• Is there an application for membership? Since we are privately owned, potential members can register by submitting our membership forms and payment. No member sponsorship is required and, no probationary periods!
• Do members need to live in Babylon Village to join LIYC? No! We have members from all over Long Island…even as far as Brooklyn and Manhattan. All are welcome!
• What is the cost of membership? Similar to country clubs and other family based memberships, our rates are tiered to match the number of people in your household. To inquire about our current rates that would match your needs, please call our clubhouse at 631.669.3270 and speak to Corey or Ryan.
• Is there an initiation fee or an application fee to join LIYC? The first year you become a member, you are required to pay our initiation fee. As long as you keep your membership current each year, the initiation fee only applies in year 1.
• Do I need to have a boat to be a member? No. All boaters who have a slip in our marina must be members. But not all members have boat slips. In fact, most of our members do not have boat slips and are here to enjoy the pool, events, private beach, dining options and access to the Great South Bay.
• Do I need to be a member to dock a boat at the marina Yes, a club membership is required for dockage services. However, you do no need to own a boat to be a member.
• As a member, can we bring guests? Yes. However, we ask that you help us protect the member experience. Guests enjoying the club more than three visits during our summer season, should consider their own membership. Guest fees apply when visitors use the pool. There are no applicable fees for having guests join us for dinner and drinks.
• Who makes up the membership? Our members come from all over Long Island. Some have boats and some do not. We like to say we are the most inclusive privately owned club around. We do not require sponsorship for annual membership nor are there residency restrictions to be part of the club family. Whether you are a young family or a retired couple, you can make your special memories at the LIYC.
• What does club membership offer? Membership to the LIYC is annual. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, we offer exclusive use of our Olympic sized pool, access to dining, clubhouse events, private beach and a 74 boat slip marina with access to the Save The Great South Bay for all. Whether you take a paddleboard out to explore the Babylon Village canals or rent a slip for a jetski or boat, you get to spend your summer on the water!
• Do you have membership tiers? We do not. As an inclusive private club, we offer the same membership class to all. Our pricing structure is based on the number of people in your household.
• Dockage Our marina offers a wonderful dockage option for the boating season. The cost of a boat slip is in addition to membership.

Since 1871, the North Shore Yacht Club has offered pleasure in many forms:

Founded in 1871, the North Shore Yacht Club is one of the two oldest yacht clubs on Long Island Sound and celebrated its 150th commissioning in 2020. Since 1933, the Club has been located on the north shore of Manhasset Bay with a splendid view while protected from most heavy blows.

Originally the New York Canoe Club, it is among the foremost pioneers of yachting in America. Canoeing (with sails) was first on the Hudson and East Rivers and New York Bay, and an August 1872 the New York Times carried accounts of club racing in the Narrows, long before there was a Verrazano-Narrows bridge.

Today, the Club’s fleet of mostly sailboats ranges from one-designs to ocean going auxiliaries…of course plenty of state-of- the art kayaks too. Its diverse membership includes new sailors and experienced blue water racers and cruisers. During busy summer weekends two first class launches are operated, assuring prompt, reliable service to and from members’ boats. Active cruising, racing, social and education activities provided in and off-season contribute to an environment which generates lifelong friendships. Junior Sailing Camp,   Boat Share & Laser Sailing Program, round out the Club’s attractiveness for all ages.

Be sure to check out our Racing and Cruising pages, and not to miss our Galley , with delicious recipes – all pages that can be found in this section!

This is the destination!!!! By Land or Sea! Regarding the spending comment from below, tell me where on Long Island can you go out to dinner where you spend less than 100 in one night. Getting chinese food delivered home is about 50. The spending chit is 120 per month! Add this with breathtaking views and ample free parking. This place takes the cake. The food, atmosphere are divine as well as you are welcomed by a bunch of hard working fellow Islanders' as members with one common interest FUN. This place will make you marvel at the 6.5 Rolling acres of tennis courts, swimming pool, tiki bar, 65 slip Marina. This is the Gem of the south shore! Chef Dana and the staff is nothing less than amazing as well. Bravo LIYC Bravo!

