About Us

North Cove Yacht Club's Mission

The object of this club shall be to encourage the sport of yachting, to promote the science of seamanship and navigation. and to provide and maintain a suitable Club House and other facilities for the recreation and use of its members.

In promoting the science of seamanship, we offer both member and non-member adult and junior sailing instruction. This is also a great way to meet our members as we are always open to new recruits. There are about 130 family and individual members who share a love of boats (power and sail), the sea, and the resulting social environment. They energetically volunteer their time and effort to maintain our facilities.
