Welcome to the Port of Washington Yacht Club.

“Because it's just better on the water”

Founded in 2002, our club exists to be The Yacht Club for boating enthusiast of all types.

Our Regular Members include recreational and live-aboard boaters from marinas throughout DC waters, joined by Cruising Members all around the country.

But we are not just boat owners. Our Community Members, DC residents and friends from everywhere, join to experience because its just better on the water!

As you will see in our Photo Albums, we are a very active cruising and social club.  But true to our bylaws, we also give back to our communities and strive to help provide a safe and clean focus on our water environment.  Check out our Event Calendar and consider Joining us today.  

A huge advantage of belonging to POWYC is our affiliations with Yachting Club of America (YCA) and Potomac River Yacht Club Association (PRYCA) offering additional benefits to our members.
