Welcome to the Rockland Yacht Club!
Located on one of the finest harbors in the Western Penobscot Bay, The Rockland Yacht Club welcomes members, guests, and visiting yachties. Pick from our fun-filled Calendar of Events – both on land and in the water – to find new friends and re-connect with old ones. “Rockland Yacht Club has always been a club that features amicable members, great friendships, and enjoyable boating experiences. We now have the common focus and friendly surroundings of our own club house. Sharing a facility with the Harbormaster in Rockland’s Harbor Park, we are in the heart of the Western Penobscot Bay boating community. The Club House brings us together for boating fun, competition and camaraderie.” Alan MacDonald, Commodore |

Fleet Photos & More Event Pix
The RYC Fleet looks so sleek and nautical when the boats sail against the backdrop of the Penobscot Bay. We would like to feature your favorite picture, so send it to us so we can add it to our RYC Fleet Photo Gallery. Please, we are looking for action shots! ... no pictures of boats at anchor, at the mooring/slip, or on the hard.
