Manila Yacht Club

Posted in Manila on October 13, 2010

Conceived as one of the oldest yacht clubs in Asia, the Manila Yacht Club (MYC) is one of the few organized yacht clubs found in the Philippines . It is based in Manila , exclusively for members and they are situated in Manila Bay where sunset is a perfect view during fine weather conditions.

Because the Philippines’ has 7,107 islands, yachting in this archipelago may be one of the main reasons the Manila Yacht Club was set-up. The club coordinates many international and regional competitions and assists in other related events. The Manila Yacht Club members often join in yacht racing events both in and out of the country. This includes the China Sea Race which was started by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club in 1962, the King’s Cup of Thailand and Rajah Muda of Singapore among many other regattas. The Manila Yacht Club also joined the Presidents Cup Regatta which is known as a major event in the whole Philippines, held after Easter. This eagerly anticipated event began in 1993 as the Philippine Easter Regatta and came to be known as it is today when former President Fidel V. Ramos requested the Manila Yacht Club to hold an international regatta during APEC Summit held in the country in 1997. From then on, the event was renamed as the President’s Cup Regatta. The next Presidents Cup will be held in Boracay .

The Manila Yacht Club is the Philippines’ prime yacht club which owes its strong reputation to its rich historic past, exciting present and promising future. On January 20, 1927, five yachtsmen gathered at the Polo Club which was then situated beside Manila Bay and signed their names on the By-laws (made since 1926) of the Manila Yacht Club. James C. Rockwell, Joseph A. Thomas, Aubrey P. Ames, Stewart A. Tait, and A. S. Heyward affixed their signatures on the document, making them as the first few members of the club.

Office of the Philippine Navy Patrol near Manila Yacht Club

In about 1933 to 1934, the Philippine Navy Patrol moved its office from Canacao Bay in Cavite to Manila Bay which was then solely occupied by the Manila Yacht Club and caused minor conflict between the two entities. The Philippine Navy Patrol occupied the area near the club and moved the latter’s clubhouse in a nearby location. On December 28, 1941 before the Japanese Marine Detachment, the Manila Yacht Club suffered on what would have been its “last day”. In 1945, with the liberation of Manila, the Manila Yacht Club started to reconstruct its clubhouse and other facilities. On April 1, 1947, the Manila Yacht Club officially re-opened using the Quonset hut as a Clubhouse.

This has made my day. I wish all postings were this good.

Hey, good to find someone who areges with me. GMTA.

Hi Peter, I suggest you locate the websites of and contact MYC, SBYC (Subic Bay Yacht Club) and PGYC (Puerto Galera Yacht Club – talk to Peter Stevens) to get more info. Take a look at the locations on Google Earth also. Are you planning to park your yacht in Manila Bay waters or are you expecting to move around a lot on weekends or do you expect lots of active sailing/cruising regattas in a year? There are other yacht clubs in Cebu, etc. Best to come visit the YCs and chat with members to see if the place/company suits your needs. MYC does have good maintenance facilities, is located in MLA, has great food, etc but other places have cleaner water or are based in lovely white sand edged islands. Good luck! – Cherrie @pinoyboats

8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In

FoodfindsAsia.com | 8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In | Filipinos’ history as a maritime people date back to prehistoric times. In fact, the Philippines’ basic sociopolitical unit today, the barangay, traces its etymological origins to the balangay , the ancient outrigger boats that were used by precolonial Filipino communities to explore and conquer islands this side of the Pacific. As a people belonging to a seafaring culture, it’s no wonder that modern Filipinos are taking a retrospective look at their glorious past as Austronesian mariners and are developing a renewed love for the ocean and marinas as present-day yachtsmen.

Today, Philippine marinas look to accommodate more and more yachts and other pleasure watercrafts as the years go by. In 2017, an ASEAN Briefing op-ed piece named the Philippines as a country with high potential in yacht industry growth. The natural beauty of the Philippine islands and its fantastic bays, combined with a growing interest in leisurely sea travel, can explain the spike in yachting activities throughout the country.

Are you part of the demographic that’s become enamored of the yachting lifestyle? Do you want to know where in the country you can berth your watercraft? Leading sailboat and motorboat authority Europa Yachts is happy to enter the conversation, and recommends the following locations for discovering the Philippines through yachting. Here is a short list of clubs and marinas in the country, organized by island region.  

