A Small Club With a Big Heart

Since 1975, the West Bay Yacht Club has been the heart of a small but passionate boating community on Narragansett Bay. It began as a group of friends who loved to sail. Today it is a welcoming club known for its camaraderie, affordable membership, and active racing and cruising programs. Over five decades we have weathered our share of storms, on the water and off. One thing has never changed: our commitment to being “The Friendliest Little Club on the Bay.”
