Worton Point Yacht Club
 

We are a Yacht Club consisting of both power and sail boat owners.  It is a non-profit corporation created to promote safe boating, to encourage the sport of yachting, the science of seamanship and navigation and to foster comradeship and good fellowship among its members.  Our members are located in various marinas in the beautiful Upper Chesapeake Bay.  Since we are a volunteer organization and we have no clubhouse to maintain, we have neither overheads nor minimum monthly charges to escalate the cost of membership.  All of your membership dues are spent for the benefit of our members.

Benefits of Membership:

· Annual long cruise

· Weekend cruises

· Monthly socials all year long

· Really friendly members and families

· Privileges at other Chesapeake and East Coast yacht clubs

· Membership in Boat US at half price

· Handsome burgee for your boat to wear

· Handsome lapel pin for you to wear

History of the Club:

Upon dissolution of the Eastern Shore Yacht Club, several of its members expressed an interest in forming a new club.  On April 4, 1991, we held our inaugural meeting with fourteen charter memberships.  On February 3, 1993, Commodore Howard Wisch attended the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Club Association (CBYCA) meeting at the Mt. Vernon Yacht Club and initiated our membership into the CBYCA.  We could now stay in other yacht clubs around the Bay as an official yacht club.  And the cruises and socials have continued to this day.  (Click the calendar link to this year’s program.)  We are also members of the Yachting Clubs of America, which offers reciprocal courtesies across the country.

Many of our members dock their vessels, both sail and power, at the Worton Creek Marina, Worton, MD., although this is not a requirement for membership.  Located here is a swimming pool and restaurant.  Within a short distance are the historic towns of Chestertown and Rock Hall, accessible by boat or by land.  We have about 40 family members at present.
