Yacht Club is proud to announce the

Annual Miami to Key Largo Race

The Club
was originally founded in 1927 as
the Southern Florida Boat Racing Association. Since the
inception, the Club's purpose was to provide a venue 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.
Our philosophy is to
include all who wish to take part. Our lay back attitude
and family oriented atmosphere is attracting experienced salty
dogs, rookie ones as well as families who have a passion for the
outdoor lifestyle we have to offer. 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.
Interesting
enough, the Club is sometimes referred to as
the P-MYC, "the poor man's yacht club," because we accept people
from "all walks of life", just as we have from the day the
original founders created the Club. In this way, we have
remained true to our heritage, which is to say that we keep to a
non-discriminatory membership policy, as we always have.
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.
