NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET MEMBERSHIP

Thank you for your interest in the Northeast Harbor Fleet (NEH Fleet) and in joining its membership.


As a NEH Fleet member, one may partake in and have access to the NEH Fleet’s activities and privileges.  These include participation in all NEH Fleet sponsored races and teas, access to the Northeast Harbor Sailing School boats to sail at your leisure, use of the launch service, mooring rentals as availability permits, and guest privileges for your summer visitors. 


The NEH Fleet offers a number of membership categories.  Please see below for the different levels of membership and the corresponding dues and initiation fee.  The initiation fee for Family and Individual Membership may be paid over two years.


Please note that Family Members of the NEH Fleet are welcome to take advantage of the classes offered through the Northeast Harbor Sailing School.  These classes are offered for both children and adults.  Family Members and their children may sign up for unlimited classes.  Grandchildren and guests are also welcome to participate for one week.


 To apply for membership, please either click this link or complete the application below along with two supporting letters from current NEH Fleet members.  The letters may be informal and submitted via email to nehfleet@gmail.com.  They should include details on how long the writer has known you and through what capacity: as a family member, friend, coworker, etc.  Supporting letters are only required of applicants for Individual or Family Membership


You are welcome to visit the NEH Fleet House at 48 South Shore Road in Northeast Harbor (parking is located on nearby Maple Lane) as well as meet our staff members during our operating hours in July and August.  I would be happy to try to meet you there as well.


If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I hope to see you at the NEH Fleet this summer.


Sincerely,


Alexandra C. Long, Membership Committee Chair
