The Boston Yacht Club was founded in 1866.  Standing tall and proud, it was formed "in the spirit of comradeship, courtesy, chivalry and sympathetic joy in a common sport." It began with a modest 90 members and has since grown to more than 500 members, 400 boats and adding private hotel accommodations for those wishing to stay a night or longer.

The Boston Yacht Club has a rich history including numerous successful defenses of the America's Cup. It also places a heavy emphasis on charitable involvement from fundraising for needy children and hospice care facilities to hosting sailing competitions for the physically handicapped. More can be learned about this prestigious Marblehead institution by visiting its website.
