Hampton Yacht Club
The HYC summer sailing program offers something for everyone age 5-18 and is open to the public! As a legacy member, Hampton yacht Club has always held a very special place in my heart. I remember walking the docks here at a very young age, holding my grandfathers' hand /Now I have the privilege of watching my father do the same with my young son!

The people who have sustained this club for so many years are not just members, but truly adherents to the club's yachting mission, and they have always supported the club with such evident passion. Over the more than 100 years of its history, the club remains the perfect fit for our extended family that enjoys being near, on or in the waters.

Vary nice . Floating docks are well maintained. Clubhouse and bar are good . Members only. No live aboard. $ per foot best in the area. No junky boats.

The actual coach shows extreme preference to some students, even he screams!! When his favorite wins and not cheers others. Wow,
I am not involve on sailing but I could observe some preferences.

Though I knew where the HYC was (having lived in nearby Norfolk for a number of year I'd never been in the clubhouse.
My bride and I were in Hampton for the Snowbird Rendezvous (boaters headed south for the winter).
The closing banquet was held there. The facilities had all of the flavor of a properly designed 1st class yacht club.
The meal...Oh my! The prime rib prepared by Chef Michael was the best we have ever had...anytime or anywhere else in my 70+ years!
The complete dinner, desert and presentation was nonpareil!

Fun friendly yacht club with Great food, drinks and a Happy Hour with hors d'oeuvres on Friday night.
The members (I'd say mostly sailors ) were welcoming and friendly walking up and introducing themselves.
Enjoyed my evening at the HYC

Had a wonderful time at the wedding reception of friends. The view of the water and the boats docked there as the sun went down was lovely. Parking was a bit nerve wracking as we were worried about getting towed.

An amazing place to visit. Beautiful scenery. Stop by on Wednesday at 6:00 pm for a free yacht ride with Phil on the sailboat Feather. He is an amazing 88 eight year old who is the fastest one in all the races. Food is excellent there too!

Privately owned establishment. I'm only familiar with the smaller casual grill and bar on the lower floor. The actually Marina is 5/5...
This isn't a place to show up as a tourist or non-member not knowing anyone unless you were deliberately checking it out for that reason...
