While you are out strolling, please do stop by the friendliest yacht club in town and see us all decked out for the holidays! Warm up by our blazing fire and enter our free drawing for a 4 hour sail and lunch for up to 4. And enjoy some hot cider - spiced or perhaps spiked - while you browse through the selection of nautical gifts displayed by local vendors with some fabulous live music in the background!
