About:

Deep Creek Yacht Club has a long history of sailing on Deep Creek Lake. The corporation was chartered as a non-profit organization in 1948. During the next 16 years the sailing and social activities were housed in a leased property on Turkey Neck (across the lake from its current location). In 1965 DCYC relocated to Shoreline Drive in Thousand Acres, Swanton, MD.

The current club facility was designed and built by members. There is a common kitchen, ward room, ballroom, men's and women's dormitories for 16 people, a nursery for children 6 and under, and 15 leased residential staterooms.

Deep Creek Yacht Club Corporate members possess a "can-do" attitude.

Everyone participates to keep the membership affordable.Club activities generally begin the third week of April, and run through the third week of September.
