Brant Beach Yacht Club

Brant Beach Yacht Club was founded in 1947 and is located across seven bay-front blocks on Long Beach Island, Brant Beach, New Jersey. At Brant Beach Yacht Club we enjoy an active summer and year round calendar of sailing events, programs and social activities. Social events on a packed summer calendar and throughout the year - with something for everyone to enjoy.

BBYC offers a variety of programs for all ages - from age 4 to age 144 there's fun for everyone and lots to learn on the water. Yachting skills are taught at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels in four Optimist classes, two levels of Sunfish, Lasers, and C420's. Each year our team of skilled sailing instructors, under the leadreship of our highly qualified Director of Sailing guide our young sailors both on and off the water.

BBYC offers the Mariner, Lightning, Laser and Sunfish for adult racing and casual sailing. Junior sailors can begin sailing in the Opti at age 7 and can later sail the Laser Radial (single handed), Sunfish (single handed) or Club 420 (double handed). BBYC members have a variety of cruising boats and there are scheduled cruising activities during the year.

Whether you are new to sailing or have experience, the adult Sunfish sailing lessons will give you the opportunity to learn how to sail a sunfish or further develop your sunfish sailing skills.

This is a great way to get on the water each week, gain confidence in your sailing abilities and get comfortable with participating in our "fun" racing events such as "Thirsty Thursday" and Adult Friday Sailing series see other sailng opportunities under "Racing Series" below.In addition to the Saturday Sunfish series, we offer an adult Friday sailing series for those interested in participating in sunfish racing on Friday afternoons.

Membership in the Brant Beach Yacht Club is open, and new members are continually welcomed. Our Club depends largely upon the membership to govern and operate its programs. Volunteerism is the key to keeping expenses down, and at the same time to build relationships with fellow members. Everyone is expected to make a contribution of time by helping with boating activities, social events, and bi-annual work weekends.
