Since 1971, Ware River Yacht Club has been a premier sailing and social club in Gloucester, VA. Located on the picturesque Ware River and close to the Mobjack Bay, WRYC offers a variety of sailing opportunities, from day sailing on our fleet of Laser, Opti and Albacore sailboats or cruising on our keel boats. A very popular education program allows youth and adult members to learn to sail or enhance their skills through lecture and on-water experience.
Also, the club has hosted its signature event, the Governor’s Cup Regatta, for 60 consecutive years, inviting competitors from all around the Chesapeake region. Active participation and volunteering from our members always make it a fun and successful multi-day event.
Members enjoy an active social program, including racquet sports, holiday events, the annual oyster roast, gameday and musical gatherings. The club is also available for special events, such as weddings and birthdays, for members and non-members alike. If you are looking to get involved in a fun social club, or if you have a passion for sailing too, the Ware River Yacht Club is for you! Come join us!
