Arundel Yacht Club

Founded in 1957, the AYC is a working club based on volunteer activity. Our mission is the enjoyment of boating, waterfront activities, and social events with fellow members in an informal setting. All members are encouraged to participate. Enjoy your cruise around our recently updated site.Whether we’re out for a day of cruising with friends, motoring to Stage Island for beach golf and a picnic or racing against other sailors, we all enjoy our times on the water.Please watch our calendar for upcoming events. Also, keep in touch with fellow members for more spontaneous boating opportunities. Maybe a summer evening sail, a lazy river cruise or some weeknight adult sailing will come your way.And don’t forget our annual Boon Island and Founders Day Races are open to AYC members and non-members alike.During 1957, the Arundel Yacht Club leased the Agnew property on the Kennebunkport side of the Kennebunk River. It used this dock until the winter of 1958-1959 when it signed a three-year lease agreement for the Ropewalk, which was owned by Harrison Fuller. At that time, the building was perpendicular to the river and produced rope. Over the next few years, the club made many improvements to the building and rest rooms, including a kitchen and new pier. After purchasing the building it was turned and moved to its present location.Our members volunteer to help with the upkeep and repairs needed to keep our historic building and grounds safe, functional and a wonderful place to enjoy family, friends and fellow members.