Visited as a guest of a family member. Overall, the staff was unprofessional to the extent lifeguards were seemingly sleeping in their chairs or cussing in front of small children. The servers stand around on their mobiles while dishes pike up on the tables. The grounds need work, look a bit ruggish. I recommended my brother and family join another establishment until this club gets its act together.

Was there for a party. Beautiful atmosphere. Food is excellent service even better. Planning on having my next event there

Came here post-Mayor's Cup sailboat race on Saturday. They had live music, a semi-open bar, and free hotdogs. The actual building is very pretty, and the grounds nicely kept. I am not a member of the Yacht Club, but do attend the awards ceremony for the Mayors Cup every year. Everyone is always extremely friendly, and it's always a great time.

I'm a current member as of 2014.. Very family friendly.. Great pool.. Stunning location.. Very relaxed feel.. But here lies the problem.. Food service is the issue!! With a $120 monthly minimum food and beverage, it's hard to stomach the poor service from the servers and the kitchen.. Slow slow slow service time and time again.. Tonight dinner was an embarrassment. For the 4rd straight time service took well over an hour and the food was all raw not under cooked but raw and cold.. One dinner took 1.45 and when the food did come out my guest's order was missing.. It showed up 30 min after my guests walked out! I can never bring a guest here.. My wife is embarrassed and doesn't want to return.. The GM is trying to correct the issues but I'm not seeing the results yet! At current I'm not returning next year!

My husband and I recently hosted our wedding celebration at the Long Island Yacht Club and we are so happy with our experience with the venue, the food, and the service! We are not members of the club (we live in California) but by a stroke of good fortune, we stopped by after last Labor Day and met Diane, the events coordinator. We learned that non-members could host events there during the off-season (and boy, is a January wedding off-season!). We loved the recently repainted and remodeled gathering space, which has two fireplaces, a separate bar area, as well as large round dining tables and couches. There are tons of windows, so the space was bright and well-lit (which is better than a lot of banquet spaces we looked at in the area). We felt like we were hosting our family in our home - Diane did a fantastic job creating a comfortable, welcoming environment. Chef Matt prepared a great buffet (we had a lot of options to choose from), amazing appetizers and dessert. With the help of a local florist, we added some small decor, we brought our own sheet cake, and that was really all the coordinating we had to do. They have the ability to display a slideshow and play a Spotify playlist, so we showed pics from our wedding in California. All in all, we're so happy we met Diane and were able to host exactly the kind of classy party we wanted.

Love this place. I have eaten dinner here a number of times with both family and friends. The facilities and grounds have undergone a major change under the new ownership. Please don't confuse this with older posts that speak to a minimum spend per month imposed upon members. That is not the case. As far as the dining goes I had the best duck I have ever eaten in my life and I've had it in quite a few places. The crab cakes were amazing and the short ribs were to die for. This is a terrific place and anyone living in Babylon Village should explore a membership as the LIYC is truly a gem.

What a shame! Shame on this so called Yacht club! It was so evident that this so called friendly yacht club has its biased KKK officers running the show. Executive Committee Commodore, John Sparagano Vice Commodore, Steve Vid Rear Commodore, Ken Jacobs Secretary,Jeanette Marino Treasurer, Brian Richmond The club is not filled with relatively few boats but that is because of the small minds running the place. My fiance requested info and was invited to an open house. They bought him drinks, food, showed him the place and welcomed him with open arms. When I came along with him and the so called application which was told to him to be a mere formality not to worry you are part of our family! You guessed it I come with him and all of a sudden they have to vote to see if he is a good match for the club I AM BLACK! The boat is in my name, I am a professional and my fiance is out of work and a little down on his luck that is why we were going to join the club........well not now! This is a clear case of bias and should not be tolerated I wonder if the Reverend Al Sharpton owns a boat?

