 Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Why do I need a boat for membership?
    • The club is dedicated to promoting boating and sailing activities in the region.  Beach access and facilities are already available at the public beach immediately next to the club beach. See club rules for more details....
  • How do I get a boat?
    • Boats are normally in high demand in the region.  The online classified listing provided by Community Services is the most common method for finding boats that are available.  The club does not provide or manage the sale of boats which is typically handled by the owner themselves.
  • What are the requirements for membership?
    • A seaworthy boat and residing in Dhahran are the most common requirements for membership.  Offshore fleet owners may reside in outside of Dhahran.  All membership requests are subject to review and approval by the membership committee and available space within the fleet, which may delay your joining the club until a space becomes available.  The membership secretary will notify you of the status of the your application as it is processed.  See membership section for more details....
  • Why do I need a Q form (boat inspection) to renew my membership?
    • Having a seaworthy boat is a condition of membership and a government requirement of all boats operated from our facility. In addition, it makes sense that your boat meet minimum safety requirements. Each Fleet Captain performs the inspection for his fleet members which normally requires the boat to be setup in ready to set sail so that all gear can be inspected and verified it is in good condition.  Normally the inspection requires less than 30 minutes to perform.
  • How many guests can I bring to the beach?

    • You are allowed to bring 6 adults on Thursdays and normal weekdays (Sat-Wed), 4 adults on Fridays and special event days.  There is no limit on children on any day. See club rules for more details....
  • I want to bring more than the limit of guests?

    • There is no rule allowing exceptions, however if you have a valid reason to request an exception you may send a request to the board at least a month in advance of the event for consideration.  Please send the request to the safety and rules committee chairperson.
  • Can I bring a jet ski or wave runner to the club?
    • No; Jet skis and Wave Runners are not allowed due to the safety issues.  They can not be used as a boat to qualify for membership.
