• MEMBERSHIP Requirements - Membership is restricted to 11+ Central Area Saudi Aramco employees or others defined as eligible under Saudi Aramco policies. Dependents cannot sponsor their own membership. Because facilities for off-shore cruisers are not available at other Saudi Aramco Yacht Clubs, 11+ Saudi Aramco employees residing outside of the Central Area, who own off-shore cruisers, may also become members of the HMYA. The member must own a seaworthy vessel which is currently registered with the Saudi Arabian Government and has been inspected by the appropriate Fleet Captain. Power Boats must have a minimum of 10 HP. The Membership Secretary will require sight of Government registration papers for all boats. Membership will be terminated should a member not own a currently registered boat over a 90-day period. No boat may be brought into or stored at the HMYA facility unless it has been registered with the Membership Secretary.  Any unregistered or un-stickered boats at the HMYA facility will be disposed of by the Officers. See the club rules for further details...