Manila Yacht Club and Marina, Manila, Metro Manila

Established in 1927, the Manila Yacht Club and Marina is one of the oldest yacht clubs in all of Asia, and is nestled in the scenic Manila Bay. It is also near other well-known landmarks in the city, such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the headquarters of the Philippine Navy, and the US Embassy. Facilities in the marina include a launching ramp and a fueling center, and the club itself is host to a restaurant and gorgeous function rooms. The Manila Yacht Club only welcomes visitors who arrive by boat, and it charges an initial security deposit of USD 750 upon arrival. Club membership is mandatory for medium and long-term mooring of boats.

Subic Bay Yacht Club, Zambales

The Subic Bay Yacht Club, which was founded in 1998, upholds itself as the country’s premier yacht club. It operates in the deepest bay in the country, and can host vessels well beyond 50 meters in length. Already benefitting from the innate beauty of the Zambales mountains surrounding it, the club hosts a number of other attractions, including its luxury accommodations, swimming pools, and its own movie theater, bowling alley, and nightclub. Those who venture outside of the club’s premises can also shop for well-priced imported goods at the Subic Freeport Zone, engage in water sports , or sign up for diving excursions.

Punta Fuego Yacht Club, Batangas

Peaceful Punta Fuego is a mecca for those who love the sport of sailing. As per its official website, the Punta Fuego Yacht Club aims to serve “a dynamic and vibrant community of boat enthusiasts and yacht owners.” This it does by playing host to a diverse population of watercrafts, from large catamarans and mono-hull yachts to small boats. Non-members of the club may use the berths for up to 3 weeks, and can refuel at the marina’s fueling station. The yacht club offers other amenities such as locker rooms, shower rooms, Internet facilities, a chart room, and a restaurant called Barracuda Bar, which serves delicious fares. Outside of the yachting crowd, Punta Fuego Yacht Club also caters to those wishing to celebrate weddings, conferences, and corporate events in their opulent quarters.

Puerto Galera Yacht Club, Oriental Mindoro

Further south, yachtsmen may moor at the Puerto Galera Yacht Club in Oriental Mindoro, an island location that’s home to tourist attractions like the Sabang Wreck dive site, lively beachfront resorts, and the Malasimbo Music Festival. Puerto Galera Yacht Club has been in operation for almost thirty years and lends services such as refueling provisions and yacht repairs from its marina. Boat owners also enjoy optimal convenience if mooring here, as they can also shop for spare parts in the nearby Batangas port.

Busuanga Yacht Club, Puerta del Sol Bay Marina, Palawan

Beautiful Palawan is a bucket-list destination for many, especially those who dream of cruising its crystalline waters. Accommodating the yachting community in this island province is the Busuanga Yacht Club, which promises secure mooring amidst breathtaking white-sand beaches. Here, each vessel will benefit from a typhoon-safe harbor, easy refueling, and direct access to transportation hubs like the New Busuanga Airport. Adjoining this marina is the Puerta del Sol Bay Resort, which offers luxurious accommodations to visitors. When not atop the deck of a boat, travelers can also explore the lagoons and freshwater lakes of Coron, go shipwreck diving, or relax in the hot springs of Maquinit.

Iloilo Sailing Club, Arevelo, Iloilo City, Iloilo

Iloilo Province is home to some of the country’s most beautiful old-world architecture, a flourishing ecotourism industry, and delectably fresh seafood cuisine. What will round off an unforgettable visit to Iloilo, however, is an excursion to the Iloilo Sailing Club on a leisure watercraft. The club accepts visitors and encourages membership in the case of medium and long-stay mooring. It also hosts a number of amenities and activities, including a dinghy storage, a beach bar and restaurant, and classes for those who want to learn about sailing. In recent months, the Iloilo Sailing Club has also been a convenient meet-up point for big maritime events, such as the Iloilo-Guimaras Paraw Regatta and the Seafarers’ Job Fair.

