About Us

The Beverly Yacht Club was established in 1872 with the purpose “to promote yachting and good fellowship among its members.” Located in the charming town of Marion, Massachusetts, the BYC is fortunate enough to sit on one of the world's great sailing and cruising grounds – Sippican Harbor in Buzzards Bay. Our energetic and enthusiastic membership exemplifies camaraderie on and off the water with our active racing, cruising, and junior sailing programs.

The BYC proudly hosts the Marion-Bermuda Race in odd years, along with a number of regional and national championship events. This is made possible by our members’ strong volunteer ethic, race management expertise, and the desire to support and advance the sport at all levels.

Visiting sailors and cruisers are also always welcome, whether you would like to participate in our races, cruise Sippican Harbor, or enjoy a bite to eat on our porch with a beautiful waterfront view. Check out our Visitor Info page for more information.
