Activities
Providing Members and their families a home away from home, Great Harbor creates memorable experiences and fosters lasting relationships.
With Young Explorer, Ports & Courts, Critter Cruises, Family Dinner Night, and Bingo — to name just a few of our Junior Yacht Club activities — our youngest Members always have something fun to participate in. Everyone deserves a great summer vacation, and our goal is to help create those summer memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
The fishing program at the Club has only one goal: to get Members out on the spectacular waters surrounding Nantucket. We’re never sure who’s smile is bigger — the young fisherman catching his first scup on our docks or seasoned Members coming in from an excursion, swapping fish tales about the big one that got away.
True health can only be achieved by embracing a holistic approach to wellness that balances exercise, rest, pleasure, and nutrition. The pursuit of this balance is the foundation of wellness at the Sports Barn.
We offer a range of physical activities, classes, and services that help you challenge your body, improve your conditioning, and embrace healthy nutritional habits. From yoga and personal training to individualized nutrition consulting, our wellness philosophy is designed to empower you to live an inspired, active, healthy, and fulfilling life.
Great Harbor Yacht Club offers our Members and their guests unparalleled access to the water from our corner of the harbor. Our waterfront programs are the lifeblood of our club, and they range from sailing lessons to racing clinics — for young and old alike.
The Spa at the Great Harbor Yacht Club is a serene place for relaxation, renewal, and restoration. Spend an hour — or an entire afternoon — in our luxurious Spa unwinding by the sea.
The family pool is perfect for a quick dip after a tennis clinic or just spending lazy afternoons poolside. Our snackbar offers many family-friendly and healthy choices, making it easy to spend the day relaxing instead of worrying about the inconveniences of the beach. And our adult-only lap pool, located only steps away, provides the perfect venue for an invigorating early-morning swim and for our popular aqua-exercise class.
Our eight Har-Tru courts and fantastic tennis instructors provide an accommodating environment either to sharpen your game or to play a few casual sets with friends, regardless of your level of play. We offer more than 100 hours of instructional play weekly for both adults and juniors.
Our squash pro offers private lessons, and our dedicated players and competitive Members squash ladder keep the squash court busy throughout the season.
