The GPYC is a members only club that offers an outlet for sailors, boaters and other water enthusiasts. If you're not a member, you need to know a member to get into the club, but that shouldn't dissuade you on how friendly the people there are. If you want to be a member, there are pre-requisites, such as proximity to the club and knowing someone who is already a member (sponsor). With membership, you have access to the club as well as the private boat launch/ramp. Inside the club, you'll find a magnificent bar, staffed with some phenomenal people, as well as a full service kitchen. The views from the bar of the barnegat bay and Toms River are soecatcular, by far some of the best in the area. The food is good and the drinks are plentiful....it's a great spot in the area. They also care about the community, with sponsorships for a lot of local organizations as well as the police department. This club is a great place for the community and it's members are some of the nicest people on the Toms River!

Alerts in effect, seafarers yacht club.

In 1945, Lewis T. Green made history in Anacostia Park when he created the Seafarers Yacht Club. the oldest African American yacht club in the country. The Yacht Club is still thriving to this day and was an early advocate for stewarding the river.

The Seafarers Yacht Club, organized in 1945 as the Seafarers Boat Club, and is the oldest African American yacht club in the United States. The clubhouse is located on the Anacostia River north of the John Philip Sousa Bridge (Pennsylvania Avenue, SE) and just south of the CSX Railroad bridge (across from the skating rink in Anacostia Park). The Seafarers Club was organized by Lewis T. Green, Sr., a wood carver and vocational arts teacher in the DC Public Schools. Green built boats as a hobby, and in his search for a place to dock one of his boats, he contacted the Department of the Interior about this site. Told that he should establish a boat club, he did so, but waited in vain for a response from the government. Eventually, with the help of Mary McLeod Bethune and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, he was able to rent the land for the club. The site originally was called Green's Boat Yard, and club members improved the marshy land and built docks and a clubhouse.

The club soon developed a commitment to boating safety and community service. In 1965 the club merged with the D.C. Mariners Boat Club. In 1985 the group began the Seafarers Yacht Club Annual Cleanup, which has grown into the annual Anacostia River Cleanup Day held each spring with hundreds of volunteers. Ongoing efforts clean the river continue every year with the hopes of a swimmable Anacostia for all to enjoy.
