Rockport Yacht Club's 2023 Annual Nautical Flea Market

About the event:

The Rockport Yacht Club has hosted this event in some form or other for over 20 years. It started when a few RYC members gathered together to trade or swap with each other in front of the club. Others from the harbor area wanted to get involved and it gathered a bit of steam. From a small RYC group, and the surrounding harbor having so much to swap/trade, it quickly jumped to a full-fledged "Event". The Rockport Yacht Club is now proud to host The Annual Nautical Flea Market on the Rockport Harbor the first weekend of May. We emphasize Nautically, but you can find much more than nautical.


Rockport Yacht Club's 2023 Annual Nautical Flea Market has over 60 vendors featuring many things nautical and all things wonderful! Food vendors are located at the end of the pier. The Drink vendor is located at the Rockport Yacht Club Porch with non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages available.
