Company Description

Devon is dedicated to family, friendship and community and seeks to encourage and promote the sport of yachting, the science of seamanship and navigation as well as the sport of tennis.

Established as the Gardiner’s Bay Boat Club in 1908, the Devon Yacht Club, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of New York on November 8, 1916, on land provided by the Gardiner’s Bay Company. Founding members who had been active in the original boat club included William S. Rowe, Colonel William Cooper Proctor, Joseph Rawson, and Richmond Levering.

For more than a century our members have raced and sailed for pleasure in the southeast portion of Gardiner’s Bay, one of the finest sailing venues on the east coast. These protected waters with steady breezes are also ideal for youth instruction and since 1934 the Club has conducted its summer sailing program for children age 5-16. In addition to sailing, Devon offers outstanding tennis and bridge programs and a beautiful setting for dining overlooking Gardiner’s Bay.
