When Black boaters faced discrimination on the water, this yacht club became a refuge

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland — David Turner, whose father and grandfather worked the Chesapeake Bay as crabbers and oystermen, recalls "getting up at the crack of dawn" as a kid to help out on weekends and summers.
"I hated it," he says. Turner's childhood experience on Kent Island left him wanting "nothing to do with the water."
"That's why I went to college," he says.
He also remembers his father and grandfather's stories of racial discrimination they encountered on the bay. "They couldn't get parts," he says. "They couldn't get fuel."
Turner's dislike for the water eventually faded. In fact, as he got older, he found that the Chesapeake Bay was "in my bloodstream." He bought a boat. Then another. Eventually, in 2007, he joined the Seafarers Yacht Club of Annapolis.
The historically Black group of like-minded boaters is what drew him in. "I found a group of people who were serious about boating, serious about the community," he says. "They weren't worried about what they did for a living every day. They were interested in boating and the broader community."

A safe haven for Black boaters
If not for the nautical flagpole out front and the placard next to the entrance, the headquarters of the club, founded in 1959 by a handful of Black boaters, would blend seamlessly into the surrounding houses in the city's Eastport district. In many ways, it's a reflection of the area's history and how attitudes have evolved over time. The Maryland capital was once an infamous slave port, and until the early 1960s, the club's headquarters served as a segregated school for "colored children."
In and around Annapolis at that time, some fuel docks refused to serve Black boat owners, says SYC Commodore Benny McCottry.
"They would have to be creative and say, 'I'm here to get gas for the the boss' or something of that nature," he says. "So people would assume this boat didn't belong to them."

Today, the SYC is one of several yacht clubs started by Black boat owners that still dot the Chesapeake and its tributaries. It is equal parts boating organization, social club and community center. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Seafarers have continued to flourish, now boasting about 80 members.
A space for children to learn about the water
On a recent Friday inside the SYC's headquarters, about 40 children wearing matching yellow-and-blue shirts fidget in their seats as they gather for the final day of a two-week youth program. The popular summer curriculum aims to teach an eclectic variety of life skills — from boat handling and fishing to physical fitness.

But on this day, swimming and chess are at the top of the list. The children had been anticipating a cruise on the Chesapeake Bay, but the weather wasn't cooperating.
"Just like in chess, we need to adjust our plan," Vice Commodore Derrick Cogburn announces to the seated kids. Plan B is to watch Queen of Katwe , a film about Phiona Mutesi, a Ugandan girl who rises out of the slums of Kampala to become an international chess star.

Chess, Cogburn tells the children, can help them learn discipline, abstract thinking and how to be flexible about strategy.
The club has its own pool and McCottry, 72, a former Red Cross water safety instructor, rattles off some sobering statistics that illustrate why swimming is a focus: African Americans are 1.5 times more likely to drown than their white counterparts.
According to club member Alice Mahan, who is coordinator for the summer program, "Most of these kids, when they came, did not even want to get their faces wet."
One of them is 10-year-old Olivia Oliver. Entering the program two weeks ago, she did not know how to swim. Now, she says she's mostly confident in the water, but still a little nervous on the deep end. For her, the best part of the program was kayaking. "It was super fun and interesting to see all the jellyfish in the water," she says.

The SYC also hosts Annapolis' only Sea Scout ship as part of the Boy Scouts of America-affiliated program. Some of its top Scouts have gone on to the U.S. Naval and Coast Guard academies.
Confidence and camaraderie
Lonnie Alsop, 69, who joined the club just a few months ago, says he's known about the Seafarers since he was a boy. "My father had friends who were members," he says. "My dad was not a boat owner. I was always hoping he would be, but that never happened."
Alsop says he's always had a love of water. "I bought my first boat when I was 16 years old, which was a speed boat," he says. "I went from there to larger and larger boats. And so finally I got involved in cigarette-style boats, and I had those for years."
"I always wanted to be a Seafarer, but my life has been so busy that I didn't think I had time to be totally involved in and do the types of things in the community that they are constantly involved in."
He says he's "looking forward to spending more time with them and getting involved in some of the programs that they're carrying on in the community."
The days of being turned away at fuel docks are long gone. Many places on the bay are very welcoming, Alsop says. But even now, he says he's "not super comfortable going to marinas where I'm not really familiar."
"To be honest with you, having the camaraderie of some of the guys who are of my same race makes [me] a little more confident," he says.

In 1959, the Seafarers Yacht Club's only goal was to establish a presence on the Chesapeake. Now, it's providing services to the community.

In 1959, four Black men who were boaters in Washington, DC, decided to take their love of the water to the Chesapeake Bay. Joseph Barr, Hugh Dowling, Ellsworth Randall and Albert C. Burwell had been part of the Seafarers Boat Club on the Anacostia River, but wanted to take advantage of the Chesapeake’s much larger cruising grounds. They decided Annapolis should be home port. But the doors of local yacht clubs were closed to them and marina owners refused to sell Black captains fuel.

