Hout Bay Yacht Club

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. The sailing fraternity is enthusiastic and also very friendly. 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!
