The Wendell Family started their fireworks display on July 4, 1965, entertaining family and friends. The following year, they expanded the show and moved to a public location in Rockport, attracting larger crowds. Jerry and later his sons Wayde and Shawn became certified pyrotechnicians and continued to increase the size and quality of the fireworks.


In the 1970s, with the support of residents and businesses, the show evolved into an outstanding display. The tradition continues to be celebrated annually, now managed by the Wendell Family Fund, a non-profit organization. The show has grown tremendously over the years and is funded by private donations. It is a fully tax-deductible 501(c)(3) public charity.

Meet a group of sailors who are committed to building community and supporting each other as they sail the seas. The Rockport Yacht Club is an organization with members that help plan events for club gatherings or participate in local races like “Clubhouse Races” or offshore regattas such as Port Mansfield Regatta. As one learns about this dynamic yacht club, it’s exciting to imagine what adventures await when you become part of its diverse membership!

Rockport Yacht Club

Rockport Yacht Club Rockport Texas

Who they are

The Rockport Yacht Club is a dynamic non-profit organization dedicated to realizing the social and nautical potential of its members.

Vision

is to have the Rockport Yacht Club recognized

as a socially- and nautically connected, valued community member.

Mission

shall be to serve the interests of its members by:

  1. Promoting water activities for both youth and adults.

  2. Providing a suitable facility whereby members are able to gather in a social atmosphere.

  3. Cultivating excellent community relations

  4. Honoring the historic legacy of our club.

Purpose

is to foster positive behaviors while networking within the nautical community.


In a bold move, the Rockport Sailing Club decided in 1993 to change its name to Rockport Yacht Club. They felt this was an opportunity for them not only to welcome those who enjoy boating and water sports but also sailboats themselves. The club is now for people who sail, powerboat or do not boat. This organization is both a Texas chartered non-profit corporation and serves the sailing needs of the Texas Gulf Coast. These include Rockport and Coastal Bend. The club has bylaws that define its purpose and structure.

We will be able to lift the boat and complete sanding of the bottom.

The Club is a group of people who help in the community and take care of themselves. They have many races: Club Races, Lighthouse Races, and Port Mansfield Regatta. The Club also does social events. They also organize several social events weekly throughout the year. The club participates in Oysterfest, 4th of July, and Christmas celebrations with floats and lighted boat parades.

The current Clubhouse was purchased in 1984 and has gone through numerous changes. Expansion and remodeling were completed in mid-2003 and provided us with the wonderful facility we have today. The damage resulting from Hurricane Harvey has been repaired. Our clubhouse can be rented for business or social events: use the “Clubhouse” tab to fill out a request for a reservation.



Here are the directions to the Rockport Yacht Club located near the Rockport Harbor in Rockport Texas Aransas County.
