COME & SAIL WITH US!

ESSA is not a yacht club, but a group of sailors of all ages who are passionate about the sport and related activities whether racing, cruising, or day sailing. Our two fleets, the Choptank Fleet in Cambridge, MD, and the Tangier Fleet in Tyaskin, MD, sponsor weeknight buoy racing during the summer, special event racing over longer courses, day sails and picnics, and organized cruises to destinations around the Bay and beyond. Come Sail and Race on the Eastern Shore with us as we celebrate our 50th year!

We host weeknight around-the-buoy races over the summer, special event races, and day sails at our Maryland locations in Cambridge on the Choptank River and in Bivalve on the Nanticoke River.
