What's On

Our History

Welcome to RYC

Rye Yacht Club is where sailing, community, and adventure come together. From first-time sailors to seasoned racers, juniors to adults, there’s a place for everyone on the water. Join us to learn, play, and grow in a friendly, family-focused environment, enjoy a vibrant social calendar, and experience the beauty of Port Phillip Bay from our modern beachfront clubhouse. Come for the sailing — stay for the friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

Sail, Connect, Belong

Learn to Sail & Enjoy Water Sports

From your first tack to advanced sailing, Rye Yacht Club has programs for all ages and skill levels. Learn to sail, try windsurfing, paddle boarding, or wing foiling, join our kayaking or outrigger group, and discover the joy of being on the water in a supportive, fun environment.

A Community That Welcomes Everyone

RYC is more than a sailing club — it’s a place where friendships are made, families connect, and all skill levels are embraced. Whether you’re racing, learning, or simply filling your social cup with camaraderie and sunsets by the bay, you’ll find a warm, inclusive community ready to welcome you.

Caring for Our Oceans

We love the waters we sail in and are committed to protecting them. Plastic pollution is a global issue, affecting oceans everywhere. RYC members can support ocean conservation through donations, helping us keep our beloved waterways clean, healthy, and thriving for generations to come.

From learn-to-sail programs to championship regattas, RYC is home to a diverse and thriving water sports community — from snorkelling and kayak adventures, sailing and outrigger canoeing, to windsurfing and wing-foiling. We’re proud to host events like the Capel Sound Invitational, Mosquito Championships, and Windsurfer Championships, bringing together sailors of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re just starting out on the water or chasing the thrill of competition, you’ll find a friendly, welcoming club ready to share the experience with you.
