Edgewood Yacht Club is more than just a place for boating!
Your Home on The Water
Edgewood Yacht Club is more than just a place to keep your boat. Whether you own a boat, want to own one someday, or like to be near the water, EYC has a lot to offer. We have memberships that cover boat owners and dry sailors of all ages.
Our newly re-built clubhouse is our home away from home and a great center for activities year round. Perched high above the water, the views are second to none.
Our season runs from opening day in May to October. During the season, you can join racing series, cookouts, catered dinners, open houses, and more. We organize an annual club cruise to surrounding ports - a great way to get to know Narragansett Bay with friends.
When the season is over, we continue to offer land-based activities in our clubhouse. We host monthly trivia nights, musical bingo, catered dinners, and more. On Sundays, come to the clubhouse & bar to eat, drink, and watch football. And if you're brave enough, you can participate in our frostbite series on Sundays throughout the winter.
All members have access to club facilities and activities, including the Borrow-A-Boat program. Additionally, all members can store a small boat (eg. small sailboat, kayak, or other small boat) in a dry sail rack.
- Full Membership – This entitles the member, or member family to have a boat in the slips or on a mooring.
- Dry Sail Membership – A social membership for those that want to enjoy what EYC has to offer.
- Young Adult Full Membership – Full membership at a discounted rate for those between the ages of 19 and 35.
- Junior Membership – A social membership at a significant discount for those 18 and under, who are not part of a family membership.
Come join us for a cool drink on a hot summer night and grill on the T-dock after a day of boating!

…and much, much, more!!!
There is more than boating at Edgewood Yacht Club!
For more than 125 continuous years, EYC has promoted boating, cruising, sailing, and racing on Narragansett Bay and its surrounding waters.
🗓 Opening Day
Each year in mid May, the Edgewood Yacht Club celebrates the history and tradition of the club. Members past and present, local dignitaries, and neighbors gather at EYC to welcome in the new boating season. Everyone is welcome to join us for the annual celebration.
Opening day is led by the Pawtuxet Rangers, one of the oldest existing chartered commands in the country. Our Flag Officers, Board of Governors, and past Commodores head to the club flagstaff to raise the U.S. Ensign, EYC burgee, and Officer flags. The pomp and circumstance of the official flag raising signals the beginning of another boating season and the beginning of regular business hours at Edgewood Yacht Club.
Following opening ceremonies, we serve a hearty breakfast to anyone wishing to be fed - and many do. After a brief interlude, members bring their family and friends on board to participate in a Parade of Sails. Each boat, in full dress fashion, parades in front of the Club marking their return to EYC for the season. As they pass by the main docks, each boat is blessed by our Fleet Chaplain before returning to their slip or mooring.
The day includes other sailing events in the early afternoon and plenty of time to walk the docks to greet members and neighbors. EYC is a great place to spend the summer boating season, explore Narragansett Bay, and hang out with friends, old and new.
In anticipation of every new boating season, we plan a busy schedule of enjoyable summer events. Our diverse membership and volunteer efforts make Edgewood Yacht Club flourish year after year.
🌅 Tuesday Nights on the T-dock
Although Tuesdays are mostly about racing, there’s still a lot of fun to be had at the club for the non-racer! From the T-dock or wraparound deck, you can cheer on the racers, have a post-race dinner, or just soak up the atmosphere of the club. Don’t stay home during the week, celebrate the warm weather and ocean breeze with friends.
🍻 Social Events
The Social Committee at EYC helps maintain a vibrant social atmosphere. The club is always an exciting place to be, with a constant list of activities taking place all season. And, the fun doesn’t stop just because the boating season ends. We coordinate a series of off-season activities to continually bring members together. From grill nights, to rendezvous at sea, to wine and beer tastings, Edgewood Yacht Club is always the place to be for good friends and good times.
🍔 Grill Nights
Join fellow EYC members each Friday to celebrate the start of the boating weekend. There’s a fun race on Friday nights, coinciding with grilled food on the T-dock. It's a great way to catch up with friends, make new friends, and enjoy the atmosphere. With a great view of the upper Bay, we get to enjoy special events, like the Gaspee Day fireworks from Pawtuxet Cove.
⚓️ Events Afloat
During the summer boating season, we schedule numerous events afloat. These include two day, or long weekend cruises to places like the Kickemuit, the Air Show at Quonset, and other short hops in and around the Bay.
