As a member of the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco we have reciprocal privileges to use the NYYC club (and Vice Versa) when we're are traveling. This goes for the NYYC Harbor Court station in Newport, RI. Our Commodore was having his "Commodore Cruise" in New England and the closing dinner was to be at Harbor Court. Now, with COVID there was a limit on guests amd total crowd for a dinner. We had over 100 cruising ew England and over 80 were due for the final dinner. Add Henri the hurricane to the mix and we had some challenges for the dinner. We had cocktails on the front lawn. Then, the NYYC set is up outside in the motor court area for dinner. This allowed us to get our entire group together. Weather was perfect. Calm Before the storm as they say. We even had the opportunity to watch the clubs "colors" ceremony when they retreat the flag each evening prior to sunset. Now getting to the food and service. With COVID it is especially hard to find amd keep good servers. We struggle with that at our club. It here at the NYYC. First they had plenty of staff. A welcome reprise from those businesses who can't seem to ramp staff back up. Even more impressive, their staff are trained very well. Women first, serve from left, remove from Right etc... I was thoroughly impressed that during COVID, and the night before a major hurricane, the NYYC was able to host the dinner for the StFYC and do so at such a best-of-class level. If you have a chance to visit Harbor Court, don't miss it!
Motor court entrance to NYYC's Harbor Court. We had our dinner outside last night.
Members and guests standing proud during the "colors" ceremony when the club lowers the American flag each night. #tradition #honor
I recently came for a cocktail with some co-workers. The grounds and views are stunning. If you are ever so fortunate as to accept an invitation from a member please come for a visit! Our waitress was kind and attentive. She took everyone's drink orders quickly and our orders were correct. (I did have to describe what was in a Cape Codder though). Lovely location, great to soak in a beautiful summer day. We may get to enjoy a dinner here in the future and I look forward to updating my review.
For all of the New York Affluent Yacht owners, now you can add a club of your own to accommodate all of your guest that are fine wine lovers. This is an amazing opportunity to have a supply of the best curated fine wines from Napa and Sonoma region, delivered directly to your Dock. To learn more about this opportunity visit http://1f89.com/wine-delivered-to-your-yacht/ or call 1-480-788-5051
Gorgeous venue, with arguably the best views in town. Delicious, fresh, and high quality food. The menu is generally not very large, but offers a good selection of choices. The venue has different events, and menu changes each day - sometimes there are buffets. The service is courteous, although registering when walking in can be lengthy. The outdoor patio and lounge chairs area is very enjoyable. Lunches tend to be less busy and more peaceful. Dinners can get crowded and loud with many visitors who come to watch the sunset. The boat water parking is located right below.

I had the opportunity to enjoy this fine establishment for my brother-in-law's naval change of command ceremony dinner. The grounds of the club are beautiful and meticulously maintained. All the staff are gracious and welcoming - the bartenders even kept an eye on my nephews during some dull dinner moments. Cocktails served on the patio overlooking the harbor with a beautiful (and STEEP!) grassy hill down to the water really set the mood for a nice evening. The formal dinner was chicken, leeks and some sort of grain - all very good and well prepared. Service was impeccable. Even though I'm not exactly your "yacht club" type o' gal, I'd definitely say I'm a fan of this place :)
Spectacular wedding venue! Staff was helpful and kind, food was delicious and perfectly cooked.
View of the boat house where the wedding took place. Absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful place to have an event. The staff is wonderful and the food is magnificent. As a sailor myself it's one of the places I love to go to. The view from the hill is amazing. I never get tired of it.
An exquisite venue on Newport Harbor. I've attended several weddings and social events at this venerable Rhode Island private establishment. Members may extend privileges to friends who can take advantage of the lovely lodging or the bar and dining facilities. You can't go wrong paying a visit to Harbor Court. Remember: no cell phones in club public areas!
Great lobster roll. Fresh and good volume. Friendly service but slow. Not much dessert menu. Coffee taste nice.

To give you an idea of what you could expect to pay for your yacht club membership, here are some numbers gathered from across the country:

What are the Cheapest Yacht Clubs?
The cheapest yacht clubs charge just under $1,000 per year for membership. While this does give you access to different types of experiences, you may be disappointed by the overall amenities.
