yacht club jersey shore

Since 1871, Toms River Yacht Club has built a rich legacy at the Jersey Shore. The club held its first regatta on July 26, 1871 and since then the TRYC has championed the sport of sailing. We host local, national, and international sailing events. Additionally, the club runs one of the finest junior sailing programs in the area, making the sport accessible to all ages.

Boating activities at the Toms River Yacht Club are not limited to racing. The club marina has 90 slips available to its members. Keeping your boat at the club is another way to enhance the benefits of membership.

TRYC hosts some of the most recognized one-design regional and national championships including but not limited to the Flying Scot, Ensign, MC-Scow, WASZP, Lightning, and E-Scow classes, plus other PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Formula) races. TRYC is a member and a major sponsor of the Barnegat Bay Yacht Racing Association (BBYRA) providing our fleet of support boats throughout the 10 weeks of the Championship Series. The club also provides an informal sailboat race series on every Wednesday evening throughout the summer months known as the “Sunset Sail”.

The club marina has 90 slips available to members at reasonable rates. Members who store boats elsewhere and wish to come to the club by boat, the club provides guest slips. Dry storage is also available year-round on our grounds.

The Yacht Club Offers Waterfront Dining in Edgewater

A new seafood restaurant and bar is open in Edgewater, offering casual dining in a relaxing atmosphere. It’s hard to miss The Yacht Club along the Edgewater Commons Shopping Center pier, with its white lighthouse-shaped façade. In terms of location, locals will recall the space previously housing Joe’s Crab Shack.

However, the 13,000-square foot interior is now totally different. It seats 120 in the main dining room; which boasts olive green walls, Greece-imported gold accented furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows. In addition, the dining room overlooks a deck with water views from all sides. Meanwhile, the private upstairs dining room at The Yacht Club seats 150. Finally, their marble bar can seat another 20, while their lounge with a view seats yet another 30.

The Yacht Club is All About Dinner With a View

But we haven’t even gotten to the outdoor deck yet; this section seats 60 – rain or shine — and offers views of both the Hudson River and Manhattan. “The outdoor setting was designed to resemble a waterfront bar in Europe, from the island-chic light fixtures to the sliding floor to ceiling doors which easily open and close weather permitting,” says The Yacht Club Owner Eliana Stefanitsis; her family also runs the Hudson River Group, which owns Molos in Weehawken .

Like many other businesses, COVID-19 caused a delay in operation. Eliana’s original plan was to open The Yacht Club in April, but wound up waiting until August instead. “We aren’t taking reservations because we want to encourage people to come eat, enjoy the space, and not have to plan in advance,” she says. Likewise, their plan is to accommodate both “people who want to hang out at the bar and enjoy a craft cocktail or families who want to go out to eat.”

Seafood by the Sea

The Yacht Club serves American seafood dishes, courtesy of Executive Chef Gregory Zapantis. (Fans of the Hudson River Group will recognize that name from Molos.) To further diversify the menu, the restaurant also employs Sushi Chef Steve Song (previously from Masa in New York City).

As for their signature dishes, The Yacht Club specializes in lobster. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that lobster rolls and the lobster BLT sandwich are big hits. Of course, you can also find salads, tacos, and burgers on the menu. Meanwhile, the full bar menu includes frozen drinks. Their signature cocktail is the Grapefruit Botanical Spritz, with Ketel One grapefruit juice, Aperol liqueur, and club soda.

They also offer gluten-free items such as wild salmon and skirt steak. Eliana points out that vegetarian items are limited for the moment, but they plan to expand on this soon. For now, they can accommodate vegetarian meals by request.

You can visit The Yacht Club at 541 River Rd in Edgewater. For hours, their full menu, and other details, search for The Yacht Club online.

Local Information

The boating experience at the jersey shore.

Want to go sailing in one of the best spots along the shore in New Jersey?

Starting from Ocean Gate Yacht Basin in Bayville, NJ you can get on board one of our boats to sail Toms River, Barnegat Bay and well beyond!

The marina is located where the Toms River travels to meet the bay, providing a natural safe haven for sailing. You’ll be able to sail in a seashore atmosphere, anchor in a quiet harbor or even do a bit of crabbing to take a chance at catching your dinner for the evening. There are great “gunkholing” areas throughout the bay and rivers which are just perfect for an afternoon stop or great for overnight anchoring. When you’re done sailing, you can fish or even take a swim off the back of the boat. Going ashore for family fun on the boardwalk is even available in Seaside Heights. What a great way to create lifelong memories, have fun and get some relaxation!

If you’re looking for a dock and dine opportunity, you can head south to find a couple of options on the Forked River at the  Captain’s Inn  tiki bar or  Lattitudes  the restaurant at the Southwinds Marina. Just around the corner from the marina you can grab a mooring ball and catch the water taxi for a stop at  Martell’s Water’s Edge . Or head all the way to the beginning of the Toms River to grab a transient slip for a walk into town.

With steady wind all season long, our area is great for a sail at anytime. Drop anchor at Tice’s Shoal for a day time treat then make your way o land to walk across the beach to spend afteroon at the beach. Or spend a night in High Bar Harbor Yacht Club, watching “Old Barney” blink its nightly signal to mariners trying to navigate the inlet. These are just a couple of the special destinations to be found within a few hours sail.

From the marina there’s a sailing area of about 17 nautical miles north to Bay Head, NJ and sailable water stretching 12 nautical miles south to the entrance of the Inter-Coastal Waterway (ICW) channel that connects Barnegat Bay and Little Egg Harbor. Access to the Atlantic Ocean is about 10 nautical miles south when making your way through the Oyster Creek Channel towards Barnegat Inlet. From there, a sail to Atlantic City or even Cape May is possible. Making your way through the Manasquan Inlet gets you closer to the ocean so heading north takes you to Raritan Bay  then in to the ultra-exciting New York Harbor.

Why SailTime?

We’ve been around for some time, listening to what customers say so that we could find out what they want from a membership boating company, so that is why we’re able to offer the following:

• Guaranteed regular access that’s affordable, hassle-free and easy to schedule – 24/7
• Top quality boats, always prepped and ready for you
• Several flexible short-term membership options
• An intelligent and generous ownership program option
• Personal on-the-water training on your membership boat
• Unique world-wide access through the SailTime Plus program

And if that’s not enough, we look after the boats so you don’t have to! We also cover the cost of insurance, annual maintenance and slip fees.

We have a long list of events planned with everything from dock parties to “skill building” programs to flotillas in beautiful locations around the world! Like Tahiti, Australia, Greece and of course the British Virgin Islands!

So we know what we’ll be doing next season! Do you? Want to join us? We invite you to find out more about how you can get on board for 2017.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

The SailTime Jersey Shore Team

Our goal is to expand in other locations along the coast. We are targeting Atlantic City and also have had inquiries about sailing from the inlet near Cape May.

We are actively looking for owner members so that we can place boats, both sail and  power, in these areas. contact us at [email protected] or 866-sail101 (866-724-5101) for more information..
