Beaufort Yacht & Sailing Club

was looking for a club to join in the area, found bysc and joined. moved my boat there last week. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

I was there as a out of town volunteer for their annual Lowcountry Regatta. Wow, what a hospitable crowd and so thankful for any help. I was housed by the Commodore and his lovely wife. I was a last minute addition and they really made a great effort to make me feel welcome. They may have messed up because now I want to come back. The YC facilities were great with a fantastic view. The regatta was well received by the competitors and loved the volunteer effort made by all the members. The hoist crowd had a great system on putting boats in. The Race Committee was very thorough. The after party was great with good music, dancing, luge, and a fantastic Lowcountry Boil with all the fixins that was beyond compare! What an excellent example of what a sailing club should be.

No trip for us to check out a place would be complete without seeing what boating clubs were available. We’re big on boating of all kinds and always want to know where the best places might be to keep a boat, have some fun amenities available and to meet some like-​minded friends.
We were very impressed with the facilities here which were nicely thought out and minus the snooty attitude found at some yachts clubs.
Although there are no slips for boats (slips being our preference), the moorings are such that it would be easy enough to get out to one’s boat.
There are tennis courts here, a nice sized pool, kayaks and canoes for club members to use if you don’t have your own, and a very attractive clubhouse with bar. Seems like the club hosts all kinds of events too which is something our current yacht club offers and that we appreciate. It’s a great way to meet people.
We were given the grand tour by one of the owners, an extremely affable man by the name of Milledge, who coincidentally told us he left SC for a time to live in Massachusetts but wisely returned home to run this terrific family owned facility.
This is a yacht club with the feel of being a summer camp for grown-​ups.
The boating season is long in SC which is part of the draw for us; it’s so relatively short here in New England.
We loved the vibe, we loved the views and the amenities are very much desirable to us. This seems to be the kind of place we are looking for.
When the time comes, this just might be the place we join.

I’ve sailed the Low Country Regatta here several times. They have good launch facilities, pool and tennis courts, a nice water front bar, and race committee to handle 3 courses. Saturday dinner is great. Dockside helpers don’t seem to have read the launching instructions handed out to competitors though. When you follow what the instructions in the competitors packet says, the dock master bitches at you for not doing things they way he thinks they should be done. Other than that, it’s a nice club.
