Testimonials
I joined the club in January 2018 and I've never sailed before. I do not own a boat and usually sail out in one of the club's boats. I found that PYCL is a great place to learn sailing because there are several highly experienced members who are always willing to show me how to do things: from rigging to maneuvering the boat on the water.

Blaise, commodoreAfter many years of competitive sailing and many summers spent as a sailing instructor, I mainly sail to relax. At the Pelican Yacht Club, I can be on the water less than an hour after leaving my home. Although I usually sail my catamaran, I enjoy sailing one of the club's boats, and sharing my passion with friends, visitors, and new members.
Laura LarsenI learned how to sail in the NYC harbor, have been sailing for decades & have been a member of the PYC for many years. I love everything about this club -- the casual sailing, the races & regattas with other clubs in the Gulf Yachting Association, but most of all -- the camaraderie & fun sailing on the river with like-minded sailers out to catch a breeze & have a good time!