Lloyd Harbor Yacht Club We are the premiere racing organization in and around Huntington Bay. Founded in 1966, the Lloyd Harbor Yacht Club is truly a club for sailors. With one hundred members, we are dedicated to enjoying, perfecting and practicing the fine art of sailing. Whether it’s racing, cruising or just gunkholing on weekends, our schedule of events offers members activities to suit their needs. A Water-Based Club LHYC devotes its time and resources to providing an environment on the water that is conducive to our members’ activities. We sponsor and run over twenty-five races each season, many of them YRA qualifying races. As we have no land based clubhouse to support and maintain, we provide moorings in Lloyd Harbor, Port Jefferson and Block Island for the exclusive use of our members On Shore Activities A full schedule of shore-side activities complements our water-based focus. We have an annual picnic and barbecue, a new-member cocktail party, and land cruises to various interesting locations during the off season. The annual Awards Dinner and Dance and holiday party are highlights of our social season. Our charitable activities include assisting the Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society in the amazing restoration of the light and her foundation. LHYC also hosts several meetings during the off-season, with speakers and topics of special interest. Lloyd Harbor Yacht Club enjoys an outstanding reputation throughout Long Island Sound. Our membership and continuing recruitment of sailors who want to take part in the learning experience makes this possible. We are looking for such sailors to fill out our current roster. If you would like to join one of our Friday night raft-ups and meet a few members, or want more information about the Club, contact the Membership Chairperson or any Officer.

Welcoming the New York elite to the East End, the Yacht Club’s inaugural membership included names like Vincent Astor, J.P. Morgan, Edsel Ford, and Harold S. Vanderbilt, and guests like famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, who often flew his seaplane into the harbor to dock at the marina.  In 2022, the property was acquired by Safe Harbor Marinas with the vision of bringing new life into the storied Yacht Club, initiating a new chapter for the historic property. In 2024, Proper Hospitality took leadership over management & operations, introducing its award-winning take on luxury lifestyle hospitality to the Hamptons.

North Shore Add to quote A friend of mine is writing about the struggles of many Yacht Clubs today. What would be considered the most "exclusive" clubs on Long Island today? Similar to Larchmont YC or American YC? I would guess Seawanhaka, but I am only speculating. Any insight?????? Thanks!   I agree, and from what I gather, that is the theme of what she is writing about. Actually across the board, club membership is declining. But the appeal of exclusive clubs has been declining for decades. I would guess Seawanhaka is the most exclusive. Maybe Shelter Island (not north shore) also.   BobMcGov, You had me going for a moment until your link was for the same article I already read about Knickerbocker closing. Very funny! I bet I would flunk the DNA test and I don't even know 1 senator. It is believable that they might have re-opened while trying to get the Palm Beach and Miami crowd but Manhasset just ain't in Florida... Didn't Bernie Made-off belong to an exclusive club in West Palm that had to issue an 'assessment' to it's members after his empire crumbled? Soundbounder, I am not familiar with the club on Shelter Island but it sounds like it could be fairly snooty, although not technically the 'north shore'. I am familiar with Seawanhaka on Center Island though. A buddy of mine who went to SUNY Maritime by the Throggs Neck Bridge was briefly a launch operator there back in the late 80's. One of his favorite stories was when he went out to pick up a passenger from a boat who turned out to be Whoopie Goldberg. It was a blowy and bouncy night and there was some formal 'affair' going on at the club which she was headed too. Apparently her fancy hat blew off and my friend retrieved it for her and let her off at the dock. Her star had not risen quite fully by then. Interestingly, Whoopie Goldberger does not like flying and has her own full sized bus for traveling across country - no airports for Whoopie! I am not sure if it was a power or sail boat but my guess would be that it was a stink pot that she came in on. If not Seawanhaka what about NYYC (again, not the north shore of LI)?   Knickerbocker wasn't very upscale, nor snooty. I stopped there once in a twenty foot wooden sloop and they treated me like a friend. I was at Shelter I. once on a bigger boat, they didn't seem very friendly. I'd rather see a list of the least exclusive clubs. I've no interest in snobs.   Just musing on the topic.... The Yacht Club/Country Club may be a fading model because of evolutionary changes in US society, socialization patterns, and preferences for manifesting wealth. Americans have never been comfortable with the idea of aristocracy, even as elevate our own royalty from the ranks of merchant princes. We are an aspirational and materialist people but at the same time dislike talking about our incomes or having other people wave their riches under our noses -- even if their riches are our own dearest desire. So Blue-Blood social institutions like Yacht Clubs have always held a strange & ambivalent status in America. Nowadays, you can't smoke at the bar; your doctor says you shouldn't sit around drinking cocktails for six hours; a greater percentage of our money is spent on housing (bigger, fancier houses), utilities, automobiles, and health care. Time has been compressed for most people -- how many here really work a forty hour week? How many take entire weekends off? I don't. I can't. A fifty or sixty hour work week is the new normal, even for salaried or self-employed people. Less discretionary income, less social time. Lots of fraternal social organizations are hurting for membership: the Elks, Rotary Clubs, Masonic lodges, and yacht clubs. There are, I suspect, deeper reasons than just money and time: a general turning-away from group interaction and The Commons, and a loss of social mechanisms that attend group activity. Americans have never been especially great at collective enterprise; we're a go-our-own-way sort of people, have been since our founding. Yacht Clubs are collectivist or co-operative entities, and they suffer when people are no longer interested in working or playing together. Two new models have emerged, and I foresee most YCs being replaced by one or the other: The upscale retail waterfront with condos and rented slips (ala Marina Del Rey); and the sole proprietor, the extremely wealthy individual who buys the frontage, bulldozes the YC, builds a mansion, and parks his Wally out front. Spends two months a year there. It's his fifth such house. YCs belong to the middling wealthy and the aspirational bourgeoise. We tend today toward the hyper-rich and the not-rich, and the remaining somewhat-rich have turned away from group social pursuits. That leaves YCs in a bad place. As for the hyper-rich.... They build egregious mega yachts like Tatoosh and the Maltese Falcon and take their private yacht club with them, as it were. Then they can absolutely control who gets admitted and what events are scheduled, without resort to committees and YC politics.   Lots of fraternal social organizations are hurting for membership: the Elks, Rotary Clubs, Masonic lodges, and yacht clubs.