Cebu Yacht Club, Mactan Island, Cebu

The historic Mactan Island in Cebu was the site of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan’s arrival in the Philippines. Now known as a commercial hub that hosts a prolific furniture and musical instruments industries, Mactan is also the location of the Cebu Yacht Club, an institution that is beloved by the locals. Aside from being an ideal spot to restock on much-needed fuel and supplies, the Cebu Yacht Club is also a trusted club to commission for boat repairs. There’s a good vibe in this club for everybody, as it sports both luxury accommodations and a waterfront strip of restaurants that laid-back diners can frequent. MINDANAO

Holiday Oceanview Marina, Samal Island, Davao del Norte

The Holiday Oceanview Marina is a major attraction of Samal Island in Davao del Norte Province, one that welcomes Filipino and foreign yachtsmen alike to moor within its premises. The space is quite roomy, in fact, with 56 berths that can fit vessels up to 15 meters in length. The club also has a boat ramp that can accommodate boats up to 18 meters in length. The well-guarded and weather-safe marina is a gateway to some of Mindanao’s finest attractions, such as the Pearl Farm, Hagimit Falls, and Giant Clam Sanctuary.  

There’s no better way to discover the Philippines from end to end than getting onboard a seaworthy vessel and going on a long cruise, with stops in some of the most beautiful places in the country. Find a safe harbor in any of these major clubs and marinas, and participate in the renaissance of sailing in the Philippines.

The Manila Yacht Club (MYC) is a member-only yacht club based in Manila, Philippines, and located in Manila Bay. The club is one of the oldest yacht clubs in Asia.

The club is located in one of the major yachting hubs of Southeast Asia, the Philippines, consisting of over 7,100 Islands.

The club organizes numerous competitions internationally and regionally. It also co-organizes events. Its members frequently join major international as well as Philippine yacht racing events. This list includes the China Sea Race, begun by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club in 1962. The other Asian regattas that MYC sailors join include the King's Cup of Thailand and Rajah Muda of Singapore.

The MYC also participates in annual "Presidents Cup Regatta", a major Philippine sailing event that spans the entire country. The Current Presidents Cup will be held in Boracay.

Through the efforts and the passion of sailing, five devoted yachtsmen, James C. Rockwell, Joseph A. Thomas, Aubrey P. Ames, Stewart E. Tait, A.S. Heyward, the first by-laws of the Club were signed on January 20, 1927. The Club was established to encourage and develop boating throughout the country, The club also strived to teach fair play, and to teach people about yachting, camaraderie and good sportsmanship.

With a rich history of over 75 years, there is no doubt that the Club also went through a lot of rough sailing in the past. The pleasure of sailing was stopped in December 1941 when World War II began. The Americans confiscated the boats docked at the MYC basin for fear that the Japanese soldiers might use them to launch an attack on Corregidor. The boats were sunk and others were set on fire. Sailing then came to a complete halt from 1941-1945 when the United States and the Philippine Commonwealth troops arrived to liberate Manila. The US Army occupied the Club and in March 1947, MYC was able to secure the property where it stands today. Women also started to become members of the Club during that time.

The Club began to join some international sailing competitions in the 1960s. The Philippines was the first Asian country to participate in the Olympics yachting events. Also during that time, eighty percent of club membership was composed of Americans and other expatriates.

In the 1970s, expat membership declined and they began to leave the country due to the dictatorship of the Martial Law years. Membership picked up again during the mid-1980s until the early 1990s. But sailing went down in 1995 because of the Asian Economic Crisis.

Since the Philippines is considered to be prone to typhoons and devastating storms, the boat owners had problems in maintenance and safety of their yachts. The solution came about in 1998 when the height of the seawall was increased to protect the boats anchored in the basin of the Manila Yacht Club. The following year, another major project materialized with the launching of the floating berths which serves as a place of protection for the boats in the basin. From then on, maintenance and accessibility became easier.

In 1998, the Club became a proprietary corporation when members became shareholders. Member can sell their shares or pass it on to their heirs.

The Manila Yacht Club is also affiliated with the Philippine Sailing Association and aims to race competitively in local and international sailing events.

The popularity of yachting rose exponentially during this time as international sailing competitions were held between countries around Asia. These events brought together many different ethnicities and nationalities and helped foster a sense of unity among all who participated.

