Whether you're a lifelong mariner, a weekend sailor, or just dipping your toes into the boating lifestyle, the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club (BHYC) invites you to its Marine Swap and Flea Market on Sunday, June 22, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Club’s parking lot at 156 Western Avenue, West Boothbay Harbor. 

This community-driven event is a great opportunity to clear out your boat lockers, garages, and sheds - and to find some hidden treasures in the process. Marine swaps and yard sales like this one offer a sustainable and affordable way to keep boating accessible while giving new life to quality gear, equipment, and parts that might otherwise go unused. 

Tables are provided (or bring your own), and there is no fee to participate. Sellers keep 100% of their sales, but must remain with their items - no unattended tables or drop-offs, please. Expect to find all kinds of nautical goods, from rope and rigging to hardware, clothing, tools, and more. 

It’s a fun, informal way to connect with others in the boating community. We all have gear we no longer use, and this is a chance to pass it along to someone who will. 

To add to the fun, coffee and donuts will be available for purchase from BHYC’s Junior Sailors, and Chef RaymondFranklyn will be serving up one of his signature brunches. The event is open to the public and is a great opportunity for all residents and guestsofthe Boothbay Region to get to know the club in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
