Yacht Club

The Charlevoix Shore Estates Association (CSEA) Yacht Club is a self-governed committee of Association members who are granted boatlift space at Yachtsman’s Park. It operates under the oversight of the CSEA Board of Directors and is responsible for the maintenance, repair, and improvement of the dock and boat lift area. Membership is non-transferable, limited to property owners who actively use their dwellings (not renters), and is governed by strict eligibility and usage rules. The Yacht Club is financially self-sufficient and maintains its own leadership, including a Commodore and Vice-Commodore, elected biennially by its members.

The CSEA Yacht Club, located within Yachtsman’s Park, offers dockage and boat lift space exclusively for qualifying Association members who own and actively use a dwelling in Charlevoix Shore Estates. These facilities are maintained by the Yacht Club committee and include:

• Boat docks and lifts for members in good standing, managed under strict eligibility rules.
• A designated boat ramp for launching and retrieving watercraft, with temporary tie-up allowed for up to 30 minutes.
• Seasonal beaching areas for sailboats, rowboats, or paddle-powered craft—limited to one per qualifying membership.
• A swim area and raft, though motorized watercraft like Jet Skis are prohibited from entering this zone.
• A waiting list system for both dockage and beaching, ensuring fair access to limited space.

Permanent moorings or anchorages are not allowed, and all facilities are governed by detailed usage rules to preserve safety, fairness, and the private nature of the park. Let me know if you'd like a visual summary or a breakdown of eligibility requirements.

To qualify for the CSEA Yacht Club waiting list, a member must meet the following criteria:

• Own a dwelling within Charlevoix Shore Estates and actively use it (not rent it out).
• Be in good standing, meaning all Association dues, assessments, and boater fees must be fully paid.
• Not own a lakefront lot, as those members are excluded from dockage and beaching privileges at Yachtsman’s Park.
• Submit a written request to the Board of Directors to be added to the waiting list. The date of receipt determines the member’s position on the list.
• Own the watercraft and any associated boat lift personally—subleasing or shared use is not allowed.

Once on the list, assignments are made in order of request as space becomes available.