Yachting is still an important part of Filipino culture today, with many yacht clubs offering membership opportunities to locals and foreign nationals. The sport has become integral to Filipino life, providing an escape from everyday life and allowing people to come together to celebrate their love for adventure on the open sea.

With its rich maritime history, the Philippines is home to some of the best yacht clubs in the world. From Manila to Palawan, there are plenty of places for sailing enthusiasts to explore and enjoy. In this section, we’ll look at some prime locations for yachting in the Philippines.

The Royal Philippine Yacht Club (RPYC) is one of the country’s oldest and most renowned yacht clubs. It’s in Manila Bay, just minutes from Makati and Quezon City. The club offers members a great view of the city skyline while providing various services such as mooring assistance, race organizers, and boat repair facilities. The RPYC also hosts several regattas throughout the year, including its well-known annual Star Regatta, held every December.

One of the newest additions to Philippine yacht clubs is located further south in Palawan: The Puerto Princesa Yacht Club (PPYC). This club boasts a large marina with state-of-the-art amenities such as a fully stocked bar and restaurant, fuel supplies, showers, and laundry facilities. Members can access an extensive library and various water sports activities, including sailing and fishing trips.

Membership Requirements For Philippine Yacht Clubs

The requirements to become a member of a yacht club in the Philippines vary depending on the club. Generally, all yacht clubs require prospective members to complete an application form and pay an initiation fee. Some clubs also require that applicants have a minimum amount of sailing experience or qualifications before being accepted as members.

An important part of the membership process is submitting evidence of financial responsibility. This usually means having insurance coverage for boats and crew and liability coverage for any potential accidents or damages that may occur during a sailing trip. It’s also important to note that most yacht clubs will not accept anyone under 18 as members, so if you’re looking to join with your family, you’ll need to wait until everyone is at least 18 years old.

Membership fees are typically paid annually, although some clubs offer discounts if multiple people join together or if they sign up for long-term membership plans. Additionally, many yacht clubs offer discounts on services such as boat storage, fuel, and repairs as part of their membership packages.

Philippine yacht clubs host various events, from casual social gatherings to more formal competitions. These activities allow members to test and demonstrate their sailing skills while fostering camaraderie among the club’s members. Some of the most common events hosted by Philippine yacht clubs include regattas, cruising trips, and on-shore socials.

Regattas are competitive sailing races that pit multiple boats against each other in a race around designated buoys or markers. Some races include monohull and multihull classes and may feature separate divisions for amateur and professional sailors. Regattas often occur over multiple days or weeks, with sailors competing for bragging rights, cash prizes, or trophies.

Cruising trips are less formal open-water outings involving sailing around nearby islands or coastal areas. These trips usually involve overnight stays at different ports, allowing sailors to explore different parts of the Philippines while testing their navigational abilities. Cruising trips are also great opportunities for sailors to bond with one another and share stories about past adventures on the open sea.

On-shore socials typically occur at a local restaurant or bar near the yacht club’s marina, allowing members to mingle with friends after a long day on the water. These events often feature live music performances by local bands and traditional Filipino cuisine prepared by nearby restaurants or caterers. On-shore socials provide a great way for club members to relax after a hard day of sailing while also strengthening relationships between them.

When exploring the best yacht clubs in the Philippines, one of the first questions that come to mind is: what is the membership cost? Yacht clubs often require payment for access to their facilities and services, so potential members must know what they can expect . This article will explore the costs of joining a Philippine yacht club.

When considering a yacht club membership, several factors must be considered. Firstly, potential members should consider the type of membership they are looking for. Some clubs offer individual or family plans, while others have corporate or group packages available. It’s important to understand what type of membership you need before deciding on a particular club. Furthermore, some yacht clubs may have certain requirements, such as age or experience in sailing or boats, that must be met before joining.

The cost of a Philippine yacht club membership will depend largely on the type and duration of the plan chosen. Generally speaking, most clubs charge an initiation fee followed by monthly or annual dues, which cover access to facilities and services such as mooring fees and other amenities like restaurants and bars. Additionally, many clubs offer discounts for long-term memberships or newcomers who are experienced sailors.

Comparing different clubs’ offerings can help you find a great deal that fits your lifestyle and budget needs. Ultimately, choosing a Philippine yacht club should be an enjoyable process that leads you closer to fulfilling your sailing dreams!

