First, add guests privileges to your membership for $35. You can purchase this add-on at any time, and there is no limit to the number of guest signouts per season.

Once you have passed your Mercury yellow test (or earned a higher rating), you can sail with non-members. The number of guests is limited by boat capacity — Mercuries can accommodate one member plus up to three guests. Alternatively, you can sign out a double kayak with one guest regardless of your rating.

When your guests arrive at CBI, they should register at a kiosk in the Main Bay. The kiosk will then print out a receipt that guests should present to the dockhouse staff before heading out onto the water.
