We're all about the fun, friendship, and community to be had "messing around in boats, " and getting together afterward at one of the prettiest spots on Long Island Sound. With a 130+ year racing tradition and more than 100 days of racing each season, our members' commitment to the sport speaks for itself.

We are a volunteer-driven club with racing, social, cruising, and other sailing-related activities that appeal to sailors of different skills, experience, and interests. In addition to our vibrant racing, junior sailing, and women's sailing programs we host an extensive regatta schedule including numerous regional and national championships.

Cedar Point Yacht Club (CPYC) is located on Bluff Point as part of Saugatuck Island in Westport, Connecticut, overlooking Long Island Sound at the mouth of the Saugatuck River. The property was designed with sailboat racing in mind, and the facilities are perfectly suited for running a wide variety of one-design and handicap races and social activities afterwards.
Cedar Point Yacht Club welcomes visiting yachts, including flotillas from other yacht clubs. We have dock space and depths to 8' at Mean Low Water (MLW) in our well protected basin on a space-available basis and can usually accommodate cruises from other clubs on holiday weekends. Most slips have 30 amp electric service (a few have 50 amp) and fresh water hookups.

Cedar Point Yacht Club is one of the finest adult and Jr. Sailing clubs on Long Island sound - it has had and produced many national sailing champions.
