Dear Prospective Member,
I’d like to take a moment to introduce you to one of the best reasons for living here in Fairfield Harbour; the Fairfield Harbour Yacht Club! FHYC was established in 1984 and has, over the last four decades, become an integral part of the boating lifestyle here on the Neuse River and surrounding waterways for hundreds of boating enthusiasts! We’d like to encourage you to think about becoming one of them as a new member!
Fairfield Harbour Yacht Club is unique in that unlike other clubs, we offer memberships only to those who reside in Fairfield Harbour. Our on water activities include local and regional cruising opportunities for both power and sail boats, racing for sailors, and raft ups for both power and sail boaters. Our boater education programs, social engagement, and community involvement, all combine to give you a rich and meaningful membership experience and make for a compelling, rewarding use of your recreational time.
You’ll meet and mingle with some of the most interesting people in our community; some have years of blue water sailing experience, many have cruised the East Coast and intracoastal waterway, others have accomplished the Great Loop, and still others are relatively new to boating or have stayed closer to home. No matter your experience level, the sort of boat you own, or your boating plans, you’ll make new friends and find something of genuine interest at FHYC!
Compared to other clubs, membership costs are quite low. We own no buildings and have no paid staff. Annual membership dues cover basic operational costs, and generally, each activity is self funded. Events are planned and managed by members actively serving on one of several committees. It’s this member engagement that makes the club work!
I invite you to take a few minutes to look through the enclosed information, and perhaps take a look at our website to get to know a little more about us. Then, contact one of our membership representatives and learn how you can be a part of something truly special!

As 2024 draws near, I anticipate the fun and excitement we are going to have in our 40th year as Fairfield Harbour Yacht Club. It is going to be hard to match the fun we had during the last year. We had so many wonderful times with boat parades, races, cruises, dinners, parties, and meetings that it seems impossible we were able to do that much. But we did.
The club is going to be forty years old on March 8, 2024. There were 36 Charter Members listed in the 1985 FHYC Yearbook. The membership has gone up and down over the years but the club has remained on an even keel to deliver on the purposes called out in the chartering documentation, namely; to conduct activities for the pleasure and recreation of the members, and to promote yachting, the service of seamanship, social events among its members, and safety on the waterways. It is what we are all about.
I firmly believe in our purpose and stand ready to work to ensure we meet it. It’s about continuing to have fun. Let’s get to it.

Welcome to Fairfield Harbour Yacht Club’s website; we’re glad you’ve found your way here!
We invite you to take a look around and spend a few minutes getting to know a little more about the exciting adventures available to you on the water and ashore as a member of our club! Fairfield Harbour is a unique community on the mid Atlantic coast, drawing residents from across the country who enjoy the best of coastal North Carolina’s boating lifestyle.
Fairfield Harbour Yacht Club was established as a non profit organization, has no paid employees, and has operated continuously since its inception in 1984. Our purpose has been, and continues to be, to promote yachting, promote the science of seamanship, encourage social events among members, and promote safety on and preservation of the waterways.
The club is unique in that it is an active part of the Fairfield Harbour community, adding richly to the experience of living in this on the water haven. Unlike many other clubs, FHYC does not own a clubhouse or marina, meeting instead at our local community center. This allows us to keep membership costs to a minimum, with modest annual dues and a pay as you go approach to individual events. The focus is on having fun, without the worry or expense of maintaining property. An individual member can choose events which interest them, without minimum monthly charges.
You’ll find that Fairfield Harbour’s proximity to the Neuse River, Pamlico Sound, and the intra-coastal waterway, and ideal year round weather conditions, make it the perfect gateway for exploring local waters or the entire Eastern seaboard! Fairfield Harbour Yacht Club offers residents of our boating community the opportunity to join other boaters with similar interests both on the water and ashore. Whether you’re a power boater, sail boater, or both, our activities, programs, races, and cruises, offer something for everyone! Our membership includes individuals new to boating, and others who’ve spent a lifetime on boats, and still others who are a veterans of blue water passages. Whether you’re new to the area, or long time coastal residents, you’ll find some of the most friendly and interesting people on the water here at Fairfield Harbour Yacht Club! We invite you to explore our website, look over the activities and schedules, and become familiar with our membership application process.
The Adventure Continues!