Some yacht clubs are known for their extravagant country club styles that help you to embrace a particular lifestyle. They include Olympic-sized swimming pools, state-of-the-art tennis courts, and fine dining.
Everything has a beautiful waterfront view. It can feel like you are in the middle of an idyllic paradise without ever even having to leave the shore. If this is what you can gain from the most expensive yacht clubs, you should set your expectations much lower for the cheaper yacht clubs.
The cheaper yacht clubs lack the community aspect of these exclusive options. They feature dry slips and the occasional party, but not much more.
Some of them may have the feel of a county park with some picnic benches, outdoor grills, and a moderately sized swimming pool. Expect a much more casual atmosphere when you choose to go with a cheaper yacht club.
It is even possible that they are simply “paper yacht clubs” that do not even maintain a physical building of their own.
How Much Do the Most Expensive Yacht Clubs Cost to Join?
The most expensive yacht clubs can vary a great deal in price. Most of them will cost between $3,000 and $4,000 per year. However, you can certainly find more exclusive clubs that will cost above and beyond this.
Keep in mind that these more expensive clubs generally are not open to the public. They are offered by invitation only and you must have a member sponsor you to be considered for entrance.
When you are paying for a more expensive yacht club, you should make sure that you are really going to get your money’s worth. These expensive clubs promote a certain type of elegant lifestyle.
Make sure that you are planning to take advantage of all the amenities available from one of these clubs before you sink too much money into the membership fees. The social aspect of these expensive yacht clubs is extremely important.
If you plan to simply rent a boat from time to time, you might be able to go with a cheaper yacht club.

What Is Generally Included in the Membership Fee for Yacht Clubs?
Have you been wondering why you should join a yacht club? Many potential members want to know what they can expect from their membership fees before they commit to a year-long contract. There are many advantages to signing up for a membership with a well-known yacht club.
Amenities and Activities
First and foremost, you get access to activities and cruises planned by board members. These might be various sailing activities, dinners, get-togethers, tennis matches, or other events that take up a lazy Sunday afternoon.
You also gain access to any amenities that surround the yacht club’s marina. For many programs, this means a fitness center, pool, and tennis courts. Several locations also offer fine dining, meeting rooms, and more.
It is like a private oasis where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the regular world. Time moves slowly when you’re enjoying the amenities here.
Many yacht clubs have programs that introduce children (and adults!) to sailing. Take classes to learn more about improving your technique, sailing safety, and other important aspects of life on the open water.
Access to the Fleet
The main reason why most people join yacht clubs is to be able to rent out boats instead of purchasing their own. Joining a yacht club may give you access to an entire fleet of yachts that can be reserved for a day or weeks at a time. Some yacht clubs allow you to rent boats for up to ten days at a time.
Others do not allow you to rent out ships. They are primarily geared toward individuals who already own a yacht or will own a yacht in the future. Make sure you know the difference in advance.
Are There any Additional Costs Besides the Membership Fees?
Unfortunately, the membership fees are not the only cost associated with joining a yacht club. Most of the clubs in the United States also have a one-time initial fee that tends to cost thousands of dollars. Many will range from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the location and the exclusivity of the yacht club.
This one-time fee should be the only additional money you pay except for fuel. Most yacht clubs do not cover the cost of the fuel used in the ship during your rental if renting is an option. Be prepared for what this could cost you.
If you cause damage to the ship, you can also expect some out-of-pocket costs. Insurance should cover the damage, but you will likely be asked to cover the cost of the deductible.
Be sure to inquire about how much you may be on the hook for before you sign up for any particular yacht club. Accidents can happen, even to the most experienced sailors. Make sure that you can afford the mishap in advance.
Is a Yacht Club Membership Right for You?
Understanding what the real cost of a yacht club membership is can be the first step toward determining if this is right for you. Many people love the luxuries available through the more expensive yacht clubs, but they may not be able to afford it. Consider what is most important in a club to you before deciding to sign on the dotted line for an annual membership.

New York Yacht Club
Today’s New York Yacht Club is, Commodore Lawrence Huntington says, “a far cry from white-haired businessmen having lunch in February in Manhattan.” It is no longer, as it was for most of its existence, a paradox: a yacht club with no permanent waterfront presence, only a midtown address, on West 44th Street between 5th and 6th avenues. With a clubhouse in Newport, R.I., that has become a popular summer destination, the club now attracts more young sailors into its fold than ever before.