What Type Of Insurance Is Required For A Boat At A Philippine Yacht Club?

When it comes to joining a yacht club in the Philippines, a few requirements must be met. One is obtaining insurance for any boat you plan on sailing at the club. Depending on the type of vessel and its intended use, different types of insurance may be required. This article will explore the types of insurance necessary to join a yacht club in the Philippines.

Liability coverage is the first type of insurance needed to join a yacht club in the Philippines. Liability coverage protects against bodily injuries or property damage caused by your boat while sailing at the yacht club. This includes any medical bills incurred should an accident occur and costs associated with damage to others’ property. Coverage should also include protection if legal action is taken against you due to the accident. Additionally, some clubs may require personal injury coverage for their members, which covers medical expenses and lost wages if you are injured while sailing at the club’s premises.

Another type of insurance needed for membership in a Philippine yacht club is hull coverage. Hull coverage protects your boat in an accident or natural disaster like a typhoon or earthquake. Depending on your policy’s specifics, it can cover repair costs, replacement parts, and even salvage costs. Some policies may even cover accidental damages caused by other vessels such as collisions with them while sailing at the yacht club’s premises.

It’s important to ensure that all yacht club members in the Philippines have adequate insurance before joining so they can enjoy their time out on the water without worrying about potential problems arising from insufficient protection. Doing so ensures everyone’s safety and peace of mind while sailing at these great clubs throughout this beautiful country!

What Are The Safety Regulations For Sailing In The Philippines?

Sailing in the Philippines can be a thrilling experience, but it’s important to know and understand the safety regulations. With so many islands and unique coastlines, there are plenty of opportunities for travelers to explore the open waters.

Those who want to engage in sailing activities should first familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations set by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG). The PCG is responsible for enforcing maritime safety and security laws, so they are an important resource for understanding what is expected of sailors.

The PCG requires that those operating a boat have a valid Maritime Safety Certificate, which outlines their qualifications as a mariner and permits them to operate their vessel safely. This certificate is only issued after one has passed both written and practical examinations. Other safety measures include having life jackets onboard for all passengers and filing a float plan before heading out on sailing trips. Sailors must also understand navigation rules, such as avoiding restricted areas or anchoring too close to shore.

At its core, sailing in the Philippines requires individuals to put safety first by being aware of the regulations set by the PCG and ensuring they have all necessary equipment onboard their boat before setting sail. With these precautions, travelers can explore some of the country’s most beautiful spots from a new perspective.

Are There Any Restrictions For Non-Members At Philippine Yacht Clubs?

Are there any restrictions for non-members at Philippine yacht clubs? This is an important question to consider if you plan to visit one of the many great yacht clubs in the Philippines. Generally speaking, non-members are allowed access to certain areas depending on the club’s policy. However, certain rules and regulations must be followed to ensure safety and security.

The most important thing for non-members to understand is that all guests must abide by the same safety regulations as members. This includes wearing appropriate attire, following all staff instructions, and respecting other members’ property. Additionally, some clubs may have specific policies regarding alcohol consumption or drug use. Inquiring about these rules before arriving at a particular yacht club is important.

Many yacht clubs also require non-members to sign a waiver before being allowed access to certain parts of their facilities. This waiver typically outlines the risks associated with sailing and other activities offered at the club and any additional safety measures that should be taken while on the premises. While this document may seem like a hassle, it is essential to keeping guests safe and secure while visiting a yacht club.

Lastly, it is worth mentioning that non-members may be required to pay a fee when accessing certain areas at a yacht club. This fee can vary depending on the services accessed or how long they plan to stay at the club. It’s always best practice to check with the front desk or management staff ahead of time to ensure you’re aware of all applicable fees before arriving at your destination.

Are There Any Age Restrictions For Sailing In The Philippines?

Knowing what age restrictions apply when sailing in the Philippines is important. Different yacht clubs vary in their regulations, and it’s important to be aware of any age limits that may be in place. Sailing is a popular activity in the Philippines , and knowing the rules can help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

The legal age limit for sailing varies depending on the boat used. Generally speaking, children aged 16 or older can operate sailboats with an engine power of less than 5kW without supervision from an adult. For boats with an engine power greater than 5kW, supervision from an adult is required for anyone under 18 years old.

