In 1911 The Stone Harbor Yacht Club was built for Stone Harbor Realty Company by John Larsen, grandfather of Fleet Historian, Jane Scott. The Club failed during the Depression. But in 1929, Jane's father, Clarence O. Letzkus, along with a small group of men, reorganized the club as The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor by selling proprietary memberships. The 1911 building is used to this day by members and their guests. An exhibit including Club history can be seen at the Stone Harbor Museum. Now you will see an exhibit on the Club's history installed at the Club.
The mission of the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor is to provide an attractive, comfortable and safe facility where its members, guests and children can meet to socialize, dine and take part in activities intended to promote fellowship, recreation, civic mindedness, and the enjoyment of waterborne sports such as sailing, motor boating, fishing and swimming.
The following is the process for becoming a member of the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor: Submit an application, along with letters of sponsorship from two current members, to the Membership Chairman. The applicant will be contacted for an interview with the Membership Committee.
The application will be presented to the Board of Trustees.
