The Long Branch Ice Boat and Yacht Club was founded in 1901 on the banks of the Shrewsbury River, with the objectives of fostering yachting and yachting pursuits, the encouragement of yacht building and improvement of design, the maintenance of inland and coastal water courses and the proper regulation of the same; the preservation of the art of sailing and the instruction of the members therein, and the highest ideals of sportsmanship.
The home waters of the club consist of the waters of the Shrewsbury River from Sea Bright, New Jersey southerly to Pleasure Bay, Long Branch, New Jersey and westerly to Gooseneck Bridge on Oceanport Creek, together with all adjoining tributaries
We maintain an active fleet that enjoys fishing, cruising, sailing, and ice boating. The club is busiest during the summer season, but we have an active winter fleet sails on home ice and travels to compete on "hard water."

Boaters Blessing: May there always be water under your boat,
May she always be seaworthy, ever afloat,
May the bilge pump be certain to work night and day,
May the compass and charts always show the safe way,
May you find gentle harbor as every day ends,
May you lower your anchor amidst peace and good friends. Contacting the LBIB&YC
