The members of the Santa Cruz Yacht Club express our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the crew members of the yacht Low Speed Chase, lost on April 14th during the Crewed Farallones Race. We also extend our sympathies to the San Francisco Yacht Club as it deals with this terrible tragedy.

Santa Cruz Yacht Club

Welcome to the Santa Cruz Yacht Club. SCYC is located in the Northern region of the Monterey Bay. We take pride in our membership’s participation and support of local, regional and worldwide regattas. SCYC enjoys creating a relaxed social environment which promotes fun for the entire yachting community. Cruise-ins are always welcome from other reciprocal yacht clubs.

The Santa Cruz Yacht Club has a great reputation for hosting world class regattas as well as national and local fun regattas. SCYC hosts the annual Day on the Bay Regatta which benefits Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Santa Cruz. In addition the yacht club puts on the Lighted Boat Parade, in December, and is very involved in the community. Our club also has a growing fleet of great Junior and Corinthian sailors. We have a long cruising history outside the Monterey Bay, including the Delta, San Francisco Bay as well as worldwide.

Details for applying for membership are listed on this web site and we encourage boaters to join. If you are in the area please feel free to visit our terrific clubhouse. Once here, our dedicated staff and members will make you feel at home.
