GUIDELINES FOR GUESTS AT FUTURA YACHT CLUB

 

Welcome to FYC!!  All the owners hope that you will have an enjoyable vacation.  To help ensure that you and all others at FYC have safe and pleasant visits, we are providing all guests with these guidelines. If you are bringing a boat into FYC, please read the guidelines from the Marina Association.  Also, the Condo Association has a set of guidelines if you are staying in the high-rise building. These two sets of guidelines will be provided to those occupying a condo or bringing a boat.  More detailed and specific rules are available at www.futurayachtclub.net.

GENERAL

Futura Yacht Club is Not a Resort: Futura Yacht Club is a residential community of individually owned condominium homes and townhouses with grounds that are maintained by a homeowner’s association (HOA).  The HOA staff works for the association and does not work for, or report to guests.  If you have problem during your stay, please contact the home’s owner or agent for assistance.
