Beverly Yacht Club was established in 1872 to foster racing in small boats.

We endeavor to do this in an informal and welcoming environment. Beverly is a typical yacht club with 500 members, traditional yacht facilities: dock, launches, moorings and visiting yacht facilities, coupled with a kitchen and bar. The club offers daily dining in the summer months, informal "Pub Nite" dining on Fridays all year and regular special events. The club is host to many sailing events including Buzzard's Bay regatta, the Marion Bermuda race and private parties and weddings.
