A Message from the Vice President
The Hudson River Boat and Yacht Club Association (HRBYCA) advocates for local boat and yacht clubs from Raritan Bay, New Jersey, to Port Ewen, New York. For more than 50 years, our goal has been to protect the Hudson River’s environment while encouraging enjoyment of the river for more than 5,000 recreational boating families. We ensure that our voices are represented in government matters, and we are strong advocates for clean water and for responsible and safe boating.
The HRBYCA’s mission is to provide clubs with the knowledge needed to operate our volunteer boating organizations. We work to address challenges such as declining membership, restricted waterfront access, dredging, tax and insurance issues, environmental and safety concerns, and other practical matters.
General membership meetings take place on the last Tuesday of every other month. We strongly encourage and welcome any recreational boat owner, personal watercraft (PWC) owner, or paddler to attend our meetings, which cover topics that affect your boating experiences.
If you’re interested in joining a boat club on the Hudson River and would like more information, please check our list of member clubs.

Sincerely,
