Let’s do some math.

calculatorWhen we take the real costs of owning a boat and put it into a spreadsheet next to the cost of PYC Membership, there’s really no comparison. Here, we’ve taken a conservative look at owning a 35′ yacht in Newport Harbor vs. PYC Membership, and it’s blown their ships out of the water. What’s even more impressive, is that these figures are for only one boat, and as a PYC Member, you get three to choose from for the price of one.
