Located on Apple Tree Cove in Kingston, WA, Kingston Cove Yacht Club (“KCYC”) strives to be “The Best Little Yacht Club in Washington”. Despite being a yacht club with strong yachting heritage and traditions, boat ownership is not required to be a member. We are a WA State nonprofit organization that dedicates itself to the promotion of safe and enjoyable boating, RVing and social and community activities.
Our boating members cruise to various Salish Sea ports of call throughout the summer. Destinations range from Anacortes to Olympia in 2025 and from Gig Harbor to Victoria in 2026. Our fleet of “Land Cruisers” (RVs) goes to destinations throughout Washington and Oregon, meeting up with the boaters whenever possible.
Our Community Engagement Committee leads our members efforts to support various community organizations. KCYC is not a charitable organization, however, many of our members elect to make financial contributions to several local worthy causes.
KCYC has numerous social events through the year ranging from casual Friday evening social events to the more formal Commodores Ball. We have Luaus and Burger Nights and often host visiting Yacht Clubs in our clubhouse which has a commercial kitchen, licensed full-service bar and room for dancing. The clubhouse is available for rental to members and non-members.
Our members benefit from several amenities. Some highlights include but not limited to:
• Organized group boating and RV expeditions
• Boating education
• Social engagement making new friendships
(if you golf or fish there’s always someone to hang out with!)
• Collectively support our community activities
•Collective meals, events, and beverages at reasonable cost
•Reciprocal privileges with other area yacht clubs including temporary vessel moorage
at many Salish Sea marinas, and access to other yacht club facilities
