What is the oldest yacht club in New York City?

The Harlem Yacht Club, currently based on City Island in the New York City borough of The Bronx and incorporated in 1883, is the third oldest continuously functioning yacht club in the City of New York, the first being The New York Yacht Club (founded in 1844, and currently active in Manhattan and in Newport, Rhode Island), and followed by the Williamsburgh Yacht Club (founded in 1871 in Brooklyn, and currently still active in College Point, Queens). The club currently has over 100 enrolled members in various membership categories.

HYC was originally one of several boating clubs founded in the 19th century on the banks of the Harlem River in upper Manhattan, where it established its first clubhouse at the foot of 121st Street. Over the next two decades, the club grew and acquired a station at College Point, Queens, where most of its races and regattas took place. In 1894, the club sold the station at College Point while establishing a new one on property it had purchased on City Island, as its membership grew.

For the next ten years, the club occupied both locations – a clubhouse in Manhattan and its City Island station on Hunter Avenue. In 1898, the club began building an impressive Victorian-era clubhouse on City Island, which opened in June of the following year. Its opening was heralded by a “salute of seventeen guns… an illumination (of the fleet), and fireworks ashore and afloat.” By 1901, The New York Times noted that, “…in place of the fishing smacks and oyster boats that once anchored in East Chester Bay is the fleet of the Harlem Yacht Club.” In 1903, the club gave up its location in Manhattan, which was taken over by the newly formed Metropolitan Yacht Club. HYC has been at its present location on City Island since then.

The Detroit Yacht Club The Detroit Yacht Club, founded in 1868, is the largest and one of the oldest most prestigious private Clubs in North America.

The historic Detroit Yacht Club was founded shortly after the Civil War in 1868 and has served as host to over 100 years of U.S. Presidents, local Statesmen, Royalty and the Hollywood elite. It has remained viable through the Great Depression while serving five generations of members and families. The health and vitality of the DYC is evident in the beautifully maintained 1920s Mediterranean-style villa that continues to be the largest yacht club in the United States while being the twelfth oldest.

A small clubhouse and sailing shed were built at the foot of McDougall Street, just south of Jefferson Avenue in the late 1870’s. In the early 1880’s, dissension tore the Club apart concerning the expansion of the Club’s social activities. A faction formed the Michigan Yacht Club in 1882. This caused the membership to revitalize the DYC and elect James Skiffington as the Commodore in 1884. A sail racing schedule was introduced and the DYC was here to stay.

The first clubhouse was erected on Belle Isle in 1891 at a cost of $10,000, with an additional $2,000 spent on furnishings. It was destroyed by fire in 1904. A new clubhouse was erected immediately on the ashes of the old clubhouse.

What is the history of the Babylon Yacht Club?

Our History. The Babylon Yacht Club was established in 1903. Our sailing history dates back to 1904, and our first 4th of July Regatta was held in 1905. In 1906, our members helped form the Great South Bay Yacht Racing Association.

Our location “at the foot of Eaton Lane” is the third home of the Club since first established in 1903. In the mid-1920s, a real estate firm which was developing Sequams Colony offered the Babylon Yacht Club the land on which it now sits, in exchange for the land the Club then sat on at the Babylon Dock. The clubhouse was moved by barge across the cove to what has been our home now for almost a century.

The Club has withstood the test of time thanks to our dedicated members. In more recent history, the BYC sustained major damage from both Hurricane Gloria and Superstorm Sandy; however, thanks to our members and their love for our club – the Babylon Yacht Club stands today better than ever on what could arguably be considered one of the most perfect spots on the Bay.
