We appreciate your interest in membership at Mission Bay Yacht Club, an active and accessible club with one of the best dinghy sailing venues in the world.
Sailboat Racing has been the core activity at Mission Bay Yacht Club since our founding in 1927. We have 18 active racing fleets, including one-design monohulls, sport boats, catamarans, windsurfers, and handicap keelboats. We host more than 130 days of racing a year on Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean, including short courses, seasonal invitationals, national championships, and weeknight racing from May through September. MBYC has twice been named US Sailing One-Design Club of the Year.
Our Cruising Fleet includes 200 members with a diverse array of sail and powerboats. They host an annual cruise to Catalina Island, a chili cook-off, a fish fry, and several large raft-ups. MBYC anglers fish inshore and offshore with lines and spears in boats ranging from 18 to 80 ft.
On shore, MBYC hosts legendary parties and social events, including a traditional yacht club “Opening Day,” a luau, and kid-focused Easter, Halloween, and Christmas celebrations. We've got a terrific bar, and the galley offers classic pub fare and more formal options on Friday evenings. Members relax year-round on our beach, and their kids grow up splashing and paddling around in our protected swimming area.
The MBYC Junior Program teaches kids as young as five years old to sail and to love the water, using our fleet of more than 80 club boats. From there, they can build beginner and intermediate ta racing skills, learn basic marine science and seamanship, and begin to compete in regattas. During the summer, junior sailing programs are structured in two-week sessions, like day camps. The rest of the year, we offer after school and weekend programs. MBYC’s youth racing teams compete year-round at the national and international levels.
MBYC offers adult sailing lessons in the summer, and subscription-based charter through our Club Keelboat Program.
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 to make an appointment.
