Orienta Yacht Club founded by a group of yachtsmen that had their yachts anchored in Mamaroneck Harbor...

Mamaroneck Harbor began to take shape with dredging and using fill to build Harbor Island Park...

The club held its first motor boat race.

OYC was accredited to the Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound, and that year sponsored its first annual regatta under Y.R.A. rules.

1925 the club house and property up the hill was sold to the Elks Club, leaving us with the lower portion and boat house.

The Works Progress Administration (WPA) built seawalls around what had by then become Harbor Island Park...

In the recent years numerous other improvements have been made to the property over the years...

The Clubhouse was originally a boathouse, much of which was taken up with storage lockers for members’ equipment. Upstairs lived a steward who oversaw launch operations.

Today, the Orienta Yacht Club remains a thriving club of sailors and power boaters who share a passion for the sea and the good fun and friendship that unites the yachting community.