Even before the 1988 addition of the Newport clubhouse, the 160-year-old club could argue it was the world’s preeminent yachting association. “As the yacht club was the earliest and only organization to have a national scope, thinkers and influential people in the sport tended to convene under the banner of the New York Yacht Club,” says Huntington. “It became established as the place where that influence would be wielded, and I think that persists to this day.”
John Cox Stevens, the club’s founder and first commodore, owned the schooner America, which, in 1851, bested a fleet of English competitors, caught the attention of Queen Victoria, and inspired the launch of the America’s Cup race. From 1851 through 1983, the club successfully defended the trophy 25 times.
However, after losing the America’s Cup to Australia in 1983, the officers of the NYYC realized that their organization’s identity had depended too heavily on its stewardship of the trophy. Younger sailors, especially those not living in New York, were joining clubs with waterfront properties, while the NYYC was fast becoming a creaky watering hole where Manhattan bankers would talk business rather than sailing over their cocktails.
The rejuvenation process began when the club acquired Harbour Court in Newport, once the summer home of John Nicholas Brown, of the Brown University Browns. By providing members with access to the steady winds and deep waters of Rhode Island Sound, Harbour Court quickly transformed the club’s character. “The club used to be a place where people met in the wintertime and convened for parties and dinners, and by definition, that meant an older crowd,” Huntington says.
Like its Harvard Club neighbor, the 44th Street clubhouse, which was designed by Grand Central Station architect Whitney Warren, still serves as a traditional, jacket-and-tie midtown club. It includes a full bar, leather couches, rooms for overnight guests, and a musty library full of noteworthy nautical volumes. The Model Room, the centerpiece of the West 44th Street clubhouse, contains close to 1,300 miniature ships mounted on the walls or enclosed in glass cases. Downstairs, the dining room, which is shaped like the interior of a hull, is popular for weekday lunches and pretheater dinners. Here, conversation, regardless of its initial direction, usually turns to boating.
At Harbour Court, about 200 miles northeast of midtown, the atmosphere is decidedly different. Deck shoes and polo shirts are part of the weekend dress code, and children are welcome to play outside on the sun-washed and wind-lashed grounds. As is the case at the 44th Street clubhouse, business conversations are discouraged in Harbour Court’s common areas, and cell phones are prohibited.
For decades, because it lacked an on-water facility, the New York Yacht Club was usually a member’s second club; Huntington himself, who lives in New York, belongs to the Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, Conn. Now the NYYC has become the primary club for new members, who are continuing the annual tradition of sailing in the Newport-to-Bermuda regatta (2004 marked the event’s 150th anniversary) and the New York–to-Newport cruise. In May 2005, the club will host the Rolex Transatlantic Challenge, a race from New York Harbor to the English Channel that is open to single-hull sailboats 70 feet and longer.
Harbour Court also hosts the national championships of Optimist Prams, which are small boats used as training vessels for children as young as 3 years old. “You can’t imagine a bigger change for the New York Yacht Club than to have hundreds of 7- and 8-year-old Optimist sailors having a competition on its home dock,” says Huntington. “It’s terrific.”
Despite the changes to the club over the years, one element has remained constant: the power of the burgee, the flag with the blue background, red cross, and white star that only members can fly aboard their boats. The NYYC brand is so guarded that members are discouraged from even giving a hat sporting the burgee to a nonmember. The story goes that when a boat flying the club’s burgee approaches a marina anywhere in the world, the dockmaster will quickly find room for the vessel. “Members are proud to fly the burgee,” Huntington says with modesty. “How do others perceive them? I’ll leave that to them.”
Joining the Club
To become a member, a candidate must be nominated by an existing member. While ownership of a vessel is not required, a candidate must be familiar with boats and should have accomplished a significant achievement in boating. “You could be Tiger Woods and not be able to get in the New York Yacht Club if you hadn’t demonstrated anything other than being a gentleman and a super golfer,” says Commodore Lawrence Huntington. “There has to be an interest and an involvement in the sport; then the process is like any other association.”
