ESTABLISHED 1947

CORAL RIDGE YACHT CLUB

Mission Statement The mission of Coral Ridge Yacht Club is to provide our diverse membership a high-quality private club experience, rich with opportunities to engage in social, dining, yachting, and recreational activities, distinguished by modern amenities in a friendly, welcoming environment.

HOURS OF OPERATION THE POINTE Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Sunday Brunch

CLOSED CLOSED 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM 10:30 AM - 8:00 PM 10:30 AM - 2:00 PM

HAPPY HOUR Wednesday - Saturday 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM *Burgee Bar - Adults only after 4 PM

FOOD & BEVERAGE One of the Food & Beverage Team’s ongoing goals is to deliver outstanding service. We kindly ask that if you wish to have cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before dinner, please plan to arrive 30–40 minutes earlier than your requested reservation time. This allows the team to offer a smooth evening to all Members and guests and lets the staff in both the front and back of the house properly prepare. We appreciate and will always try to accommodate our walk-in guests as best we can in a timely manner; however, priority will always be given to those who make reservations and those who call ahead to ask about seating availability. Just as great restaurants do, we strive to pace our Members and guests for a better flow of service. This improves the timing in the kitchen and minimizes delays. We strive to exceed your expectations and appreciate your support.

SERVICE CHARGE REMINDER The Club’s service charge is 20%; however, for extraordinary service, you may add an additional tip under the “Extra Tip” category. Bon Appétit!

Commodore’s Corner Dear Members and Friends of Coral Ridge Yacht Club, I am not sure where the summer went. It feels like a few weeks ago we were wrapping up the season, and here we are already talking about football. Many of you have spent these past months traveling, visiting family, or simply escaping the Florida heat, and I hope your summer was everything you hoped it would be and, above all, safe. What I have enjoyed most these past couple of weeks is watching the Club fill back up. There is nothing quite like walking in and running into a fellow member you have not seen since June, then catching up over dinner or a drink at the Burgee Bar. The Club is at its best when it is busy, and it is getting busy again.

Kevin A. Cassell Commodore

If you have not looked at the calendar lately, now is the time. Pull it up, mark the dates that matter to you, and call ahead for reservations. The fall fills up faster than most people expect. Bring your family, invite your friends, and make a night of it. We close out the month on Saturday, August 29, with our Yacht Rock Dinner & Dance Party. A chef-inspired dinner, the High Tide Band, and a night of Michael McDonald, Hall & Oates, and Christopher Cross. Break out the linen and the boat shoes, call for your reservations, and bring a few friends along. And I will admit I am counting the days until football is back. There is no better place to enjoy a Fall Sunday than outside at The Pointe. The games are on, the bar is full, and the afternoon has a way of getting away from you in the best way in an atmosphere that unlike the Dolphins, can’t be beat. Before I close, a word about our staff. Summer is the season when a club is quietest out front and hardest working behind the scenes, and Jay and his team kept this place running beautifully straight through it. When you see them this month, please thank our team members for all their efforts getting us ready for season. Betsy and I look forward to seeing more of you around the Club throughout August. Enjoy these last few weeks of summer, and we will see you at the party. On Deck,

Kevin A. Cassell Kevin A. Cassell Commodore, Coral Ridge Yacht Club

From General Manager Dear Yacht Club Members, July was truly a month to remember at Coral Ridge Yacht Club. We started the month with a memorable 250th Fourth of July Celebration, bringing members together for an incredible day of celebration, great food, and patriotic spirit. Throughout the month, we continued creating opportunities for connection with member dinners, educational navigation seminars, and the excitement of the FIFA season. Congratulations to Spain on their welldeserved victory! Jay Butler, CCM General Manager

As we close out another successful summer at Coral Ridge, we are excited to welcome an actionpacked August filled with exceptional events, memorable experiences, and opportunities to connect with fellow members.

