing.  Each
transient captain is required to fill out a "Transient Log and Payment Record", available in
the Captain's Lounge.  Each transient Captain is entitled to two (2) drinks at no additional
charge.  U.S. Government vessels will be accommodated at no charge when space is
available.

2 Transients affiliated with a Yacht Club or those that have been extended Club
privileges by the Commodore or Board may tie their boats at the SIYC pier for a short time
(not to exceed four hours) only if adequate personnel remain on the premises in case their
boat must be moved.

3 Dockside connections (electrical pigtails and water hoses) and adequate mooring
lines will be provided by users.  Lines, power cords and water hoses will not extend across
the pier or finger piers.  Electrical lines must be of proper marine standard and correct
polarity.  Dockside storage boxes are not allowed.  If a power cord is left at the slip when the
boat will be gone for any period of time, it must be disconnected from the electrical outlet.

4 Water for cooling boat air conditioners will not be drawn from the pier water spigots.

5 Open fires for cooking are not permitted on the pier or aboard boats secured to the
pier.

6 All transients must have minimum liability insurance coverage of at least
$300k. Transients will be asked to certify on the “Transient Log and Payment Record” form
that they have the required insurance and should be prepared to provide proof on request.

7 Quiet Hours will be observed nightly from 2200 (10:00 PM) to 0800 (08:00 AM).
