Where is the Occoquan Yacht Club?
Where do you keep your boat? That's right, the club is wherever our members are. OYC has members in every marina on the river from Washington to Quantico plus some out-of-towners who keep in touch with a network of friends that has been growing steadily since OYC's founding in 1984. There is no clubhouse, which means no dues-supported mortgage.
