Brockport Yacht Club (BYC) is a premier Rochester area yacht club.
Welcome to our premier sailing yacht club on beautiful Lake Ontario just a few miles west of Rochester, NY! How would define a premier yacht club? We define it as a close knit community of sailing enthusiasts who share a passion for the water, the wind, and the art of sailing.
We also define premier as being a “Do-It-Yourself” organization. We opt-out of the high dues, expensive slips, and minimum bar/restaurant monthly tabs and instead focus on working together to keep dues reasonable. Members take active roles in the planning and running of social events, club maintenance, club meetings, club spring opening, fall winterizing, and boat launch and haul-out work parties.
Located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, our club boasts some of the best sailing conditions in the region. The lake is known for its consistent winds and clear, fresh water, making it the perfect playground for sailors. Whether you’re looking to learn how to sail, race competitively, or just enjoy a leisurely cruise on the lake with friends and family, our club has something for everyone of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned veterans. We offer a full calendar of events throughout the sailing season, including regattas, races, and social events.
Our facilities include a two story clubhouse with a meeting room and kitchen, as well as showers and changing rooms. Our outdoor pavilion serves as the focal point for summertime social actives. We also have a well-maintained sailboat and powerboat available for members to use. Our club also has a beautiful, well maintained sandy beach along the lakefront for members to enjoy – a rarity for other clubs along the lake.
At our club, we value safety, sportsmanship, and camaraderie. We believe that sailing is not just a sport, but a way of life, and we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive community for all who share our love of the water.
Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just starting out, we invite you to come and join us on the water and experience the thrill of sailing on Lake Ontario.
