Welcome to the Prince William Yacht Club Community

Family, Fun, and Safe Boating Since 1992

Welcome to the Prince William Yacht Club (PWYC), a vibrant community dedicated to the joy of life on the water. Since our founding in 1992, we have served as a social hub and a second family for boaters on the Potomac River. We are proud to be an exclusive community for those who call Prince William Marina their home port—membership is open specifically to those who maintain a slip at the marina or who have purchased their vessel from PWM.

If you are part of the PWM family, we invite you to deepen your connection to the water by joining ours. Whether you’re navigating your very first season or have logged thousands of nautical miles, you will find a warm, supportive crew ready to welcome you aboard.

The PWYC Lifestyle 
We believe that boat ownership is about more than just the vessel; it is about the memories you make and the people you share them with.

• Year-Round Activities: The camaraderie at PWYC extends well beyond the summer boating season. Our members enjoy a full social calendar that keeps us connected all year long. From scenic group cruises and relaxed raft-ups on the river to lively dock parties and festive holiday events on land, there is always an opportunity to gather with friends and share stories of the sea.
• Safety & Education: We are committed to making sure every voyage is as safe as it is enjoyable. We work hand-in-hand with our hosts at Prince William Marina, as well as the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and U.S. Power Squadrons. Through these partnerships, we provide our members with the resources, education, and safety awareness needed to navigate with confidence.
• Expanded Horizons: Joining PWYC means your boating world gets a little bigger. As active members of the Potomac River Yacht Clubs Association (PRYCA) and the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Clubs Association (CBYCA), we offer our members exclusive access to events and cruising opportunities that extend down the Potomac, into the Chesapeake Bay, and through its many beautiful tributaries.

Join the Family
Our club is defined by the energy and ideas of our members, and we are constantly looking for new ways to make each boating season better than the last. We warmly invite you to attend our monthly board meetings or join us at an upcoming event to experience the PWYC spirit firsthand.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of our Flag Officers, Fleet Captains, or Dock Representatives if you have any questions about the club. 

We look forward to seeing you on the docks and welcoming you into a community where everyone feels like family.