The excitement begins with the Auxiliary’s Design & Spaces on August 12th, featuring a special guest presentation from fellow member Neill C. Stouffer, who will share the latest trends and inspiration in interior design. Following this event, members will gather for Cruisers Dinner on August 13th, welcoming all cruisers, whether by sea or land, to share stories and reconnect after their summer adventures. One of the month’s most anticipated events arrives on August 20th with The Crane Assembly Wine Dinner, featuring wines from The Crane Assembly in Napa Valley, crafted from grapes grown on the Certified Historic G.B. Crane Vineyard and presented by vineyard proprietors Vail Jr. and Leslie Miller. The celebrations continue with Lobster Night on August 22nd, a beloved Club event that always brings members together for an unforgettable dining experience. The following day, join us for End of Summer Sunday Funday on August 23rd as we celebrate the final days of summer and welcome the upcoming fall season. The Auxiliary continues the excitement with Beauty Trends & Techniques on August 27th, offering members the opportunity to learn new tips, discover seasonal trends, and enjoy another engaging member experience. We close out August with Yacht Rock Night on August 29th, an unforgettable evening featuring coastal flavors, signature cocktails, and live music from the High Tide Band, bringing your favorite Yacht Rock classics to life.Thank you for being part of the Coral Ridge Yacht Club family. We are grateful for another incredible summer and look forward to continuing to create memorable experiences, meaningful connections, and lasting traditions together. We hope to see you throughout August as we enjoy everything our Club has to offer.

Social Committee As summer continues to sizzle, many of us are staying cool in the pool, the air-conditioned gym, or enjoying ice-cold libations (and breezes) at the Pointe! The August fun continues with Guys Night, the Crane Assembly Wine Dinner, Lobster Night, and of course, the Yacht Rock Party, August 29. So break out your ascot and your finest captain’s hat, and get ready to dance the night away with smooth vibes, great food, and awesome company. When our club reopens after its annual spruce-up, there are many things to mark on your calendar for fall. Here are just a few:

Amy Faulkner Social Committee Chair

White Party, 9/26 – An unforgettable night of delicious food, live music, and dancing. Wear your favorite white ensemble and add a dash of blush pink or pink. Great drinks, music, and conversations will flow! Octoberfest, 10/3 – It’s “Prost” on the Pier… Wunderbar on the Water when Octoberfest comes to the Pointe. Get ready to rock your lederhosen and hoist your steins! We’re bringing a bit of Munich to our marina for the ultimate Oktoberfest celebration. Think beers, brats, music, and lots of fun!

Sushi, Sake, and Saxophone 10/22 – Grab a seat by the water and enjoy masterfully crafted sushi rolls, premium sake flights, and relaxing saxophone vibes. Kids Halloween Party 10/30 – A spooktacular night just for kids! Fly on over in your favorite costume for a ghoulishly fun Halloween party filled with treats, tricks, and monster mashing. Adult Halloween Party 10/31 – Get ready to dance until the witching hour at the wildest, high-energy Halloween party of the season. We’re turning up the volume with live music and spine-chilling drink specials all night long. Bring your best look for our Costume Contest—huge prizes (or just bragging rights) for the most creative, terrifying, and show-stopping outfits! Veteran’s Day Dinner & Dance with Rhythm Chicks 11/7 – Join us for a very special evening as we salute our heroes. Come dressed to impress for a night packed with fantastic food, great company, and a lively dance floor rocking to music across the decades. Auxiliary’s Mamma Mia Fashion Show, 11/11 – My, my, how can you resist this? It’s a day of fun, flair, style, and song inspired by the iconic Mamma Mia! With fashions from Lilly, Tommy Bahama, and more, put on your platforms, your bright pinks and blues, and come have “the time of your life…” Elvis Tribute Night 11/21 – It’s Viva Las Vegas, Baby! It’s time to shake, rattle, and roll on down to the ultimate Viva Las Vegas party—because a little less conversation and a lot more action is exactly what we need! Put on your blue suede shoes and get ready to dance the night away to all of the King’s greatest hits (plus a few surprises). Entertainer extraordinaire David Moran puts on a spectacular show, so it’s a night you won’t want to miss! Cruiser’s Dinghy Rally 11/21 – Test your wits on the water during this fun daytime marine scavenger hunt along the Intracoastal. Open to Cruisers and non-Cruisers alike. Cheers,

Amy Faulkner Amy Faulkner Social Committee Chair

Friday Colors at CRYC Observing Colors is a time-honored ceremony adopted by the US Navy in 1843. Service members and civilians take part in this long - standing tradition to reflect on the sacrifices of the women and men who devoted their lives to protect our nation’s shores from foes. To many, this custom is rooted in a sense of deep pride and is a symbol of admiration. Friday Colors is observed on the First Friday of each Month. 1.

