Welcome to Pelican Yacht Club

Year-Long Sailing on Beautiful False River Since 1960

We welcome your interest in the Pelican Yacht Club that is now in its 63rd year. We are a small, friendly club that offers significant benefits at a modest cost. With facilities and sailboats at both Madisonville on the Tchefuncte River just 30 minutes upstream from Lake Pontchartrain and Jarreau on False River, varied sailing experiences are possible. Don’t know how to sail? No problem! As a member, we will teach you at no cost.
