In 1999, Moriches Yacht Club commemorated its 100th Anniversary at the annual Flag Raising Ceremony.
As part of that ceremony, the club recognized the last four active original Charter Members, who in 1949, each donated $100 toward the purchase of the Union Ave property in 1950, and we have been here ever since. Initiated as a sailboat racing club in 1899, Moriches Yacht Club only met in the summer months. Members would host dinners at their homes and local hotels, and following a period of sharing a club, inactive periods, and many attempts to reorganize during the 1920’s and 30’s, Moriches Yacht Club finally had its very own clubhouse on the bay, with the first social event held in 1951.
