Welcome to the Old Point Comfort Yacht Club (OPCYC)!  Our club is dedicated to having fun on the water in the company of other boaters and we promote safe boating in all forms - sail and power, racing, cruising, maritime training and social camaraderie for our members and guests.  Club members range in skill from seasoned open-ocean mariners, to experienced Chesapeake Bay sailors, and from novices new to boating to members with no boats at all.  Our club has a reputation for down-to-earth friendliness and members can be counted on to help you out on your sail or power vessel, whether it is as crew, installing a part, sympathizing about your skinned knuckles - or all three.

​

Our clubhouse is located across the parking lot from the Old Point Comfort Marina on historic Fort Monroe.  We are delighted to be part of the vibrant and growing Fort Monroe community.  Our club is ideally situated on the southern Chesapeake Bay, one of the world's premier boating waters, an easy cruise to ports in Hampton Roads, along the James, Elizabeth, and York Rivers, and Mobjack Bay, as well as the lower Eastern Shore and beyond.  We also enjoy the benefits of all that Hampton, VA has to offer including numerous marinas, waterfront restaurants, museums and a historic downtown with a public pier.

​

OPCYC has activities year 'round, from boating in the spring, summer and fall, to the well-respected Pointer Maritime University in the winter, and at least one social get-together a month.  For our younger boaters, we offer student memberships and also sponsor the very active Sea Scout Ship 1610 that joins us in  boating activities throughout the year.  We celebrate our camaraderie with the formal Commodore's Ball in January each year.

​

OPCYC is a member of the following Yachting organizations:  The Unites States Sailing Association, The Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association, The Chesapeake Bay Yacht Club Association and is on the Register of American Yacht Clubs.  Many of our members use our reciprocal privileges to visit yacht clubs far and wide.