Undeterred, they created the Seafarers Yacht Club, one of the oldest Black yacht clubs in the US. At first, they met in each other’s homes. Later, the group rented a small storefront in downtown Annapolis. In 1967, they purchased an abandoned, two-room 1918 schoolhouse—the first elementary school for Black children in Annapolis’s Eastport area—and turned it into a clubhouse.
The founders organized cruises where service providers welcomed them, hosted cookouts when they couldn’t dine in restaurants, and built a swimming pool at the back of the clubhouse. Over time, as SYC grew, its mission to enjoy boating transformed into something larger, with a community-service focus that included teaching at-risk youth how to swim and boat, hosting dinners for seniors, and setting up the city’s first Sea Scouts program—think Boy and Girl Scouts on the water.

Capt. Ade Adebisi, SYC’s immediate past commodore, has seen the club mature since joining in 2001, both in membership, which has seen an 80 percent turnover in the last 20 years, and focusing on the local community.
Adebisi first learned of the club through a chance encounter. One day out cruising, he and his family came across Dr. William Woodward, their family dentist—who, unbeknownst to Adebisi—was the club’s then-commodore. After being invited to meet the members, Adebisi never looked back. “These are accomplished individuals who come together and work towards a common goal and support one another,” he says. “We’re not just yacht-club members, we’re friends.”
The club now has 76 members, who own multiple boat types, from kayaks to cruising sailboats to 60-ft. sportfishing machines. During the summer, flotillas of member boats cruise the Chesapeake, or do weekend trips to destinations like Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. On more somber occasions, the group wears the club’s dress whites to member funerals. While the founders were all working-class men, today’s group is more demographically and racially diverse, comprised of business owners, professionals and military officers. The club’s female members are also active in running the organization, with many serving as board members.

Adebisi says the club has made him a better boater, since many of the more seasoned members provide seamanship and boat-handling advice to others. “As a new boater, you’re just learning to deal with all the challenges that come with the water,” he says. “Now, you have other people around to gain experience from, and share stories.”
The current commodore, Capt. Benjamin McCottry, says camaraderie is one of the club’s main strengths. Officially, he’s been a member for six and a half years, but has been around the members “practically all my life,” back to when the 70-year-old was a child.
McCottry is most proud of how the organization gives back to the community. It hosts an annual Thanksgiving Day dinner for seniors, for instance, and uses a donated 28-foot powerboat to teach seamanship skills to local youth.

In fact, the youth programs are of particular importance to McCottry and his fellow members. Since its early days, the Seafarers Yacht Club has provided swimming lessons in the club pool as part of a two-week summer program that also includes boating education.
“Drowning is the second-leading cause in the country of accidental death in children 12 and under,” McCottry says. “Not only do the kids learn how to swim and save themselves, but they also learn how to save somebody else—without endangering themselves.” Many of the youth, he says, come from homes where no one can swim.
The swimming instruction, as well as STEM-related programs and even chess lessons from a chess master to promote critical-thinking skills, all target local children ages eight to 12. They’re overseen by the club’s non-profit arm, the Seafarers Foundation. Older children aren’t forgotten, with the Foundation further overseeing the first—and only—Sea Scouts unit in Annapolis. Sea Scouts is a program of the Boy Scouts of America for male and female teens ages 14 through 20.

The Seafarers Yacht Club established its unit, Sea Scout Ship 1959, in 2019. Not only has it become one of the fastest-growing units in the nation, attracting nearly two dozen members, but also it received the prestigious National Flagship Award last summer. This recognizes outstanding program quality, youth achievements, and adult commitment. One member has gone on to attend the US Naval Academy.
“It’s doing rich work,” says Major General Errol Schwartz, the Seafarers Foundation president. What’s more, he sees opportunities to expand that rich work. He and his colleagues are exploring ways to offer programs year-round, plus close the age gap between those programs and the Sea Scouts.
Additionally, he wants to focus on health issues, especially in light of the pandemic. “We want to hear from the youth,” Schwartz says. “They’ve been pent up in this Zoom environment for two years. What are some of the things that are affecting them, mentally or otherwise?”

Whatever it ultimately does, this “tight-knit family,” as Schwartz calls the Seafarers Yacht Club, will continue to honor its past. “Let’s not forget the people who got us here,” adds Adebisi.
Some of the original members are still alive and the work they did to buy and renovate that original two-room schoolhouse laid the foundations for today’s thriving club. “It’s important for us to maintain that history,” says Adebisi. “We’re proud of it.”

