The Everett Yacht Club is a 501(c)(7) not-for-profit social organization
Our Purpose
We believe recreational boating is a healthy endeavor that enriches family relationships and fosters community through social activities. Everything we do promotes responsible, safe and enjoyable recreational boating for our members and for the greater community.
Business Sponsorship supports our purpose. It is created specifically for selected businesses to promote their products to and through club members, as well as visitors, both online and in-person.
