SEAWANHAKA CORINTHIAN YACHT CLUB

Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club is a private, member-owned yacht club located on beautiful Centre Island in Oyster Bay, New York. Since 1871, our members have demonstrated a passion for sailing and maritime history. The Club offers a variety of sailing and boating activities that include team racing, ladies sailing, PHRF racing, fleet racing, local cruising, distance racing, junior sailing and long distance cruising. We proudly host world-class regattas, social activities and events. Our Clubhouse offers fine and casual dining as well as a relaxing atmosphere to unwind after a day on-the-water or ashore. Our full-service Boatyard is available for comprehensive yacht repair and maintenance for all members and select non-member customers. The Service Dock monitors VHF Channel 10, click here for additional information. The Junior Club is the center of activity, ideal for classroom instructions, casual dining in winter months, and indoor activities during the junior summer program. 

We are continually improving facilities and our staff is eager to help you enjoy the new season at Seawanhaka. We hope you will make extensive use of the Club and its services! Click here to follow us on facebook.

As of Wednesday, June 24th, we will now be opening the West Porch as well as indoor dining in the East Porch. At this time, we will not be opening the Model Room, unless weather prohibits outdoor dining. As we are required to maintain no more than 50% occupancy for indoor dining, reservations will be required. Due to our limited capacity restraints, reciprocal dining privileges are suspended at SCYC until further notice. Please note, to be able to provide a safe and enjoyable experience, our staff are following rigorous safety procedures. This may require us to close reservations as well as cause a delay in service. Your patience is appreciated.

Junior News
12/9/19
This year, the Junior Activities Committee supported the Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor Protection Committee in its initiative to regrow oyster beds to provide cleaner water. Our juniors grew 1,000 oysters to maturity and put them in an oyster spawner sanctuary at the bottom of our harbor. It was the perfect opportunity to educate our juniors on the importance of respecting and protecting our marine environment.
