Royal Yacht Club of Victoria

More Information

The Royal Yacht Club of Victoria (RYCV), originally founded as the Port Phillip Yacht Club in May 1853, is one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious yacht clubs.

Located in picturesque Williamstown, the Club offers breathtaking views of the city skyline with complete waterfrontage and is rich in yachting history and tradition.

Today, RYCV boasts more than 1,000 Members and over 200 yachts on the register, making it an ideal Club for sailors with all levels of experience. Sailors can enjoy reliable and steady breezes with little or no current, making it a perfect stretch of water for club sailing or state, national and international regattas.

The Royals Training Centre offers a range of courses for all ages, while the Club’s lively social program ensures a welcoming atmosphere for Members and guests alike. The Club’s restaurant and bar offer an excellent seasonal menu, best enjoyed with stunning views from the deck or lawn.

RYCV is a hub for maritime enthusiasts and a beloved part of the local community.
