CLUB BOAT CHARTER COMPANY

Powered by Highfield Boats

Club Boat Charter Co.   was started in 2021 when our home club, Hampton Yacht Club, needed a coach boat for the summer camp season. We quickly recognized that sailing coaches, clubs, regatta organizers, and parents never have enough charter ribs available for events.

Club Boat Charter Co. is committed to providing quality service to all of our customers. We charter our boats for ANY sailing event where there is a need. We are expanding our fleet and look forward to providing boats across the country.

If you are looking for a long term charter, we can help!

If you are looking to purchase a new, or used rib, we can help!

Club Boat Charter Co. is committed to supporting the sport of sailing, and we are here to help your organization be successful!

Carol Terryberry grew up sailing on the Chesapeake Bay where she enjoyed both cruising and racing in large sailboats and one-designs. After taking sailing lessons at Hampton Yacht Club (HYC) as a child, she became an instructor as a teenager. Carol served as the Head Instructor for three years, managing approximately 120 kids for eight weeks each summer. Carol also ran a women’s sailing program at HYC with over fifty participants.

In 2001, after relocating to Elizabeth City, Carol started the Pasquotank River Yacht Club’s Junior Sailing camp.  The camp served about 40 kids per summer, sparking the founding of River City Community Sailing.

ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Spread the word:, read all about it, daily advance "favorable winds".

The River City Community Sailing Foundation’s vision is to increase the community’s access to and involvement in sailing, racing, and enjoyment of the natural beauty, ecological value, and historical significance of the Pasquotank River in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

OUR MISSION

The River City Sailing Foundation’s mission is to foster and facilitate recreational and competitive sailing, sportsmanship, water safety, teamwork, and community service for youth, families, and adults of Pasquotank and surrounding counties in Northeastern North Carolina.

OUR FOUNDATION

The RCCS Foundation is an organization that provides affordable coaching, training, and instruction in fundamental sailing skills.  The Foundation’s seminal program is the Youth Sailing Camp which utilizes “Reach,” U.S. Sailing’s national education initiative designed to inspire sailing programs and schools to utilize sailing as an educational platform for youth of all backgrounds.  The program modules are based on a STEM curriculum.

• How early/late may I drop off/pick up my child? Although we love your sailors and want them to feel at home at the Brady Sailing Center we cannot offer supervision outside of normal class times. Please drop off your child no more than 10 minutes before the start of your child’s class time. If you are running late due to traffic, please call the Sailing Director so we can plan accordingly.
• Is there a swim test required to participate in a class? Yes, being able to swim provides a comfort level in and around the water. We recommend that you learn how to swim prior to attending any HYC sailing class. Each child must be able to pass a short swim test consisting of swimming 50-100 yards and treading water for 3 minutes. All sailors will have the swim test conducted in their life jackets.
• Is lunch provided for full-day camps? Lunch is provided by the yacht club for the Opti 1 program.
• Do I have to be a member? No, you do not have to be a member of the yacht club to send your child to any of our programs. However, members and grandchildren of members will receive a discount. HYC also offers a Junior Membership! Junior membership is for those that love sailing and want to be on the water! All junior members receive member pricing discounts, can order at the restaurant, and purchase boat parts and apparel easily when needed.
• What happens in the event of bad weather or rain? HYC always puts safety first but we will not cancel or offer refunds for inclement weather. All instructors are qualified to run classes that maximize training value based on the weather conditions. In the event of thunderstorms or windy conditions, land-based activities will take place. Under US Sailing, we wait 30 minutes after hearing the last thunder sound until we can start sailing again.
• What should my child bring/wear? Every day, sailors must bring closed-toe shoes (no flip flops!), a US Coast Guard approved life-jacket with a whistle attached to it, face covering, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, a towel, a change of clothes, and weather appropriate clothing/bathing suit.
• Where do I get sailing clothes? When it comes to sailing gear there are many brands to choose from, HYC recommends a local business, Rooster Sailing. Rooster sailing offers discounts to high school sailors and has the best selection of gear for a competitive price and great quality. Rooster Sailing gear can be ordered through the HYC apparel shop.
• Is there a Summer Handbook that can answer the rest of the questions I might have? Yes, the Handbook can be found on the Summer Programs webpage.
