The Club provides dock space, including 144 slips, year round for lease to its 225 regular membership units. In addition, there are approximately 50 dry storage spaces for sailboats on trailers and beach spaces for smaller sailboats.

The Club holds two major regattas each year: Keowee cup in the spring and turkey shoot in the fall. These two events are races that attract sailors from the membership as well as surrounding clubs in several states and have over 15 participating boats with about 80 participating sailors and volunteers. In 2021, due to the lingering covid-19 virus, both regattas had modified activities for Club members only. There are also 4 racing series year-round: fright series (fall), frostbite series (winter), hot rudder bums series (spring), and simmer series (summer) which involve approximately 15 boats.