I think you really touch on something in this particular paragraph. The one part I would disagree with is that during the first 2/3 of the 20th Century, civic and social clubs were widespread. Most Americans belonged to a PTA, Lions Club, Elks, or Country Club. Somewhere in the late 1960's through the early 1980's, the membership numbers started declining. There is a book that discusses the trend called BOWLING ALONE Click to expand... I belong to one of the oldest yacht clubs on the north shore of Long Island. Founded in 1891. However our operating model is different from the ones mentioned - no bar, no restaurant, no pool, no tennis courts, workdays where everyone pitches in get things done, etc. What do have is a well equipped kitchen and commercial BBQ grills so members can prepare their own dinners, a wraparound porch over the water for dining, an active junior sailing program, and launch service and winter storage for boat owners. Ours dues are low - a bit higher than the municipal facilities, but well below the nearby clubs or commercial marinas. Because of all this our membership is increasing and we may soon need a waiting list. So there is a demand for yacht clubs, just not perhaps for the full-service expensive ones.   There's always the New Youk Yacht Club which has extensions in places on the water.   From west to east, there's the Manhasset Bay Club, then Sea Cliff YC in Hempstead Harbor, Sewanhaka in Oyster Bay, then Huntington YC, Centerport YC, Northport YC. There are others, but these are the nicest.   I think online forums are replacing in-person clubs to a degree. For several years I flew airplanes as a member of a flying club. It was priceless being able to sit around the big table and talk about things flying. For instance, I asked every quesiton I could about icing, prior to a flight from MD to VT in a Piper 180. turns out we had a lot of icing on the return trip. Had I not had the opportunities that a club offers, I wouldn't even have known the first thing about icing. Online forums fulfill that to an extent. Still, it's difficult to split a cold one over the Internet. I could see myself joining one of the local clubs, given the $ to do so. Anyone know what the costs are? Regards, Brad   I found the Triangle Yacht Club in Greenport to be the friendliest and most down to earth, definately not pretentious but good ,cheap, cold beer and only about $60./year membership. They are also right at the end of my slip so very convenient. Presently gearing up for Thanksgiving Get together!
