Welcome to the Northport Yacht Club

The Northport Yacht Club was founded in 1939 in the village of Bayside in Northport Maine. 

Our mission as stated in the original charter:

• To encourage the sport of boating and sailing;
• To promote the science of seamanship and navigation;
• To provide members with an opportunity to participate in a variety of boating and/or social activities;
• To provide and maintain a suitable clubhouse for recreation and use by our members.

The Northport Yacht Club is much more than a club for boaters and boat owners. The club has always taken the fulfillment of the social aspects of our charter directives seriously. Only a minority of our members participate in sailing races or go on club cruises. Most join simply to have fun, meet people and participate in social activities in and for the general Bayside Community. It is the social aspects of the club that keeps members coming back.
