We appreciate your interest regarding membership at Mission Bay Yacht Club. Our Club offers a variety of benefits and programs for boating enthusiasts of all ages on San Diego's largest playground, Mission Bay.

As a member of Mission Bay Yacht Club, you will have the opportunity to get involved in Club sponsored fleets that include several one-design sailing fleets, a racing/cruising fleet, and a power fleet. In addition to fleet activities, the Club hosts various social events during the year. Our year-round junior program provides sailing instruction, summer programs, and activities for the younger Club members.

Mission Bay Yacht Club has a strong tradition of Corinthian sailboat racing. This is encouraged by Club sponsored regattas throughout the year. You will find national champions and novices alike competing in our regattas. Mission Bay Yacht Club's ideal location makes it a favorite venue for national and world championship sailing regattas. Recently, the US Sailing Association named MBYC the "One-Design Yacht Club of the Year".

We invite you to learn more about Mission Bay Yacht Club by meeting some of our members and touring the facilities. Please contact the Club at (858) 488-0501 and leave a message for our Membership Director.
