Description

Raritan YC Perth Amboy, New Jersey, the location of Raritan Yacht Club, was organized in 1683. It was for a time the capital of East Jersey. In both the pre-Civil War and post-Civil War years, Perth Amboy found itself something of a resort -- a few fine hotels drew visitors for their summer vacations from Newark and New York. With its bay full of deep, clean water and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, Perth Amboy was a natural site for boating enthusiasts returning from the Civil War. The Club is located at the western end of Raritan Bay, about 12 miles from Sandy Hook, New Jersey. Deep water (40+ feet) access is available through ship channels. Staten Island, New York, is to the immediate east across Arthur Kill, and South Amboy, New Jersey, is to the south across the Raritan River. Several full service yards are located on nearby Cheesequake Creek.
