The Miami Yacht Club is Miami!
The Miami Yacht Club was originally founded in 1927 as the Southern Florida Boat Racing Association, primarily for sailing enthusiasts from all walks of life, who wished to organize and participate in sailboat races. Seven years later, we acquired our current name and twenty years after the Club was founded moved to our permanent home on the northeastern tip of Watson Island near Government Cut.
For more than 80 years, we have played an active role in the local community, now looking back at generations of MYC families who have and are serving and fostering an appreciation for our beautiful waters and making the Club accessible to everyone. Our philosophy is to include all who wish to take part.
We are fully committed to teaching children, teens, adults and families how to sail. We offer classes in sailing for all ages through the MYC Youth Sailing Foundation. Classes are open to everyone – not just members. Discounted memberships are available to City of Miami residents.
