Monomoy Yacht Club is located in Chatham, MA, on the elbow  of Cape Cod, with the Atlantic Ocean to the East and Nantucket Sound to the South. 

The mission of Monomoy Yacht Club is to

• encourage and sponsor boating activities and events

• promote the science of seamanship and navigation

• conduct year-round programs and social activities

• build and develop camaraderie among members

• provide and maintain a suitable Club House and facilities for the recreation and use of its members

Membership is drawn primarily from the towns of Chatham and Harwich, both of which have shorelines on both the ocean and the Sound.

The Yacht Club has two fleets - the East Fleet based in waters that open to the Atlantic, and the South Fleet on Nantucket Sound's harbors and inlets.

On-the-water recreation  include activities for power boats and  sailboats, and kayaking. 

Members can participate in both fleets' activities - one day as captain of one's own boat in home waters, and another day as crew or guest in the other fleet's waters.

The social calendar includes events at the Club House, beach parties, and luncheons and dinners at local venues or on chartered vessels.

The Club sponsors boating information and training seminars for members,  and an annual Harbor Update that is open to the public.

Volunteering is an important element in the Club's sense of community, as all activities are all-volunteer.

The Club was chartered, and incorporated, as the Orleans Yacht Club, Inc. on September 22, 1947. Founding members included Harry Snow, Edgar Downs, Helen Smith, Mrs. Norman Downs, Dr. Fred Raddin and Jarrett Blodgett, who became the first Commodore. The purpose of the Club as stated in the Charter is: "to encourage yacht building and sailing, to promote interest in yachting and aquatic sports, as well as social intercourse among its members, and to secure and maintain suitable buildings and equipment to accomplish these purposes."

The first Clubhouse was Edgar Downs' boat house located in the southwest corner of Town Cove and it is still visible today as a privately-owned guest cottage. The current Clubhouse was built on land donated by Henry K. Cummings of Orleans. It has been enlarged and modified several times over the years to what you see today.

The OYC actively encourages sailing and maintains a fleet of its own sail & power boats in order to promote its sailing programs. The OYC has run a popular summer junior sailing program (JSP) since 1947 and also offers an Adult Sailing Program to current members. It’s the home for Nauset Regional High School Sailing Team’s practices and regattas, the DaySailer Fleet 15 ’s races every Sunday, as well as being the host for the annual Sherborn Yacht Club's Yankee Duo Sunfish Regatta . Furthering its marine involvement, the OYC hosts the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary’s and the Cape Cod Power Squadron's boating courses every year.

The OYC's dedication to the "social interaction among its members" is evident from the variety of the many social activities throughout the year; these events include a progressive dinner, lobster/clam bake, a Commodore’s reception (every two years), holiday themed parties, weekly summer picnic nights, bingo/casino nights, dance parties, weekly suppers & Friday Night cocktail parties. All of which are enthusiastically participated in by its Members.

The OYC also supports a 501c3 charitable organization known as The Robert Radtke Memorial Fund, Inc. which provides sailing scholarships for the Orleans Yacht Club’s Junior Sailing Program.
