Seattle Singles Yacht Club

Seattle Singles Yacht Club is an atypical club, in that it’s primarily for single men and women who love boating. SSYC is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization. They’re’re a great place to meet people and enjoy Seattle, on the water and off. There’s a dance after at least one of their Monday meetings every month, an overnight boat trip every month, and social events nearly every day of the week. They also produce an annual sailing race and auction for charity.
