Welcome to the Port Townsend Yacht Club

We are located at 2503 Washington Street in the picturesque Victorian seaport of Port Townsend, Washington – the gateway to cruising in Puget Sound from Olympia and Seattle, to the San Juan Islands, the Canadian Gulf Islands, and north through the Inside Passage to Alaska. From here you can boat to some of the most spectacular cruising grounds in the world! Our club - evenly split between sail and power boaters - is active throughout the year with cruises, seminars, socials, and meetings. We welcome new members, visiting boaters via our reciprocal program, and community members with an interest in boating.
