Racing is the mainstay of the Sayville Yacht Club and we’ve held regattas every single year since we became reestablished in Blue Point.

The Sayville Yacht Club has come a long way since 1901. Its name is known for the sailing events that have drawn sailors to its waters from the United States, South America and Europe. Some Sayville Yacht Club sailors have become well known for their sailing accomplishments on the Bay, nationally and abroad. Besides traveling to national and international championships some sailors have endured stringent Olympic trials.

At The SYC 

In addition to a sailing tradition the SYC is equally proud of its hospitality. Sailors should feel free to avail themselves of club amenities. Cash is accepted at the bar and snack bar. No dress code exists.Getting to the SYC 

BY SEA 

Sayville Yacht Club is located at Lat 40° 44’00” N, Long 73° 02’07” W. The light signal on the flag pole is Red over White over RED 

BY AIR 

The area is serviced by three major airports and several civil air fields. The closest and easiest is Long Island Macarthur with Southwest Air being the dominant carrier. 

John F. Kennedy International Airport has flights to most places in the US as well as the world. From JFK public transportation is available via the Airtrain with a connection at Jamaica Station to the Long Island Railroad.

Take the Long Island Railroad to the Sayville Station and its is approximately a $10 taxi ride to the Sayville Yacht Club. The third airport is LaGuardia. While many domestic carriers serve this airport it is the most difficult to use, having little public transportation. A taxi from here will be in excess of $120. Private cars are a better alternative and service both JFK and LaGuardia however the cost is about the same and advanced booking is required. 

BY RAIL 

The Long Island Railroad services Long Island from Pennsylvania Station at 34th St. in New York City. Amtrak has some service to Penn Station. Boarding at Penn, look for a Montauk or Babylon Branch train with stops at Sayville. Again, approximately a $10 taxi to the club from Sayville Station. Rail schedules can be found at http://new.mta.info/lirr.
