Dear Bayside Member,

Another Bayside season is upon us! Our recreation team is working hard to prepare the Point for all your favorite bay-side activities. We are thrilled to share that we have new additions to our watercraft fleet. New for 2021, you will see:

  • 14 new sit-on-top Ocean Kayaks, including 10 Scrambler singles and 4 Malibu doubles
  • 5 Evolve stand-up paddleboards with fiberglass soft-tops.
  • Over 20 band-new kayak seats
  • Over 20 brand-new kayak and stand-up paddles

Each season we upgrade the fleet to ensure your experience is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. In addition to the club’s kayak and stand-up paddleboard fleet, member storage slips will be offered through a lottery system once again.

2021 Kayak & Stand-Up Paddleboard Storage Slips

Registration for member kayak and stand-up paddle storage slips will begin on April 1st and close on April 30th. This registration applies to the following:

  • Renewal: You currently have a slip and wish to keep it.
  • Forfeit: You currently have a slip and wish to forfeit it.
  • New Slip: You do not have a slip and wish to enter the lottery.

COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION FORM HERE

Registration Process

Accurately complete and submit the registration form. Your submission will be confirmed via email. If you do not receive a confirmation after 48 hours, please submit your registration form again. We will hold the lottery drawing for any open kayak slips on approximately  May 3rd. If you are a lottery winner and have been awarded a slip we will contact you with a slip number and all the information you’ll need for storing your watercraft at the Point. Once the winners are drawn any remaining registrations will be kept on a waiting list for a slip which may become available during the next year. An important reminder, If you do follow the registration process and renew your slip with us by April 30, your slip will be forfeited and reassigned through the lottery system.

Storage Slip Guidelines

Due to the high demand for storage slips, we use the following guidelines:

  • Only one slip is awarded per membership.
  • Extended family members may not enter the lottery.
  • Specific rack or location requests are not available.
  • Each watercraft in the storage slips must have a valid Bayside registration sticker displayed. Bayside reserves the right to remove any watercraft without a valid sticker.
  • Available storage slips are assigned through the lottery system.

Additional Updates to Kayak Storage in 2022

Beginning in May of 2022, an annual storage fee of $100 will be implemented.  The year will run from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2023. More information will be communicated next spring (2022) regarding this change, however we wanted to make everyone aware of the anticipated change.

If you have any questions about the policies or registration process, please contact the recreation team at The Health & Aquatic Club at 302-988-2315 ext. 1 or [email protected].

Thank you,
Steve Telscher, Director of Recreation
