Hillarys Yacht Club is delighted to welcome new members and pen holders to our community.

Before we can start the pen accommodation process, a membership application form must be submitted to become a full financial HYC member.

HYC has a limited number of available annual rental pens. Please contact our Membership & Moorings Officer for further information on [email protected].

Our pen availability is constantly changing, and we, therefore, have an active Waitlist for current members and an Enquiry List for non-members in place.

It is important to know the Overall Length of your vessel before we can determine a suitable size pen for you. Please note that your Overall Length can differ from your Registered Length.

Hillarys Yacht Club prides itself on having a high standard of boat safety and adherence to safe operating practices. In this regard, a marina compliance inspection of every vessel located within the Club is required within 30 days of occupying a pen. Re-certification is required every five years. A Marina Facilities Section Committee member carries out inspections in the presence of the boat owner and cover aspects such as mooring lines, power supply, batteries, gas connections/detectors, fuel lines and safety equipment.

A marina compliance inspection and any necessary works required must be completed within 30 days of the boat occupying the pen. Overdue fees apply for late completion.

Before pen occupancy and a safety inspection, the following documents are required to be lodged:

• Boat Particulars Form
• Current Vessel Registration
• Current Insurance with at least $10M public liability
• Electrical compliance certification from a licensed electrician or the vessel’s manufacturer stating that the vessel meets Australian Standards AS 3000 & 3004
• Gas compliance certification completed by a licensed installer following the Office of Energy gas regulations.

Compliance Certification provided in previous years shall be accepted where no subsequent gas or electrical change or modification require a vessel to be reassessed for compliance to the Department of Energy and Safety Regulations as supported by these Bylaws. Electrical and Gas Compliance Certifications shall be valid for up to 5 years.

A Marina Facilities Section Committee member will arrange a mutually suitable time for an inspection once the above documents have been lodged with the Club office. Upon completion of a satisfactory inspection, the vessel owner will be issued with a compliance sticker to be displayed in a prominent position on the vessel.

Once the requested documents have been supplied, an annual pen rental agreement will be prepared and sent out for signing.
