OYC Brochure - Orienta Yacht Club

Welcome
to
Orienta
Yacht Club
Founded in 1907, the Orienta Yacht Club
is one of the oldest and most distinctive
Clubs on Long Island Sound. We are
located in the scenic and well-protected
East Basin of Mamaroneck Harbor, easily
accessible through a well-marked, deep
water channel. Mamaroneck is a gateway
to great fishing, sailboat racing, cruising
and just plain “messing about in boats.”
Our members include both power-boaters
and sailors who welcome the opportunity
to work on their own boats, which is
typically not allowed in commercial
boatyards. Our members serve alongside
skilled professionals in our yard when their
yachts are hauled and launched. We can
refer you to a roster of valued craftspeople
who can handle all the work, too. Plus
there are three full-service boatyards,
fuel and pumpout facilities nearby.
Orienta Yacht Club is a friendly place
distinguished by member participation
in every aspect of Club life—from staffing
work parties, planning social events and
cruises, to taking on major upgrades to
our facilities and equipment.
Facilities
Clubhouse
The center of OYC life is our lovely Clubhouse with
its shaded porch overlooking the scenic east basin
of Mamaroneck Harbor. The Clubhouse includes a
newly renovated kitchen and men’s and women’s
restrooms and showers. It is available for members
to rent on a first come, first served basis.
