West Bay Yacht Club
Celebrating 50 Years
About West Bay Yacht Club
Since 1975, the West Bay Yacht Club has been the heart of a small but passionate
boating community on Narragansett Bay. What started as a group of friends who loved to sail has grown into a welcoming club known for its camaraderie, affordable
membership, and active racing and cruising programs. Over the decades, we’ve weathered storms, literally and figuratively, but one thing hasn’t changed: our commitment to being “The Friendliest Little Club on the Bay.”
