Indian Harbor Yacht Club

Our Story

Indian Harbor Yacht Club was founded in 1889 by dedicated sailors intent on being part of the thriving sailing community on Long Island Sound. The club's mission was 'to encourage and foster the sport of yachting, the art of yacht design and construction and the science of seamanship and navigation'. That mission holds true today as our members continue to excel on the race course, embrace the pleasures of cruising and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow members.

Over the years, our members have contributed to the establishment of national organizations that have defined the sport. These include NAYRU, which we know today as US Sailing, the US Power Squadron, the Yacht Racing Union of Long Island Sound and The American Power Boating Association. They have also participated in America’s Cup Syndicates and have organized international regattas for one-design classes, ocean races, and US Youth Championships.

Indian Harbor offers a broad array of on-water activities for its member. Included among these are racing, cruising (power and sail), women’s sailing, youth sailing, learn-to-sail using the club’s fleet of Ideal 18s and kayaking and paddle boarding. But the club also features a rich assortment of onshore activity including some of the finest dining experiences in Fairfield/Westchester county.
