The Breakwater Yacht Club is a not-for-profit community sailing center founded in 1988 to promote sailing and racing for all ages in the waters of Sag Harbor and Eastern Long Island.

Membership provides an open, friendly and accessible setting where sailors of all abilities and interests can improve their skills, meet new people and help build community. Join us!

The primary mission at Breakwater Yacht Club is teaching people of all ages to sail. The club has developed a recipe for success with formal instruction on land and hands-on application of sailing skills on the water. 

Being competitive on the water comes naturally for many sailors and BYC’s racing program provides a range of outlets for testing those skills. 

Throughout the year, Breakwater Yacht Club not only hosts events geared toward club members and racing, it also offers several sailing outings and fundraisers that benefit the wider community.

In partnership with Team One Newport, the Breakwater Yacht Club Store has everything you need to outfit your crew. Customize items with your boat name, sail number, or anything else!
