The Village Boat Club (VBC) is a non profit, Village of Tuxedo Park tax payer / property owner organization for the purpose of managing and providing recreational and fishing boat access to Tuxedo Park Village owned Tuxedo Lake.
Membership in the VBC is required by agreement with the Village of Tuxedo Park to access the lake, at the Village owned waterfront and docks. Shared VBC boats are available for use by members and registered private, VBC member boats must remain at the Village facility and hulls and boats must be cleaned and registered prior to being put on Tuxedo lake at the facility. Also as in any NY waters, a fishing license is required for fishing.
More information and applications can be obtained from the Village Clerk’s office and for info and questions regarding membership, rules and regulations about the club and lake use by members. A list of elected officers and contact info for 2007 are below.

Saturday May 6 - Volunteers Needed (Posted 5/3/23)
Hello VBC members and helping hands!
We are working on the boats and the VBC boat club area this Saturday at 8:30AM and need some helping hands. Each year our responsibility to the community grows; with it, we need more volunteers to keep costs down. A little time goes a long way in repairing, replacing, and upgrading the VBC. If you are able, we need volunteers for the following (Please reply to this email if you can help out):
-- Duffy wax/polish (3 - 4 worker volunteers): Wax/polish hull and launch.
-- Pine Tree Trimming (2 - 3 worker volunteers): We need to cut back branches along the ramp area to launch the Duffy.
-- Dock repairs (3 - 4 worker volunteers with tools and power drills charged):Flip good existing boards, replace badly rotted ones, and tighten cleats. Pull the dock anchor out and install the drainage pipe channel marker.
-- Kayak and Canoe Cleaning (2 - 3 worker volunteers): Clean the kayaks and canoes
-- Rake out the lake (2 - 3 worker volunteers): Rake the approach area and push large stones away from the launch area. We need shovels and heavy rakes as well. It will require stepping into shallow water, so boots are a good idea. Waders are a plus.
-- Starweld repair (1 - 2 worker volunteers): Install midship cleat.
Thank you and hope to see you there!
