Morris Yacht and Beach Club

All About The Morris Yacht and Beach Club
For over 100 years, our Club has been an institution on City Island, and our clubhouse a welcome landmark for sailors returning from a day, weekend or extended cruise. Many have celebrated birthdays, weddings and other important events at our club, and some members have seen their children and grandchildren grow up and thrive here. Even members who don't live on City Island call our community their second home.

When we lost the clubhouse on March 9th, many City Islanders feared that the Morris was gone, and that the property so loved by members and non-members alike would be sold. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Within days of the fire, Commodores from the Harlem YC, Stuyvesant YC and City Island YC called to offer meeting space and any other accommodations that we needed. The Commander of the island's American Legion post as well as the Lido Restaurant also offered their facilities to us. At his invitation, a delegation from our Board of Directors met with Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion, who graciously expressed his enthusiastic support and offered his office's assistance.

As we celebrate the 2008 season and rebuilding of our Club, we will never forget the outpouring of warm feelings, generosity and support that our fellow City Islanders have shown us. We at the Morris Yacht & Beach Club are proud and honored to be a part of the City Island community.
