Mystic

A maritime town with a riverfront, historic ships, and Mystic Seaport Museum. It is a natural setting for a club built around classic yachts.

Fishers Island Sound

Island views and a varied coastline give the local waters their character. Tides, currents, weather, and the skipper’s experience shape each day’s sailing plan.

New London

To the west, the Thames River meets Long Island Sound at New London, a waterfront city with a long maritime history.

Watch Hill & beyond

Watch Hill marks the eastern end of this overview, with its lighthouse looking over Fishers Island Sound. Longer outings into Long Island Sound or beyond depend on conditions, available time, and the club’s sailing arrangements — ask Captain Rob before planning a trip.
