Become a Member! Why Wait?
Join EYC and become part of a lively and welcoming crowd of boating enthusiasts! Whether we are racing, cruising, sailing, powerboating or simply taking in the incomparable view from our expansive deck, we all love being on the water together.
Our Club is proudly down to earth, casual, and has a strong sense of community and purpose. Our roots and legacy are in the Annapolis maritime industry itself. What you will find are easy-going people, a community-minded spirit, and a great value. You will not see crystal chandeliers or blue blazers.
We believe in volunteering to make our Club what we want it to be. Our members are more owners than anything; we are very proud of what we do. We’ve established strong and active committees to do just that, and members are expected to pitch in and participate. Our Green Team educates us about our environmental responsibilities with lectures, seminars, and a raft of informative activities. We love our “Fools with Tools” from our Building and Grounds Committee that keeps things ship shape from our docks to dining room. Our Junior Fleet’s five-star rated sailing programs have instructed and inspired scores of young Annapolis sailors.
Thanks to our Family Committee, you can count on making new friends at events like our monthly Movie Nights and special parties. And that most popular Annapolis holiday tradition, the Lights Parade, is a home-grown EYC endeavor that has been named the “Best Christmas Parade in America” by USA Today. For the grownups, our House Committee plans a busy social calendar. When you’re not just relaxing in our cozy bar and dining room, you’ll be listening and dancing to Sunday music on the deck, playing Trivia and darts, and enjoying plenty of social occasions with us. And if you’re looking for a little adrenaline, join our renowned Race Committee, recognized for its top-notch organization, knowledge, and dedication to fair competition! Through it all, we recognize and embrace our responsibility to community. The EYC Foundation, our charitable arm, is committed to preserving the maritime character of Annapolis and bringing boating, education, and community together.
Join EYC and find a great place to escape, a wonderful sense of humor and hospitality, and plenty of experienced and knowledgeable boaters – racers, cruisers, world travelers, and Bay explorers – all eager to share their expertise and love of the water with you. And if you are looking to make new friends, getting involved with the community, or becoming part of a great family, this is the club for you. Come join us! We look forward to meeting you.
See you at the Club!
