Events & News

(OHYC) provides an environment of camaraderie and sportsmanship, to promote an interest in boating and boating related activities and to provide a forum for the exchange of boating information. The OHYC continues the traditions of the Deception Pass Boat Club, of which the OHYC is a direct descendant. While basically a boating organization, the Club membership is open to non-boaters and boaters alike. We offer a full range of social activity from Hamburger/potluck Fridays, and cook your own chicken or steak Wednesdays, to monthly sit-down dining in our ballroom. The clubroom is open Wednesday through Saturday for cocktails. Thursdays have become game/old movie night. Traditional events include Opening Day, Pirate’s Children Fishing Derby, Holiday Lighted Boat Parade, Commodore’s Ball, and New Years Ball. These events are augmented by other monthly events based on holidays or themes. Our Ballroom is available for private parties and may be rented to either members or non-members. The Cruise Fleet sponsors several cruises each year. These include such events as Anchoring 101, an excellent experience for new boaters. In addition, cruises include weekend/holiday cruises to the San Juan Islands, extended cruises to the Canadian Islands and beyond, as well as to the south sound.
