A small kitchen comes in handy for special events, but there's no regular dining room service. The smiling photographs adorning the walls, though, suggest this is a good place to have some fun. It's the sort of club where venture capitalists and middle-managers can rub elbows and toast their mutual love for the sea. The AHYC is one of the more affordable clubs around. The docks of the Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club extend into Raritan Bay.
Many people just enjoy the camaraderie in the clubhouse.
Anyone who wants a sail has plenty of opportunities, though. The members who race on the weekends and Wednesday evenings are always looking for additional crew members, be they old salts or raw novices. Sailors prize the club for its convenient location. From Sandy Hook Bay they have easy access to New York City, Long Island Sound and points north, like Newport, R.I and Martha's Vineyard. Every fall the club sees numerous Canadians who stop there to stock up for their journeys to their winter havens in Florida.
