April 17, 2010.

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.
