Greetings, Friends & Neighbors: the Silver Bay Harbor Association promises another season of sun & fun at our beach club and marina. All dues and fees remain the same the same for 2025 as they were in 2024. They can be found under the “Forms” tab of this website (see above).
PRIVATE PARTY RENTALS: For information about how to make a reservation for private party rentals at the beach club, go to the association’s website and click on the “Calendar” tab. You should also click on the “Forms” tab and check out the Clubhouse Reservation Agreement. Please note that reservations will not be accepted unless your 2025 membership dues are already paid in full.
BOAT SLIP & WAVERUNNER SLIP RENTALS: The marina is fully booked for the 2025 season. If you’re a member who would like to sign up for a boat or waverunner slip next year, we will hold our usual annual sign-up sessions next February. Watch this space around yearend for more details about that.
HOW TO JOIN OR RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP: The SBHA’s 2025 Membership Fee Schedule & Renewal Form can be found by clicking on the “FORMS” tab at the top of this web page. New members should fill out both that form and the 2025 First Time Membership Application. All forms should be printed, filled out and mailed with a check to our treasurer, Dave Schlossman, at 74 Taylor Road, Short Hills, NJ 07078. Checks should be made payable to the Silver Bay Harbor Association.
To join as a regular member with full voting rights in the association (two votes per household), you must live within two blocks of the SBHA property at 34 Sea Breeze Road, on the south side of Silver Bay Road. Anywhere else is outside of our core membership area — but you may still join as an associate member, which doesn’t include voting rights but effectively gives you the same privileges and access to our facilities. Associate members don’t have to pay the $350 initiation fee, which is a one-time fee that only applies if you’re joining the association as a regular member.
Joining the SBHA as a regular or associate member gives you unlimited access to the fishing dock, boat ramp, playground and swimming beach, which has a full-time lifeguard on duty during the summer. You’re also eligible to rent the beach club building for private parties and rent a boat slip in the marina, both depending on availability.
The annual dues are $250 for a regular membership and $350 for an associate membership, which covers everyone in your family who lives at your address. The annual deadline for paying your dues is March 1, and they’re not pro-rated if you join or renew your membership later in the year.
If you have any questions about joining the association or renewing your membership, send an email to the association president, Bob Mura, at bobmura67@gmail.com or the treasurer, Dave Schlossman, at d.schlossman@icloud.com.