Once an applicant has been nominated by a member, he or she meets with the membership committee. Upon approval of the application, a new member can attend a reception ceremony at either Harbour Court (in the spring) or 44th Street (in the fall). New members are traditionally given carnations to wear and are welcome to bring their families to the ceremony. The club does not disclose annual membership dues.

Photos: Inside the Exclusive New York Yacht Club in NYC
Located on 37 West 44th Street, New York, NY, the New York City Yacht Club is a private social and yachting club founded by a prominent New Yorker named John Cox Stevens. Originated on July 30th, 1844, the original purpose of the club was simple: to race sailing yachts. Today, the club is composed of over 3,000 members dedicated to both yacht racing and design. As one of New York’s most elite social clubs, membership to the NYYC is very exclusive, which makes photos hard to come by, but we were able to get a look inside the stunning club.
The club was first started during an outing on Steven’s own yacht Gimcrack with eight friends. On that boat, anchored in New York Harbor, the group developed their idea to form the NYYC. They designated Stevens as commodore, and three days later, announced their launching of a yacht club cruise to Newport, Rhode Island: the beginning of the historical connection between these two cities. In 1845, the NYYC’s first clubhouse was built on land granted by Stevens in Hoboken, NJ, in close proximity to the Hudson River. Read more.

C lub Facilities
Our facilities are located at Liberty Harbor Marina in Jersey City. This location is easily reached by public transportation, ferries and car. Our land-based Clubhouse features a grass lawn and several decks where Members can relax on rocking chairs. If you live in an apartment, our Clubhouse will become your backyard and outdoor terrace.
Members love to relax at the Clubhouse and escape the bustle of city life. After races, teams gather around the BBQs and cook dinner. On weekends, Members enjoy the cushioned benches below the sun awning. The social connections and friends you make at the Manhattan Yacht Club will become an important part of your life.
“I wish to be a member for the sailing first and foremost. I intend to continue learning through sailing and eventually skipper boats recreationally. In addition to the on-water experience, I wish to join Manhattan Yacht Club for the social aspects off-water. I’ve recently moved to NYC and would love to engage with others who have shared interests.” – Conner
We are an active Club and Members love sailing. From our Club’s beginning in 1987, we have maintained a fleet of J/24s which is available for all Members to use. You can sail at our Club without owning a boat. The Club currently keeps 13 white J/24s on floating docks in front of the Clubhouse. These boats are all professionally maintained to high standards. There are also an additional 10 red J/24s which are used for our sailing school.
“I have been to Manhattan Yacht Club on several occasions. All of my dealings with staff have been tremendous, courteous and extremely professional. The Manhattan Yacht Club has a prestigious reputation with a community/family feel with many activities and social connections. I want to expand my network of sailing enthusiasts whilst continuing my education through the school. I believe my membership with MYC would incredibly enrich my passion for sailing and it would be an honor to be a member.” – Bonnie
In addition to the original shared-use fleet, Members are now adding private boats to the Club. These include cruising boats as well as the new fleet of International One Designs plus Sunfish dinghies.
Racing Programs
MYC is renowned for our racing programs. There are Member J/24 races on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and a corporate sailing league on Thursdays. The IOD fleet races on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons.
“MYC has a great reputation and I experienced some of it’s fantastic sailing community vibes. I would like to bring in my dedication and knowledge to this very special community. I always try to keep the team together and am of course also keen to help setting up social events for the sailing community.” – Anja
The Sunfish dinghies race on Saturday afternoons.
There is even an affiliated program which races historic America’s Cup 12 Meters. In winter, the Club organizes a Frostbite Series for Sunfish dinghies. Every few years, we organize the Lady Liberty Regatta and the International Yacht Club Challenge.
Cruising Programs
Each year, many new sailors join our Club with some of them coming from Manhattan Sailing School. After discovering the sport of sailing, people want to gain more experience. Our Club J/24s sail seven days a week from May until October. We have a very popular “Fleet Captain Program” where Skippers volunteer to take fellow Members sailing. This is a great way for new sailors to get involved in the Club, improve their skills and begin making sailing connections. There is also an active Day Sailing League.
