The Foundation is dedicated to promoting and preserving Nantucket Harbor and its marine ecosystem.
The Great Harbor Yacht Club Foundation was formed in 2018 with an urgent goal in mind that affects the entire Nantucket community.
The Foundation identifies and funds projects that meaningfully improve the health of the harbor and its marine ecosystem.
Improving the quality of our Harbor’s water and marine habitat is possible.
We are supported by scientific advisors with experience in eel grass, water quality, and shellfish population rehabilitation. With their guidance, we are focused on a healthier future for Nantucket Harbor.

“The harbor is the vitality of the Club. On Friday night we gather for drinks by the harbor. We eat oysters from the head of the harbor. We look over the harbor as we dine from our decks. We race our boats in the harbor. Our kids fish in the harbor. In the fall we scallop in the harbor. Without a doubt, we are the direct beneficiaries of a clean and vibrant harbor.”
— Elliot Gewirtz, President of GHYCF
