The Poughkeepsie Yacht Club is a small private social yacht club based in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York, founded in 1892. The club offers boat rentals, social events, and membership opportunities. Our members come from all over the tri-state area and have a common desire: a love for boating. The club is located on the Eastern shore in the heart of the scenic Hudson Valley, on a quiet and beautiful part of the Hudson River, about halfway between New York City and Albany.
