The Conanicut Yacht Club is a 'member only' organization but they DO have space available for private (non-member) events. Sitting directly on Narragansett Bay, just south of the Newport Bridge, you would be hard pressed to find a nicer spot. The wait staff here really knows how to make their guests feel special. The menu is large and if you have a particular type of event in mind, they will help make it happen. From fairy tale wedding to baby shower tea, or cocktail party, they can handle it all. They are even available for business meetings. If you are a member of a private yacht club with reciprocity, bring your member ID card and have lunch on the water in the summer or rent a mooring for a night or two. Call the General Manager to plan your event, or the office to rent a mooring and find out more about reciprocal dining.
My experience as a guest was very disappointing, the food and service was immaculate. However, there seems to be very concerning observed behaviors from the manager particularly given the current pandemic. For example, there were many times she was visiting tables without wearing her mask properly, and she was the only staff noticeably not wearing or gloves or consistently hand sanitizing. Additionally, when asked questions regarding the menu, she seemed to be unable to provide useful knowledge or answer questions without assistance. Again regarding COVID concerns the tables in our "tent" were way too close to each other and seemed to be seated past capacity guidelines. Overall, my visit to this establishment was not what I had hoped for given the good things I have heard about their food. It should be their priority to resolve these issues with their management in order to try to maintain member satisfaction because I expected more from a private club.

In the summer of 1891, a group of Jamestown summer residents, most of them from Philadelphia, met to organize a yacht club. In October 1892, the Conanicut Yacht Club was issued a Certificate of Incorporation.
The following spring, a covered pier was erected on land purchased by the club on the east side of Conanicus Avenue at the end of Brook Street. The first clubhouse, built partially over the water on pilings, opened in 1894. By 1900, 122 member families were paying annual dues of $5 each.
Many of members were also members of the Jamestown Club, a men’s only social club; and in 1916, the two organizations merged. The yacht club then built a new and larger clubhouse providing more rooms for socializing for men and women and extending further out over the pier.
The club sponsored an annual “Water Sports” – a day-long marathon of sporting competitions open to all town residents. Diving contests, swimming meets, canoe joisting and boat races for all classes were held. According to club records, “townies” triumphed in most events. The club also hosted weekly dances and frequent whist parties. In 1951 tennis was added when the club leased and later purchased the tennis courts on Shoreby Hill.

Though the hurricane of 1938 only demolished the club pier, which was repaired for $1850, Hurricane Carol in 1954 wiped out the club’s entire fleet, destroyed the pier and severely damaged the clubhouse. In 1955, the club decided that rather than rebuild or restore the clubhouse, it would move into an 1890’s Shingle Style cottage on Bay View Drive.
Besides organizing social and sporting events for its members, the yacht club sponsors the annual Round the Island Race. This twenty-mile course race has been held annually since 1927, drawing nearly 100 racing and cruising sailboats in recent years. The race is followed by an awards ceremony party on the lawn of the club.
