The Point Yacht Club is Durban's premier water sports club.

ABOUT PYC

Over 130 years of
Sailing Heritage

The Point Yacht Club was established on 14 May 1892 by a group of yachtsmen, retired seamen, harbour officials and maritime professionals who wanted a club close to the waters edge.

Today, PYC is a multifaceted water sports club with two venues: the Bay Site Clubhouse at the Yacht Mole off Margaret Mngadi Avenue, and the Beach Club at Vetch’s Beach. Which is home to South Africa’s largest Hobie Cat Fleet.