Different rules may apply depending on the yacht club’s regulations when sailing on larger boats, such as those used for offshore cruising or chartering. It is best to check with individual clubs regarding their specific requirements before setting out on a voyage.

Age restrictions should also be considered when dealing with safety-related matters at sea. Safety equipment, such as life jackets, should be sized appropriately, and all crew members should receive proper safety instructions before departure. In addition, some yacht clubs may require at least one adult present while at sea, even if they are not part of the crew. Understanding these rules can help ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience while at sea.

In conclusion, joining a Philippine yacht club can be an excellent way to enjoy the beauty of the Philippines while sailing with friends and family. Whether you are experienced in sailing or just getting started, there are clubs to suit all levels. Before joining a yacht club, it is important to understand membership costs, what insurance is required for your boat, safety regulations for sailing in the Philippines, and any restrictions on non-members.

The Manila Baywalk Dolomite Beach is now open to the public daily — except Thursday — from 6AM until 6PM.  

To be clear: the beach is closed every Thursday — all day — for maintenance. 

Additionally, the Manila Baywalk is currently open to the public Monday-Friday, 6AM-8AM and 4PM-6PM.

ENTRY, FEES & REGISTRATION

The only entrance and exit to the Manila Baywalk Dolomite Beach is located near the US Embassy along Roxas Boulevard.

The beach is currently FREE.

No online pre-registration is required.

LOCATION & DIRECTIONS

The beach is located in Manila next to the US Embassy along Roxas Boulevard.

Please click Location for both directions and additional details.  

SWIMMING, LIFEGUARDS & WATER SPORTS

Although water quality continues to improve, at this time, swimming and water sports remain prohibited. 

The most recent ambient test results at the beach area averaged 1185  MPN/100 mL . A 100 MPN/100 mL test result is required for safe swimming.

Testing is done weekly by the EMB-NCR.

As the average test results in 2019 were 30,000,000+ MPN/100 mL, it is clear that the water cleanliness at the beach has and continues to dramatically and steadily improve . Please visit this page for additional information.

For enhanced safety, lifeguards will be strategically located along the shoreline of the beach once swimming is allowed. Please visit Lifeguards for additional information.

FOOD, DRINK & SMOKING POLICY

Food, drinks — except water (but not in plastic bottles) — and smoking are not allowed and are prohibited at/on the beach .

To be clear: water and non-plastic, water bottles are allowed in and on the beach.

Soda, juice, alcohol, et cetera, are not allowed . 

RESTAURANTS & DINING

There are multiple restaurants and dining establishments in the immediate area. 

Simply using the footbridge to cross Roxas Boulevard will offer most people enough options to satisfy simple/common tastes.

If a wider variety is desired, Robinson’s Place Manila — and multiple other dining destinations, in every direction — is only an approximate 10-minute walk from the beach. 

As defined by the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998, “foreshore land is a string of land margining a body of water; the part of a seashore …”

Accordingly, based on the Manila LGU’s Land and Foreshore Use Plan , the Manila Baywalk waters has been deemed a tourism and recreation zone; therefore, fishing is not allowed at the beach. 

Dogs and other pets ARE allowed on the beach — if each pet has both a diaper and a leash.

For the highest-level, guest experience, pets without a diaper and a leash will not be admitted to the beach. 

PHOTOSHOOTS

Photoshoots are allowed at the Manila Baywalk Dolomite Beach. 

Whether it is a pre- or post-nuptial, Sweet 16, professional/promotional, cosplay or other similar event, or if you are engaging in sunset and/or wildlife photography, if you are simply using a DSL camera — or similar equipment in size and scope — all photoshoots are allowed.

No advance permission and/or permit is required for photography activity that fits the above parameters. Additionally, there is no fee.

Please keep in mind that you should CONTACT us if you have a project that is larger in scope.

Finally, as drones are regulated by an authority outside of the beach — and combined with the beach’s close proximity to both the US Embassy and NAIA — they are not allowed.

Parking for buses is often available at the nearby Manila Grandstand; however, we suggest you verify this in advance.
