Get Your Fill at The Wharf

Fresh seafood is a given on the waterfront. But The Wharf offers more, including a wide selection of distinctive choices for food, drinks, and entertainment while you eat. Watch the chefs prepare your meal. Listen to music. Or just people-watch while you savor the flavors of The Wharf.

Visit the Fish Market

Enjoy the freshest fish from one of the country’s oldest fish markets. Oysters on the half shell. Blue crabs by the bushel. Whole fishes caught that morning. And a low-key atmosphere that makes everything taste even better. Stop by for the food or the fishmongers—the Municipal Fish Market never disappoints.

Be sure to keep this e-mail handy to help track our progress. Our key goals for 2024 will be as follows:

1. Obtain our SYC Lease

2. Update Bylaw Articles to include the SYC website, social media, but not limited to other important governance matters that need updating in the bylaws​

3. Fellowship through fund raising – 1 SYC Captains Ball (1 Formal Affair and 1 seasonal ball (Summer/Fall)), 1 SYC Crab Feast, 1 SYC night out, sponsor/host another summer jazz venue

4. Participate in updated "Stakeholders" meetings with DC Government Agencies regarding the  Anacostia River  initiatives with one or more of our partner organizations (i.e. PRYCA, Anacostia Waterfront Trust, 11th Street Bridge Park, other surrounding Boathouse Row Clubs, ANC 6B, SE Community friends and associates, etc).

5. Continue to work more closely with our established 501c3 nonprofit partners to help obtain grants for our outreach efforts, support for historic preservation, education, marina grants, etc.

6. Use email, website and social media to communicate better with our supporters

7. Fulfill open SYC membership opportunities via "Fellowship Fridays"

8. Remove abandoned vessels from SYC premises

These are just a few of the top level 2024 goals for SYC's forward progress.

NO SYC CAPTAIN WILL BE LEFT BEHIND OR UNDER THE RADAR! WE NEED YOU IN 2024! MAKE SYC A PRIORITY in 2024!
