Offerings

The Poughkeepsie Yacht Club (in Hyde Park, NY) is a small yacht club which focuses around social (non-boat owner) events, group activities, kayaking, and of course boating on the Hudson. We really enjoy our view (on life) and think you will too. Feel free to contact us:

The Poughkeepsie Yacht Club is committed to keeping costs below what most other clubs offer on the river. We have the lowest cost boating and social experience for a yacht club in our area on the river.  We are able to offer some of the lowest rates on the river due to our commitment to being a working club.

Within each such social group, a feeling of solidarity prevails, a compelling need to work together and a joy in doing so that represent a high value.
