35 Years of Tradition
The Tall Oaks Yacht Club was founded in 1990 for the primary purpose of fostering yachting and sportsmanship on the lower Barnegat Bay.
It has always been the intent of the governing officers to guide the club and its members toward developing good sportsmanship and yachting, primarily through the sport of boating.
A Message from the Commodore
​
Welcome to TOYC 2025. Today is the first day of Spring. The weather this winter has been mild with little to
no snow. Windy but mild. Hope all members are looking forward to a fun TOYC Summer program.
The TOYC 2024 season ended in a ball…a Bowling Ball. What fun we had with 27 members joining in and acting
like children. Although a bit sore for days after, we all had a great time.
The 2025 TOYC event schedule has been posted. Both Web site and Facebook. Hope you have a chance to
review. This year's calendar is different than the past, with many changes. The biggest… New Venue
areas for all members to meet for after race Socials.
It's always great to see everyone joining in and having a great time at all the events.
