Membership Information
Founded in 1865, Riverton Yacht club is one of the oldest yacht clubs in America. Friendly and informal., we are open to anyone who loves the thrill, companionship, or calm beauty of sailing.
The club lies along a scenic stretch of the Delaware River in picturesque Riverton, New Jersey. We are one mile north of the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, and two miles from the intersection of Routes 73 and 130.
Host of the prestigious Governor's Cup Regatta each June, we also sponser other regattas throughout the Year and offer club racing most Wednesday nights and weekends. We invite you to stop by, to call or write for more information.
