Camden Yacht Club History

Rich in history and tradition, the Camden Yacht Club (CYC) is situated in Camden, Maine surroundings that are a unique blend of beauty and history.

In 1902, a group of local yachting enthusiasts, including Cyrus Curtis, T.J. French and Chauncy B. Borland met together to discuss a shared vision. Four years later, that shared vision resulted in the founding of the Camden Yacht Club, an organization dedicated to the promotion of all aspects of yachting, in Camden,Maine.

A few years later, nationally renowned architect, John Calvin Stevens, was hired to design the present-day shingle style clubhouse, with its oriental overtones and large porches, situated on what had earlier been the old lime kiln property on Bay View Street.

In 1980, the clubhouse was placed on the National Historic Register.
