Moriches Yacht Club

As part of that ceremony, the club recognized the last four active original Charter Members, who in 1949, each donated $100 toward the purchase of the Union Ave property in 1950, and we have been here ever since. Initiated as a sailboat racing club in 1899, Moriches Yacht Club only met in the summer months. Members would host dinners at their homes and local hotels, and following a period of sharing a club, inactive periods, and many attempts to reorganize during the 1920’s and 30’s, Moriches Yacht Club finally had its very own clubhouse on the bay, with the first social event held in 1951.Moriches Yacht Club has come a long way since its humble beginnings, yet remains true to tradition, fundamentally dedicated to yachting, sportsmanship, sociability, and recreation for its members and their children. Moriches Yacht Club started the 21st century off on a new path when members elected their first female Commodore in the year 2000, and Moriches Yacht Club has not looked back. Today, club members and their guests can enjoy a beautiful three-acre site on Moriches Bay, and a comfortable clubhouse equipped with a dining room, bar, galley, alongside a swimming pool and marina.
