A Brief History South of Perth Yacht Club was founded on 18th December 1945 and celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2020.

The club was originally located at Point Hampton, Como, on the foreshore near to present day Olives Reserve.

The club held its first race less than a month after its formation and within a year had erected its first clubhouse.

The original clubhouse building was an old army mess hut, which was dismantled, transported and skilfully converted by members into an exceptionally well laid out clubhouse complete with dance hall, boat and sail rooms and a motorboat room.

In 1960 the club was relocated to where it now resides at Coffee Point on the western shore of the Canning River in Applecross.

At the heart of its local community and blessed with exceptional facilities and a wonderful location to match, the club has come a long way in 75 short years.

Our sailors enjoy a wide diversity of yachting, both power and sail, with a very social cruising section for more relaxed occasions. Time trialling power yacht fleets are the largest on the river, and the fleet welcomes and accommodates the inexperienced and expert alike.

The next generation of sailing stars are being trained in our Sailing Academy, which offers an extensive range of training courses conducted by a fully qualified and talented team of instructors.

The Yacht Club caters for its members with an exclusive members’ dining and bar area.

The Club is the perfect venue for any occasion; from weddings to Christmas parties, seminars and school formals. The venue incorporates the outdoor lawns and the beautifully styled Promenade and Beachside marquees.

Sailing Program South of Perth Yacht Club is regarded as one of the premier yacht clubs in Western Australia and the Club’s racing program and activities reflect this standing.

The Club strongly encourages on-water participation of members as part of an active and successful Yacht Club. There are many ways for boat owners to participate in Club activities with club racing for dinghies and keelboats, time trialling for power boats and cruising for both sail and power. Radio controlled sailing is also conducted.

You may be completely new to sailing or a seasoned racer, young or not so young, male or female. No matter what your background and experience, South of Perth Yacht Club can offer you sailing that will suit your skill level and sailing ambitions.

Racing is conducted all year round on Wednesday afternoons, and Saturdays in the Summer and Sundays in the Winter for keelboats and Sundays for off the beach dinghies. Radio controlled sailing is conducted on Friday afternoons.

Twilight Sailing takes place every Wednesday throughout the Summer sailing season, with early evening Club racing against the backdrop of the sunset, members then come back to the Clubhouse to socialise over a meal and refreshments.

If you are not a boat owner but still want to be close to the action and excitement on the water, crew and volunteers are always welcome.
