THE CLUB

AYC was founded on May 1, 1883. Many of the original founders worked in the shipbuilding and engineering fields. One of AYC’s original purposes was to promote the development of steam yachts. In 1884, AYC held its first regatta which was also the first race of steam yachts ever held in America.

The club always included sailboats and today many different designs can be found moored in the club's harbor or competing with other boats from around the country or the world in high performance regattas.

AYC has long had an active junior sailing program. AYC's role in promoting sailing has continued with its active participation in the Junior Sailing Association of Long Island (JSA). The club's Young American Junior Big Boat Sailing Team, placed first in the 2016 Bermuda Race. In 2018, AYC became the home base for the new Young American Sailing Academy, Inc.

AYC continues to be a premier destination for yachting enthusiasts and those seeking a vibrant social community. Its combination of tradition, excellence, and innovation ensures that it remains a top choice for discerning individuals and families.

Club is open 5 days per week, 11 months per year.
