WELCOME TO HYC

The Friendliest Club on City Island

The Harlem Yacht Club, founded in 1883, is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the United States.

We’ve been based here on City Island since 1894. This unique New York City community is the gateway to the cruising grounds of Long Island Sound to the east and New York City to the west.

With a full complement of services and activities for boat-owners, new sailors, and social members alike, HYC has something to offer everyone. Come visit us and see. Write to membership@hyc.org to arrange a tour or get more information.
