Welcome to the Annapolis Yacht Club
World class racing, extensive cruising, championship junior sailing, and fantastic facilities. That's what you would expect from one of the oldest yacht clubs in the country.
Founded as an informal canoe club in 1883, the Annapolis Yacht Club has built a tradition of excellence. Our mission is to encourage and support a wide range of boating activities, and to provide and maintain a suitable clubhouse and associated facilities for the recreational and social use of its members.
Important Traffic Notice for Fourth of July
The City of Annapolis has posted pedestrian and vehicular traffic restrictions during the afternoon and evening events on the Fourth of July. If you plan on visiting the clubhouse that day, please read this announcement carefully and plan ahead to avoid headaches and frustration.

In addition, vehicular traffic into the north side of the Eastport Peninsula will be restricted between 5:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.; pedestrian traffic will be permitted. The Spa Creek Bridge will be closed to traffic at 9:00 p.m.
Vehicular traffic will be denied access to the Downtown area beginning at 5:00 p.m. until approximately 10:30 p.m. Roadblocks will be set up at Sixth Street and Severn Avenue to deny access to the Downtown area via the Eastport (Spa Creek) Bridge. Roadblocks will be set up at the following Downtown locations:
- King George Street and College Avenue
- Prince George Street and College Avenue
- North Street and College Avenue
- Church Circle and Main Street
- Duke of Gloucester Street and Conduit Street
- Duke of Gloucester Street and Green Street

- Duke of Gloucester Street and Compromise Street
All other streets contained within the boundaries of the United States Naval Academy, College Avenue, Duke of Gloucester Street and Compromise Street will be closed to all but residents of the area.
Traffic will be allowed to flow down Duke of Gloucester Street from Church Circle and into Eastport until 9:00 p.m. when Duke of Gloucester Street will be closed to ensure pedestrian safety and to facilitate the movement of the crowd on foot exiting the area following the fireworks display.

Please note that there will be a roadblock at the corner of Duke of Gloucester and Compromise Street starting at 5 p.m. restricting traffic from reaching the main parking lot at the clubhouse. In years past, members with valid parking stickers displayed on their windshields have been permitted to make the left turn from Duke onto Compromise. This privilege is granted at the discretion of the City police officers on duty and there is no guarantee that you will be able to reach the main parking lot after 5 p.m.
The AYC shuttle bus will run from the annex continuously throughout the evening when permitted by City police. The schedule calls for the Eastport bridge to be closed to traffic at 9 p.m. to create a viewing pier for pedestrians. During this time, the shuttle bus will not be permitted to run between the annex and the main clubhouse.
