1% Back to Promote a Healthy Chesapeake Bay

It wasn't long ago that we could wade into the waters of the Chesapeake and see right to the bottom filled with sea grasses. I can recall watching the keel of our JBoat slice through clear water as if our boat was floating on air. I also remember letting the kids flip their dinghies to escape the summer heat and go for a swim - and never having to give a second thought about the quality of the water. We want this back - for ourselves, for our kids and for everyone who visits the Chesapeake. To help make this a reality, North Point Yacht Sales contributes 1% our profits back to our community to help with restoring the water quality of the Chesapeake and to promoting the sailing heritage that makes Annapolis truly unique in all the world.

Annapolis Yacht Club Foundation

North Point Yacht Sales stands behind the efforts of the Annapolis Yacht Club Foundation (AYCF) in its efforts to grow the sport of sailing and to giving back to the maritime community. AYCF's mission is to increase exposure to the Chesapeake Bay to enable us all to share in the bounties of the Bay. AYCF also works to increase awareness of the Bay’s maritime heritage, economic importance, and environmental fragility empowering us all to become better stewards of the treasure in our backyard.

North Point Yacht Sales is committed to improving the state of the Chesapeake for the benefit of future sailors, power boaters, fishermen and anyone who loves the smell of the fresh salt air on the winds of a clean bay.