“My experience at the sailing school reflected very positively on the club. The instructors themselves, the other MYC members and leadership who spoke on calls, and the members we ran into at the club over the weekend were all welcoming, encouraging, and friendly. This club feels like a great place to get back into sailing. I was also impressed by the club’s fleet of boats and the structured programs in place to grow sailing skills (my experience with the sailing school makes me excited to get sailing again in the fleet captain program).” – Marc
Mentor Program
Our Club also has a strong educational philosophy. In addition to the Fleet Captain Program which turns novices into seasoned crew, we have a Mentor Program. This is where Club Skippers work with aspiring sailors to improve their skills with the goal of passing our Skipper Certification Test.
“I wish to be a member because I thoroughly enjoyed my time doing the weekend Basic Sailing course and learned a lot. I would like to continue to learn and improve my skills and I think the Manhattan Yacht Club is the best place to do that. I appreciate that you have a mentoring program where experienced sailors can impart their wisdom on newer sailors, and like that the club does multiple social events.” – Nina
Honorable William Wall
Manhattan Yacht Club’s first major clubhouse is called the “Honorable William Wall” and it is anchored in the harbor near Ellis Island. This clubhouse serves as a spectator platform for the sailboat races and is open from Tuesday through Saturday. This clubhouse is affectionately known as the “Willy Wall” and features an open air bar on the upper deck. MYC Members receive 50% off all drinks at the Willie Wall, just show your membership card! This Clubhouse is also open to the public and used for corporate events. There is a $20 launch fee to reach the clubhouse and Members receive first option for signature events like the Full Moon Party. The Willy Wall is a super impressive place to entertain friends, family and co-workers, plus visitors from out of town.
“I wish to be a member of the Manhattan Yacht Club primarily to improve my sailing skills, and secondly to expand my social network of like-minded people. I was incredibly impressed by the welcoming nature of the members of the club and I’d like to get to know more members of the club.” – Ian
Arabella is the Flagship of Manhattan Yacht Club. She is a 157-foot mega yacht which offers a luxurious atmosphere and a great place for high-end entertaining. Arabella is primarily used for private events and charters but she is also opened occasionally on an evening for Members. During the summer, Arabella also serves as the Club’s floating hotel. She will accompany the 12 Meter sailors to Newport for the World Championships. Next winter, Arabella will also travel to the Caribbean and Members can book a cabin onboard for a week of mega yachting.
“Growing up sailing was a great escape from the city and was an activity I really enjoyed. Once I started University, sailing became less of a priority and joining a club was difficult in my university. Now that I’ve moved to NYC and started a new job, having the opportunity to be out on the water and take a break from traditional city life, while meeting people who share an appreciation for sailing, would be wonderful.” – Alexander
Member Community
Our community is an active, engaged and diverse group composed from all backgrounds. Our Members share a common passion for sailing. Almost all Members experience a significant increase in their recreational and social lives after joining Manhattan Yacht Club.
“I took my basic course with Parker, whose enthusiasm for sailing, and the club was so contagious! This seems exactly like the next step I need in order to learn, have fun, and make new friends.” – Karen
Traveling With the Club
Sailing will take you around the world! Our Club usually organizes one or more international trips every year. In the winter, we organize “Caribbean Week” when Members fly to the Caribbean to sail in the sun for a week as part of a fun flotilla on chartered boats. In November, we head to Bermuda for a vacation and sailing on IODs. We send a team every two years to participate in Monaco Classic Week in September. We also send sailors to the 12 Meter Worlds in Newport RI.
“I really enjoyed my experience with the sailing course. I liked the people I met, the atmosphere of the club, and I’m excited about the events the club puts on. It seems like an excellent place to continue building my experience sailing. I am also excited about the global partnerships as I do like to travel.” – Kristen
Other Social Events
Closer to home, our big annual social events are the Sailors Ball every April and the Annual Dinner every December. In between there are many gatherings at the Clubhouse, Full Moon Parties in the harbor plus BBQs almost every night during the sailing season.
“I live in Manhattan, and this seems like a great way for me to get more involved in sailing. I sailed my senior year of college, and I sailed J22s quite a bit last summer when I was living in Charleston. This club would be a great way for me to not only learn to race sailboats, but also to meet other individuals in the community who also enjoy sailing. After enrolling in the Manhattan sailing school, I think this would be a great segway into getting more active in the sailing community and growing my sailing knowledge and skillset.” – Daniel
