Deer Isle Yacht Club

Sylvester Cove, Sunset, Maine


The Deer Isle Yacht Club is a small local yacht club in Sylvester’s Cove, Sunset, Maine. The Club was founded in 1925 to promote small boat sailing and to instruct juniors in this sport of sailing, rules of the road and seamanship.

Facilities are  minimal as the club has no potable water, no fuel dock, no showers, and little parking.  Sailing lessons are offered late-June through early August to members and non-members of all ages and skill levels. Membership is necessarily limited by the size of the Cove; more information can be found at the Membership section of this website.

Notice Floats Out

We really wish that we didn’t have to start thinking about the end of the season quite yet, but the floats are scheduled to be removed from the water on September 15th. Please make sure to remove all privately owned dinghies, and kayaks from the DIYC property for storage off site prior to this date.
We hope you had a great summer and looking forward to another great season next year!.
