Annapolis Yacht Club runs a junior sailing program each summer for youth ages 5 to 18 on the waters off Annapolis. Beginners ages 8–11 sail Club-owned Optimists in a half-day morning course (9am–noon), while the Learn to Sail keelboat course for ages 13–18 runs a full day (9am–4pm) in J/22s; an intermediate Optimist course fills the afternoons. Instruction covers rigging, boat handling, seamanship, and water safety.

★★★★★Kevin WalkerWonderful customer service
★★★★★Pat RinaldoOur daughter brought us here for appetizers. The food and service was excellent!
★★★★★Leo ReiseSecond time we were there. AYC is a first-class facility. The activity center is (in my opinion) a little less formal and more "kid friendly" than the main building . Great service.
★★★★★Natalie FrankeSuch an awesome space for families—love grabbing coffee or lunch and watching the boats on Spa Creek.
★★★★★Robert AtkinsThe exercise center is outstanding. Well equipped with cardio machines (rowing, bike, treadmill, etc.) and weight machines for all muscle groups. Hardly ever a wait with great locker rooms and showers. A terrific addition to AYC.
