The Palm Beach Yacht Club was established in 1985 to promote friendly sailing in all the races it conducts and activities it supports.
“The objective of the Club shall be to foster, encourage and engage in the sport of sailing”
If you enjoy Sailing, Cruising, Racing or just boating on Pittwater, you should think about joining the Palm Beach Yacht Club. At Palm Beach Yacht Club you can sail, cruise or race with friends on beautiful Pittwater & the surrounding waterways with year round on-water activities. In addition, you have access to shared Club Casual Moorings in three different locations. All this for only $330 pa for full family Boat Owner Membership or $70 pa for individual Crew (non-boat owning) Membership. This also includes complimentary membership of Club Palm Beach. Our smaller fleet sizes are ideal for less experienced sailors to safely get in to Yacht Racing and learn more about their boat with minimal stress.E-mail us at palmbeachyachtclub@outlook.com for more information
