The Poughkeepsie Yacht Club is a small private social yacht club based in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York. The Club is one of the earliest yachting institutions in America and founded in 1892. The Club's members have contributed to the sport of yachting, sailing, rowing, and ice-boating. We are open to non-boaters and boaters alike (see OFFERINGS).
Rudy has been a long time member of the PYC serving on various committees such as dock building and has run the mooring committee for many years. Rudy and his wife Alison enjoy sailing the Ketch to Long Island and enjoying the Hudson River. Vice Commodore Mike Capra has been boating on the Hudson River since he was a teenager.

BEWARE!!! NO ADA SERVICE DOGS ARE ALLOWED AROUND PYC’S (POUGHKEEPSIE YACHT CLUB) PATIO/PORCH, CLUBHOUSE, GRASS AREA, AND PARKING LOT. NO EXCEPTION. PERIOD.
Leashed Service dogs and pets are only permitted on docks to gain access to boats. To relieve themselves, the owner must walk the peripheral boundaries to the railroad track area. (See picture).
Since PYC is a private membership club, it does not have to comply with ADA regulations. Costs to modify for compliance are too exorbitant for PYC. On the upside, not all private yacht clubs along the Hudson River take that same position. Most welcome

We stayed at PYC for three nights based on a suggestion in a blog and with no idea what to expect. This is not your ordinary yacht club. The members are active in all aspects of the marina operation. They are also the nicest, most helpful and accommodating people we have met thus far on the loop. When we arrived, the member that met us did an excellent job of getting us tied up in spite of a strong current's effort to keep us off the dock. He and his wife offered us leftovers in the fridge from the party earlier in the day and helpful information. The day we left, two members helped us pump out
