Essex Corinthian Yacht Club

The Essex Corinthian Yacht Club was established in 1984 with the mission to promote friendships within the yachting community, and to enhance our ties to the sea. Our members are proud of our facility and our environment providing good fellowship for active yachtsmen and women. Our club is open to members and their guests eleven months of the year. We welcome the visiting yachting community.

ECYC sponsors many social events and activities throughout the year. In addition, we are involved with many boating activities for both the novice and experienced cruisers and racers. ECYC is actively involved in Frostbite Racing (Spring and Fall Series), Ideal 18 Summer Series, ECSA sanctioned races as well as many cruises throughout the New England Shoreline.

We are located on the waterfront in Essex, CT adjacent to the beautiful Connecticut River. We are just six miles up river from the Old Saybrook Light on Long Island Sound. Our Clubhouse is a brief and enjoyable walk to the village of Essex, CT.

This is a private club. The clubhouse and events are open to members, their guests, and visiting yachtsmen and -women (please refer to reciprocity guidelines for details).
