The Lewisporte Yacht Club (LYC) is the social group for the boaters at the Lewisporte marina. The executive and committees operate the clubhouse, organize social activities, and act as a common voice for the LYC members.
The clubhouse offers members an informal, relaxing environment overlooking the docks. It has shower and laundry facilities, and is fully accessible. The kitchen and barbeques are available to both members and visiting crews. Friends, new and old, can often be found inside the building sharing good food and cruising tales.
The LYC also maintains moorings at popular locations throughout the Bay of Exploits. These are free for the members to use.
