What makes the Red Eye Yacht Club so special?
The Red Eye Yacht Club (REYC) is a private boating club located on scenic Sue Creek in Baltimore County. We are members of the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Club Association and the Yacht Clubs of Maryland. The Red Eye Yacht Club, Inc was founded in 1963 and has developed into one of the most popular clubs on the bay. The club was organized by a group of local boaters for the primary purpose of promoting yachting, seamanship, and a variety of boating activities for the enjoyment of its members and their families, all while enjoying the bay and its many offerings. Our members make our club special. Each member has a vested stock in REYC, Inc. There is pride knowing this is “my” club and strive to make it the best it can be! The club house sits on a beautifully landscaped waterfront parcel of land on Sue Creek. It is a strategically located just minutes from the bay. Following the guarded channel along the Baltimore Yacht Club, Sue Creek opens up into an estuary of bay wildlife and beauty. The location offers easy access to many boating destinations.
