  A Brief History...

In 1961, a group of enthusiastic cruising Yachtsmen decided to form a club. These five men sent out letters to fifteen perspective members. Twenty-five showed up for the initial meeting! The dues were set at $25.00 per year, including the burgee, and we were underway. “Atlantis” seemed a fitting name because the Club, like the mythical city, was only a dream, a possibility, and its very existence seemed unlikely. 

The letter “A”, tipped over on its side, made a natural design for the burgee The colors? Red, white and blue, of course! With no physical facility, and with the home ports of the boats scattered along the jersey shore from Barnegat Bay to Englewood, the members managed to cruise together by meeting at prearranged rendezvous points. Active cruising was a must. From the stat, a basic requirement for membership was ownership of a boat. The minimum size boat required was set at 16ft., as this was the size of the smallest boat in the new “fleet”. This number remains in the By-Laws.

After three years, with many good friendships have developed, it was time to acquire a facility. Sandy Hook seemed to be a central area. The initial capital contribution by each member was set at $300.

The first Atlantis Yacht Club marina was established on the Shrewsbury River, in Sea Bright, with dockage for 24 boats and a clubhouse that was part of a large Victorian home that had been converted into many separate apartments.

The “Club House” was one apartment, and Steward’s quarters another. The remaining apartments continued to be rented out, and this made the whole project viable. 

By 1996 , the club had grown so that almost 50% of the membership was on the waiting list for slips. The boat sizes also had grown, so that when a boat was entering or leaving its slip, there were only 1 to 3 feet to spare, and there was a five-knot current moving through the basin. It was time to expand: time to move . 

With great trepidation, the present real estate was purchased in Monmouth Beach. It was a flooded marsh, populated with snakes, crabs, and eelgrass, but the membership was excited about the possibilities. 

Over the next two years, the marina was dredged and the bulkhead and docks were constructed. The clubhouse, swimming pool, and parking areas were built, and a few years later, the tennis courts and landscaping were added. The clubhouse was rebuilt and remodeled in 2012, after Hurricane Sandy.

Since its foundation, the goal of the AYC has been to provide the finest family-oriented yacht club in the area a place that would be an extension of each member’s home. Year by year, since then, the AYC has continued to improve and evolve, with the ongoing dedication of its officers, Board of Governors, and members.

Please Read my review. Nick Delaglio, Fleet Captain, and every member of this club were the nicest, most respectful, most welcoming group of people I have ever met in the 45 years I have been boating. My home Port is in Massapequa. But my wife and I love to travel all over New York and New Jersey. I've never been to Atlantis Yacht Club, so I decided to try it out on this trip. It was; it had all the amenities. Their pool was delightful. The lounge area was top-notch, with couches, TVs, coffee, and a full kitchen. The bathrooms were spotless. I hope you're taking the time to read this because if you don't try this place out as a transient or if you live in the local area and you could use it as your home port, you're going to miss out on one of the best marinas I was ever at. It was clean; it had all the amenities. Their pool was delightful. The lounge area was top-notch, with couches, TVs, coffee, and a full kitchen. The bathrooms are spotless. I give this place five stars and 1000% my wife my family and my friends will be back. Thank you, Robert Corrado.

Have been visiting Atlantis for past 4 years as a transient from another yacht club. Has become one of my favorite destinations. Truly a hidden gem. Facility is wonderful. Members & staff are friendly. Beach is about a block away. Taxi to Pier Village (boardwalk area with restaurants & shops) for a family of 4-8 about $15. Only negatives are fixed docks & shoaling.

Been coming on and off for a long time. Won't be coming again. People who keep their boats at this facility are among the rudest and most obnoxious I have ever encountered. They are just rude and ordinary. They really need lessons on how to be decent humans. All they do is gossip about each other and any one else in the line of sight. They don't know how to run a YACHT club, not even a marina, however there is a mechanic at the facility next door, which I would recommend. At AYC there is no dock master to assist with your lines or hook-ups. It is unfortunate, the location is great. Nice distance for a weekend trip, the beach is across the street and there are great restaurants nearby, but the people make it miserable. DON'T RECOMMEND.
