Membership Application
The annual membership dues are $400; BIAC charges separately for the following:
- using BIAC shells ($300)
- using BIAC OCs and surfskis ($100); use of SUPs and kayaks is included in membership dues
- renting storage racks for a member's personal watercraft ($300 annually for a 1x/2x shell; $100 for a kayak, SUP or surfski), subject to availability; for more information contact our Yardmaster)
- coaching fees for rowing team members (collected separately)

As a nonprofit volunteer organization, BIAC depends on the contributions of time and energy from its members to maintain boats and the club premises. All annual adult memberships require a volunteer commitment of 12 hours per year. Members who cannot make this commitment can opt out up front by paying an additional annual fee of $250. You must indicate your preference on the Membership Application. Note that this requirement applies only to Annual Memberships. For more information on volunteering at BIAC, click here.
Masters can select a summer membership, which is valid from May 1 through August 30. Both memberships include the use of BIAC equipment. College students attending school away from the area may select a "College Break" membership which includes summer breaks as well as other breaks throughout the year.
Please note that, per BIAC's By-Laws, membership dues are not refundable.
