Manhattan Yacht Club has the great tradition of bringing members together for “Member Nights” on Tuesday evenings. During the summer season, these lively and robust evenings are held on the Honorable William Wall, our floating clubhouse in New York Harbor.
In winter, our floating clubhouse is closed. To keep this series going, MYC is happy to announce that “Member Nights” will continue at one of our favorite clubs in Manhattan, the Down Town Association. These events will be held every other week on Tuesday evenings.
The next event will be: Tuesday, November 26, 2024 from 6 to 8:30 pm.
Each of these events will include an educational or informational theme.
Here are the details you need to know:
- Dress code is “business smart.” As you may already know, the DTA is one of the most beautiful private clubs in Manhattan. so please look the part of a distinguished yacht club member when you attend.
- Members may attend by themselves or bring up to 3 guests (group of 4 maximum).
- RSVP at least 1 day in advance. There will be a guest list at the door and admission is only open to members and their guests on this list.
- Members may pay for their drinks by credit card. There is also appetizers and dinner available for purchase.
- MYC members are invited to gather in the Main Bar which is paneled with beautiful quarter-sewn white oak (other rooms within the DTA are off-limits).
Manhattan Yacht Club has had a relationship with the Down Town Association since the 1990s. The Sailors Ball was moved to the DTA starting in 1999. We have hosted the Sailors Ball as well as our Annual Dinner there for 20+ years.
This past summer, MYC invited the Members of the Down Town Association out to visit our floating clubhouse, the Honorable William Wall. It was a magical evening in New York Harbor. In return, the DTA has graciously invited MYC to host our “Member’s Nights” at their club during the winter. (For MYC members who might also be interested in membership in the DTA, we encourage you to learn more at https://www.thedta.com/membership.)
