About Miami Yacht Club

Miami Yacht Club, on Watson Island between Downtown Miami, Edgewater, and South Beach, has been actively working with the community for over 80 years to foster an appreciation in the beautiful waters of Miami. The spacious club grounds on Miami’s Biscayne Bay offer a popular restaurant on the covered outdoor patio, cozy bar, pool, all overlooking the shallow beach, in the ideal location to both safely explore dinghy and small catamaran sailing. The docks and classroom are ideal for the new Adult Instructional Center for to teach keelboat sailing and develop advanced sailing skills.

Founded in 1927 as the Southern Florida Boat Racing Association, the focus was primarily on sailing and racing. The 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Miami Yacht Club Youth Sailing Foundation teaches children, teenagers, and adults to sail. The club is an incubator for dinghy and catamaran racing up to foiling platforms and their sailors have represented the Miami Yacht Club all over the world: from youth events to the 2024 Olympics. The efforts of their internationally recognized coaches, dedicated sailors and MYC families made them the “Home of Sailing Champions!”

The US Sailing Adult Instructional Center is expanding the prior programming and sailing options to increase member and community access to high quality sailing courses and certifications of all levels.
