A nor’easter tried to crash Pirates Night with heavy winds, rain, and tides… so we brought the pirates inside! 🏴‍☠️🌧️

Pirates Night on the Hook became Pirates Night on the Dock, and this crew showed up ready to have fun. Pirate gear? Check. Great food? Check. DJ Kelly’s music and photo booth? Check. And Debbie’s rum punch was such a hit, we were scraping the fruit out of the bottom by the end of the night! 🍹

A HUGE thank you to Debbie, Michele, and Prince William Marina for putting on another great event, and to everyone who came out and joined us.

The pirates didn’t make it onto the water this time—but we still know how to party on land! Arrr! ⚓

We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001 — a day that forever changed our nation.

We remember the lives lost, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who showed extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

As members of the Prince William Yacht Club, we pause today to honor their memory and reflect on the strength, unity, and resilience our country showed in the days that followed.

May we never forget those we lost, those who ran toward danger to help others, and the sacrifices made in the years that followed.

September 11, 2001 – September 11, 2026

25 Years. Always Remembered. Never Forgotten.

What a fantastic weekend we had at Kent Narrows! While Thursday’s ride up was a little longer than expected and brought a few “spicy” moments on the Bay, everyone arrived safely to calm waters and one of the nicest marinas on the Chesapeake. The dock staff had us feeling welcome from the moment we pulled in, with plenty of helping hands waiting to assist everyone into their slips.

Once settled, the rest of the afternoon was all about relaxing. Many of us cooled off in the pool before heading to Red Eye’s Dock Bar for live music, great food, refreshing cocktails, and the perfect way to kick off the weekend.

Friday was exactly what a summer boating weekend should be—pool time, relaxing with friends, and soaking up the sunshine. That evening, everyone gathered for Happy Hour, catered by Red Eye’s. It was easily one of our best Happy Hours yet, with delicious food and even better company. Afterward, the group made their way to The Jetty to catch the Amish Outlaws, who absolutely lived up to the hype. If you’ve never seen them perform, add them to your must-see list!

Saturday gave everyone the opportunity to enjoy Kent Narrows at their own pace. Some explored the waterways by dinghy, others spent another relaxing day by the pool, and everyone reunited in the evening for dinner, splitting between Harris Crab House and The Narrows depending on where the night took them.

Sunday couldn’t have given us a better send-off. The Chesapeake Bay was absolutely picture perfect, with some of the calmest water we’ve seen in a long time. It made for a smooth, beautiful ride home and the perfect ending to another memorable PWYC cruise.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. Weekends like this are what make our club so special, and we can’t wait to do it all again on the next adventure!

What an incredible weekend we had at Stringers Yacht Center in Colonial Beach!

From the moment we arrived, the new ownership made everyone feel welcome with their outstanding hospitality. It truly set the tone for a fantastic weekend.

We kicked things off Friday evening with a special thank you to Prince William Marina for sponsoring a wonderful Happy Hour. Great drinks, great conversation, and some fantastic giveaways made for the perfect start to the trip.

Saturday morning, Dockside treated our group to a delicious catered brunch that had everyone fueled up and ready to enjoy the day.

After brunch, everyone headed off to explore Colonial Beach at their own pace. Whether it was enjoying homemade ice cream, relaxing with a flaming margarita, browsing the local shops, or simply taking in the waterfront, there was something for everyone. It was fun hearing everyone’s stories and seeing how each crew spent the day.

Sunday wrapped up the weekend with the annual Father’s Day Car Show, which was a favorite for many of our members and the perfect way to end the trip before heading home.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Beautiful weather, great friends, and another memorable PWYC cruise made this one for the books.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Stringers Yacht Center, Dockside, and Prince William Marina for helping make the weekend such a success. We can’t wait for the next adventure!

Happy Father’s Day to all of the amazing dads of Prince William Yacht Club! ⚓💙

Today we celebrate the captains who lead with strength, patience, and love—whether they’re at the helm of a boat or guiding their families through life’s adventures.

From early mornings on the water to unforgettable family cruises, dockside laughs, and making memories that last a lifetime, thank you for everything you do both on and off the water.

Wishing each of you a wonderful Father’s Day surrounded by those you love.

Happy Father’s Day from your PWYC family! ⚓🚤❤️

⚓️ PWYC TAKES OVER THE TIDES INN! ⚓️
What an absolutely unforgettable weekend! The Prince William Yacht Club officially showed up and took over the marina at The Tides Inn, and the resort could not have been more beautiful. The weather gods were definitely watching over us for those two days, granting us beautifully calm seas on the trip both down and home. In fact, the Bay was the absolute calmest I have ever seen it, which was a massive blessing since we had a few first-timers venturing out onto the Bay for the first time. We truly couldn't have asked for better conditions to welcome them, complete with calm winds and a pod of dolphins playing right in our wake. It was picture-perfect from start to finish.

When we weren't on the water, we were making the absolute most of the weekend. We spent plenty of time hanging by the pool, catching up over drinks, and enjoying some fantastic dinners. One of the absolute highlights was using happy hour to really get to know the club members we hadn't crossed paths with yet.

For those who missed out on this one, make sure to keep a close eye out for next year's dates. This trip was such a home run that it is officially being added to our regular rotation of cruises. Huge thanks to everyone who made the trek and made the weekend so special. Until the next port, cheers! 🥂⛵️

Cruise to Tides Inn with PWYC!

Change of plans = an unexpected opportunity for you! A few of our members unfortunately had to drop out of our upcoming trip to the Tides Inn this weekend (June 5th–7th), which means a few prime spots just opened up.

Here’s the best part: PWYC did a full buyout of the entire marina, so we are going to have the place to ourselves! 🏨⚓️
