Representatives from the USCG Auxiliary will be on hand to provide free, voluntary vessel safety checks. Make sure that your boat has all required equipment on board – for the safety of you and your crew, and to be compliant with Federal and State laws.
Boats that pass inspection will be given a Vessel Safety Check sticker that tells authorities you recently complied with all regulations.
Sign up at the table in the main parking area on Saturday morning.
Every year, this is one of our most popular events. Breakfast with all the fixin’s on the deck overlooking the harbor. A perfect morning!

One of our most popular events of the summer is always the annual KYC cruise to Edgartown over the July 4th weekend. With this year’s Tuesday holiday, many of the KYC boats will be going for 4 or 5 days. You can stay as long as you like!
If you were not able to reserve one of the “sold out” moorings back on March 1st, there are a limited amount of slips at either www.theharborsideinn.com or www.madmaxmarina.com. Otherwise you can try the Edgartown Harbormaster www.edgartownharbor.com or call on channnel 74 upon arrival for any last minute cancellations. As an alternative there is always anchoring off of “Chappy” beach.
Activities in Edgartown this year will include dinghy trips to Chappaquiddick Island / Cape Poge Bay, parade viewing at the Harbor View Hotel, and a fireworks party on the night of the 4th.. Please contact Jerry Murphy at rear-commodore@kyc.us with any further questions and to confirm your arrival date and Edgartown location (slip, mooring or anchoring).
The KYC Boat Parade
Dress your boat for the holiday and join us at the head of the Kingman/Parkers channel at 11:00AM on the 4th. We’ll parade past the reviewing stand on the Kingman front docks, and we’ll have prizes for the most patriotic and best dressed boats. Please preregister your boat at drew@dimmick.net to be eligible for prizes.
