The Palm Beach Yacht Club is proud to have celebrated its 100th Anniversary in April, 2011! We are the oldest Private Club in the area, with our original founding occurring in 1890. Originally established for members & their guests "for camaraderie among boating enthusiasts and to promote racing on the Waterway", the early Members moved the Club to West Palm Beach where it was re-chartered in 1911.

Since the 1930's we have enjoyed this location on Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach. Today's Members enjoy fine dining with legendary service and a spectacular panoramic view of the Intracoastal Waterway. Club members are among the many hundreds of philanthropists who contribute much to our community. In like fashion, it is a privilege for the Yacht Club to make many contributions to local charities as well.

By opening the 'MENU' board (above) and touching on a topic, you may look through the pertinent pages devoted to acquainting you with our exceptional Club. You will also find information about joining our fine Membership. Members may select the 'MEMBERS AREA' to access photos of recent events, activities at the Club and Staff pictures as well as special announcements and activities that are reserved for Club Members only.
