The Brethren of the Harbour is a private yacht club based at Occoquan Harbour Marina, dedicated to providing our member a fun and drama-free boating experience. We hold occasional meetings, plan group trips, and mostly try to not take ourselves too seriously. Many of our traditions are of a tongue-in-cheek nature, and meant to be in good fun.

Anyone who is over 21 and keeps a vessel at Occoquan Harbour Marina may apply for membership. See our Quartermaster for details!
