From the reviews
A full service yacht club complete with dry storage yard, 5 ton hoist, Sailing Camp for kids in the summer as well as adult sailing lessons. Many social activities including a Veterans Day Regatta supporting wounded veterans. They are a member of the G.Y.A. with reciprocal privileges.
An awesome yacht club. I have watched it grow over the decades. Today, October 30th, 2022, we saw the Veteran's Refarta Ceremony. Beautiful. The giant American Flag was suspended high and a flag was raised on the yacht clubs mast poke. A lady sung a tear moving rendition of thee Star Spangled Banner.
Warm, friendly atmosphere with welcoming members and staff. Amazing place to host a party or to sip a drink on the water side deck and watch the sunset. It’s strikingly beautiful. Above all it’s a premiere club to join if you’re looking to sail more or to learn how to sail.
Private club with pool, event room, bar, and yacht club. Children and women educational programs offered. Recommend joining!
Getting married at Pontchartrain Yacht Club
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
