Visiting SYC
As of March 16, 2020, Seattle Yacht Club is not accepting reciprocal visits nor moorage until further notice.
As a private club, Seattle Yacht Club welcomes guests to our Portage Bay Mainstation for a variety of occasions. Guests of members are always welcome when accompanied by their member host. For public events, such as Opening Day and sailing classes, the public is invited to join in the fun while abiding by the regulations of the occasion. Guests attending private events, such as weddings, reunions, and business meetings, are invited to our Mainstation and Elliott Bay Outstation within the parameters of the private event. Reciprocal guests of select yacht clubs are also invited to use our restaurants, bar, retail and guest moorage.
Sailing
SYC offers the sailing community racing and cruising events through out the year. The SYC Sailing program offers Adult Sailing Lessons, Youth Summer Sailing School, Junior Racing, and hosts Regattas throughout the year. All of these programs are open to non-members.
Powerboat
Many Seattle Yacht Club members cruise the waters of the Pacific Northwest in powerboats. Whether touring the Club’s 10 Outstations, located from Gig Harbor in the south to Cortes Bay in the north, or exploring the fresh water lakes, our members tend to enjoy their time on the water.