Full disclosure, my experience is solely based on trying to become a member of the club. I reached out to the email listed on their website to inquire about getting some information on membership. The response was professional and quick, but told me that I could not get any information without an existing member sponsor who would have to get the information from them and then send it to me. My wife and I are from out of town and don't honestly know anyone at the club, so I asked if there were meet and greets for potential members to network and find connections with existing members (a fairly standard practice at most clubs). I was told that there is not such a thing and that I should try to attend local sailing events to find someone who is a member so I can get the information. Frankly, this whole process is obnoxious. Anyone who would be willing to go around the sailing community begging someone to sponsor them so that they can pay to join a club is crazy. This is an extension of a college fraternity in adult life....who in their middle age is willing to be a pledge again? Not sure the target demo this place is looking for, but we're not willing to kiss the ring and beg for the privilege of someone taking our money. I have no clue how this place works and am shocked that people who can afford this are willing to subject themselves to this process.
What a great place to have a unique dining experience in the States capital. I was invited to dine with a colleague who is a member. The service was superb. The seafood was fresh and the mixed drinks were well balanced. The lobster I had was very good. It was fresh and very filling with the sides it came with. The decor of the restaurant is nautical. It ober looks a local marina. Great place for drinks and or dinner.
Lobster Dinner with sides
What goes on at the yacht club* stays at the yacht club, lol. The views and food are delicious; but don't even think of just pulling up or parking- It's members only.
Had a birthday lunch here with a fairly big table of 12. Service was good, but food came out lukewarm, probably due to our large party. Ordered the fried oysters to start and the crab cake sandwich. Oysters were OK, a little more breading on the smaller than normal oysters. Crab cake was good, not much filler. A little smaller than I expected, but tasty. The fries were just OK, probably tastes better hot. Some of the salads got rave reviews (peach/burrata and Chesapeake Cobb), so maybe that will be an option another time.
This place is the temporary home for the Annapolis Yacht Club. The original building at 2 Compromise Street several minutes away caught on fire Dec 12,2015, after a Christmas Tree with built in light set a blaze, and burned down. Right now it's being rebuilt. This is a private club, great for sailing . I came here for a 60th Anniversary Party. The room itself is long, with two levels. There was a bar at the far corner of the room , and there were two long tables with appetizers for the cocktail hour. Two steps down was the seating area with tables of 6 and 8. This was a sit down buffet dinner. For the Cocktail hour I started with Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail and Horseradish Cocktail Sauce. Next was the Baked Brie in Pastry with nuts and crackers, Raw Oysters with a Mignonette Sauce, and Cocktail Sauce. Hot hors d'oeuvres were being passed like Mini Stuffed Egg Rolls and dipping sauce, Mini Crab Cakes , Chicken Satay with dipping peanut sauce. My favorite was the Mini Crab Cakes and Oysters. Everything was so fresh. For dinner, at the first station I had Rare Prime Rib with a homemade Horseradish Sauce, Fresh Asparagus, and a Potato Galante. Next I moved over to the Pasta Station. I had a choice of Angel Hair, Penne, or tri-colored Tortellini.There was also a choice of veggies and fillers. You could have Alfredo Sauce or Marinara . I chose Angel Hair Pasta with sautéed Spinach, Onions, Mushrooms , Red and Yellow Peppers, Zucchini I had them mix the Alfredo and Marinara Sauce to make Pomarosa sauce. The portion was huge. My pasta was delicious and my prime rib was cooked perfectly. The Cesar Salad was served directly to each of us at the tables. There was an open bar, and a piano Player for music. Afterwards a large custom made Anniversary Cake, Coffee and Tea was served. All in all this was a beautiful event and the food was really good. I must say the staff was very professional, and very attentive. This is a lovely place to hold an event or party. Especially with views of Spa Creek and the boats. There is free parking in the lot for guests. During the week the Annapolis Yacht Club is open for lunch , and dinner. Friday's they have happy hour.

No manners. I contacted the event coordinator, Roberta, to inquire about hosting our wedding there. I was told - quite coldly - that the space is for members only. One website indicated that the club offers weekly memberships - so, naturally, I responded with an inquiry about said membership. The response was, "we ABSOLUTELY do not have weekly memberships. There is a 5 year wait list." Yikes . . . how dare a mere mortal such as myself make such an inquiry? I suggested that she approach such inquiries with a bit more grace and patience. Let's hope she takes heed.
My family has been members for years! Always a beautiful evening! Thanksgiving was wonderful my Father, mother, boyfriend as well as myself enjoyed the wide variety of food! Cooked to perfection! With every bite, explodes of flavor! With a wide variety of deserts, from little one bites to a whole peace of pie to choose from. Young and old will be sure to have enjoyed this lavish thanksgiving!
I walked in there because my husband had a corporate party at this place same day, few hours earlier. I talked to three people, got a table and even a chair for my 7-month old when they announced that I need to be a member to dine there. I complained to the manager and they kicked me out with an infant on my hands anyway!!! No apology, no empathy. Never been so embarrassed. Shame on you, the yacht club!
So, armed with a Letter of Introduction from my home yacht club (also listed in the Yachting Clubs of America, just like the Annapolis Yacht Club), I was told that reciprocity would not be honored for a day pass just for dining. I couldn't even get a phone call returned from the manager asking about the situation. Bad form. If you can get past the front door of this place, you'll be doing better than I did. Hard pass.
