AYC Mission Statement: The Arizona Yacht Club is the largest sailing organization in Arizona, enriching our community by promoting the sport of sailing through social activities, competitive racing, cruising, education, and fellowship among our members, their families, and friends.
Commodore’s Message
Welcome to the Arizona Yacht Club!
Sailing is alive and well in the greater Phoenix area. Since our humble beginnings in 1958, AYC has continued to create the region’s best sailing opportunities for its members and guests! In addition to a love for all things sailing – camaraderie and friendships are a key part of what keeps the wind in our sails.
You can sail with us year-round at both Lake Pleasant and Tempe Town Lake. Our Monthly Speaker Series is one of the best in sailing and our social and cruising calendar is growing right along with our family of members! Check out our racing program, US Sailing-certified education opportunities, monthly meetings, cruising, and social events that fill our active calendar.
Every club event is organized, implemented and supported 100% by our member volunteers and we would not have survived this long without their knowledge, skill, commitment and care. We are certainly worth checking out if you’ve ever been curious about sailing.
Please visit our Join page if you are interested in AYC membership. Our club offers significant value, including free memories. And take a few minutes to read this fun article written by one of our long-standing members, “New Guy’s Guide” to the Arizona Yacht Club.
Basically, we socialize, we race, we cruise, and we have fun in the desert! I look forward to seeing you on the water or at one of our many events.
