Hout Bay Yacht Club The Hout Bay Yacht Club was founded in 1978 as a keelboat club. Today, your adventure starts here! The sailing fraternity is enthusiastic and also very friendly.

Our members are made up of competitive yachtsmen, weekend sailors and cruisers, and those who simply enjoy the social aspect. HBYC is a great place to meet new people and the bar offers great value and is the perfect venue for a drink, events or to watch sports on our big screens. The Galley is open on busy nights, and serves a variety of food at excellent prices! For yachstmen, HBYC represents the perfect balance of competitive vs social sailing. Focus is very much on participation. The harbour is small and it takes only a few seconds to get out into the bay - which is spectacularly scenic and pleasant. During the summer months, the prevailing South-Easter flattens the sea making for exciting sailing in the fresh winds. During winter, the North-Westers are also off-shore for most of the bay which makes great inshore racing. And yet the South-Wester is the steadiest wind in the bay, especially during summer when the sea is usually very flat. HBYC Marina offers great value as a place to keep your boat. We do not have expensive insurance fees, and rentals are reasonable. Mooring prices in the marina range from around R40k to R100k, and all are safe and satisfactory. Very good value all round!

Have you considered sailing as a different way to enjoy the outdoors?

Come and feel the exhilaration of being carried across the water by the wind in the sails. Enjoy the beauty of this very special bay, the fresh air and the wind in your hair. Keep an eye out for dolphins, seals and penguins, but give the whales plenty of space.

Share the camaraderie of sailing with a crew, then enjoy time with them after the sail and the warmth of Hout Bay Yacht Club hospitality.

Here is how to get on board:
Join one of our two development boats in the regular HBYC Saturday race
Put your name down to crew on one of our two-crew Hunters
Or hire a Club Hunter and be Master and Commander of your own boat

What a cracker of a Saturday at HBYC! Yesterday was buzzing with energy, non-stop smiles, and a handful of fun firsts:
​Open Day Success: Our president, Paul Tomes, kicked things off by showing off the absolute best of club life. The proof is in the pudding: 5 new members joined the family right on the spot! Welcome aboard, team!
​Bridge Deck Sizzles: Birthday vibes reached a whole new level with our very first Argentinian-style spitbraai—and wow, did it look (and smell!) incredible.
​Summer Sizzler Opening: The main event didn't disappoint! We officially launched our summer sailing series with a epic sail-by, drenching our Commodore with a hilarious barrage of water guns and balloons. We wrapped up the day at the clubhouse, raising a toast to an unforgettable season ahead.
