Membership
Middle Harbour Yacht Club, the 'Friendly Club', is located on the shores of picturesque Middle Harbour and is the ideal location for launching any aquatic activity on beautiful Sydney Harbour, arguably the best harbour in the world.
Middle Harbour invites visitors to enjoy our splendid facilities. Enjoy the view of our beautiful sandy beach whilst casually dining, savouring our fabulous coffee whilst viewing the on-water fun. It is not uncommon to view wildlife in the marina - seals, dolphins, pelicans, fish and even whales!
Middle Harbour Yacht Club has an enviable range of facilities to enjoy from the state-of-the-art marina, keelboat sailing, dinghy sailing and youth sailing. The key to the club is our helpful staff, volunteers, and members who will guide guests from senior to junior experienced to novice into the appropriate on-water sailing activity.
Middle Harbour Yacht Club was selected as the home of the Australian Sailing Team and routinely hosts elite sailors for world standard regattas. The opportunity for a young sailor to meet their sailing heroes is an inspiration for many.
The club’s friendly nature is unique and treasured. We focus on all our members who enjoy functions, restaurants, comaraderie, sailing, cruising, family activities and much more. We welcome a visit from overseas or local, active or social, individuals or families - come and discover Sydney's hidden secret.