Approximately ten minutes before sunset, as calculated by the Fleet Captain, the word is passed “First call, first call to color.” The honor guard of the day will form near the point of hoist of the ensign. At that time, there will be no services provided by the CRYC and its staff, including the bars, until after the conclusion of Colors and the ensign has been presented to the proper authority.

2. Immediately before sunset, “Attention” is sounded by one horn blast, blown on a whistle, or eight bells is sounded. ALL PERSONS, INCLUDING CHILDREN, within sight or hearing, face the ensign, remove their head gear, place their right hand over their heart and STAND AT ATTENTION and REMAIN SILENT unless singing the National Anthem. Boats in the vicinity lie to, or proceed at the slowest possible speed, and the boat officer or coxswain stands and salutes.

August 2026

3. The order “Execute” is then given: the cannon will be fired, and the ensign is lowered slowly. The National Anthem or “To the Colors” (Retreat) will be played with the ensign starting down the staff. 4. When the ensign is completely lowered, folded, and presented to the proper authority, the word is passed “Carry on,” at which time, salutes are terminated, and the ceremony is over. Congressional Defense Authorization Act of 2009, which President Bush signed on October 14, 2009, entitles retired or former military members in civilian to render the hand salute. Let’s show our pride and respect at CRYC and abide by proper flag etiquette. Flag etiquette reminded: All yacht ensigns should also be struck (taken down and removed) at sunset until the following day.

RECIPROCITY RESPONSIBILITIES & PRIVILEGES OF FCYC CLUB MEMBERS Your Responsibilities When Visiting Another FCYC Club:

Your Expectations of Privileges When Visiting a Host Club:

•

Reservations should be made with the hosting club. Even if the decision to visit another FCYC club is spur-ofthe-moment, a call to the hosting club is appropriate.

•

•

Be prepared to show evidence of your membership in another Council member club. Carry your membership card; or, be prepared to show it on your mobile phone; or, have a letter of introduction from your club.

•

Inquire about dress code when making a reservation.

With a few exceptions, a visiting member of another Council club should be treated no differently than a member of the visited (host) club. Two acknowledged exceptions include: • FCYC member clubs with golf courses are not required to offer golf as a reciprocity benefit. • Clubs may, in some cases, have a charge for visitor parking.

•

Inquire about any club events that may be going on at the time you want to visit.

•

•

Clubs in close geographic proximity to other FCYC member clubs may impose special reciprocity restrictions on the members of those clubs within close proximity. Inquire of your club about any special reciprocity restrictions that may be in place by clubs in close proximity.

Charges of a visiting FCYC member are to be billed back to the visitor’s club. While a host club may offer to settle the charges via credit card, it is the choice of the visiting member whether to settle the charges via credit card or billing to his/her home club.

•

•

Reciprocity privileges should not be abused, including the frequency with which any one host club is visited.

With few exceptions, the prices paid for goods and services by a visiting member of another Council for the sale of fuel and for private events hosted for a visiting member.

•

•

A visiting member of another FCYC club is expected to comply with the host club’s governing documents, including house and marina rules.

Reasonable effort should be made on the part of a host club to honor the reciprocity visit request of a member of another Council club. Seasonal restrictions on reciprocity are not appropriate.

•

Some clubs require visiting boaters to provide proof of insurance and require minimum levels of coverage. Visiting boaters should inquire of such requirements when reserving a slip.

•

It is understood that certain special events held at a club may result in the club being unable to extend reciprocity for very short periods of time.

•

Any Council member club may decline to extend reciprocity privileges or limit the extent of reciprocal privileges to any individual member of another Council member club.

A comprehensive guide on reciprocity entitled “Reciprocity Standards - Q&A” may be found in Section J of the Council’s Information Binder, copies of which are maintained by your club’s office and FCYC Director. August 2026
