Boats and Mo's (Mimosas tehe)! My sister Fran and I dropped anchor right the the pool bar last Saturday. Let's just say those Mimosas had the both of us dragging anchor by the end of the day. Excellent staff service! The chicken was a little dry, but Fran and I were already full from all of the eye candy. I would recommend xoxo Jan

Really awesome spot on the pavilion. Sylvia suggested a raspberry margarita because I like sweeter drinks. It was probably the best margarita I have had in a very long time. She was really nice and wanted to actually have a conversation with me. She made our experience awesome.

Best salad bar in town! Everything you can imagine that should be on a salad bar is here, I loaded my plates with mixed greens, tuna salad, beets, hard boiled egg, garbanzo beans, cucumbers, and many varieties of seeds ( pumpkin, sunflower). Lots of dressings, breads and dried fruits as well. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. The service was excellent (Salem?). Service: 5 stars Food : 5 stars Ambience: 5 stars

Ducked in so my business partner, Marnie, could receive her Golden Mouse Award for Excellence in Social Media Marketing. Excellent service. Beautiful day. We were in the main ballroom for lunch. The food was delicious. The portions were fair. Dessert was awesome. The salad was better than expected. My only complaint, was my main course was cold. I ate it. This was my first time visiting the joint and I loved it. Sat right on the water. Cool lounge. Cabeza OUT!

Amazing Wait, what's more than Amazing? Over the last few years a select group of members recreated LYC. It's fantastic. Congratulations!

The exclusive LYC has been serving up great drinks, good food, and memorable times for decades. Located in the Rio Vista neighborhood just north of the 17th Street Causeway, I have been to the LYC on several occasions for lunch, company holiday parties, and friendly get togethers. The catering staff is AMAZING - they will accomodate the most discerning of guests and will go out of their way to ensure that your party is satisfied. I have tried the caprese salad (delicious!) as well as the filet with leeks & demi glaze, served with veggies and potato (also delicious!). The conch chowder is also very very good - try it with a splash of sherry to compliment the flavors of this soup. Overall everything is fresh and tastey, the grounds are well kept and the Club is nicely landscaped & a perfect setting for a casual afternoon on the water or an elegant evening event.

Lauderdale Yacht Club Sailing

Sailing Summer Camp 2024

The Lauderdale Yacht Club Summer Sailing Program is an exciting chance for new and current young sailors in the Fort Lauderdale community to spend some time on the water while learning about sailing, seamanship and the environment! The Lauderdale Yacht Club Mission Statement includes LYC taking an active role in teaching sailing and seamanship to the community and Summer Camp is that opportunity! Summer Sailing is open to children of both Members and Non-Members alike. Keep scrolling down for more information about the different courses!

SUMMER SAILING IS FOUR TWO WEEK SESSIONS. SAIL THEM ALL OR JUST ONE!

Here is some information that will come in handy for you! Pick up and drop off are at the gate in front of the Sailing Center. Please have your picture ID available for pickup.

FAQs It’s raining, storming, cold etc……is there still class? We will always put safety first at LYC. Staff routinely monitors radar for thunderstorms, and all coaches are qualified to run classes that maximize training value based on the conditions. However, if there is inclement weather not suitable for sailing, this summer sailors will need to be picked up when notified by the sailing program.

What should my child wear & pack each day? • Lunch and snacks in a water-resistant bag. Please no potato chips or nuts. When potato chips spill in the boats it makes the deck slippery. • Dress in comfortable clothes that can get wet. • Closed-toe shoes that can get wet are best. Please no flip-flops or sandals. • Pack a towel • Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, rash guard, etc.) • Coast Guard Type III approved life jacket • Refillable water bottle. • We recommend writing your child’s name on everything, as things tend to get left behind when kids are having fun. Having a bag or backpack to hold everything in is a must!

What food is provided each day? LYC will have a daily buffet lunch for sailors including vegetarian options.

Where do I get sailing clothes? In Fort Lauderdale we are fortunate enough to have one of the largest West Marine stores in the country nearby. They carry all of the gear you will need.

Are classes pro-rated if I have to miss part of a session? No. Every year we have to turn many sailors away and put others on waiting lists because we operate on a first come, first serve basis. Under these circumstances we cannot justify prorating.

Can I make changes or cancel? All requests for cancellations or changes must be made to the sailing office via email to [email protected]. Cancellations made 7 days or more before the start date of the session will be refunded in full. After that, there are no refunds; however, we will offer a credit towards a future session (space permitting). There is no pro-rate for partial attendance.

Who are your coaches?

LYC coaches are at minimum US Sailing Level 1 as well as First Aid and CPR certified. For more details about US Sailing certification please refer to the Training section at ussailing.org. Several coaches also hold higher US Sailing certification, and additional relevant certifications.

What about supervision before and after class? Please be on time dropping off in the morning and be prompt picking up at the end of the session or when notified due to inclement weather. Contact Liz Turner at LYC Kid’s Club for supervision outside of our normal class times [email protected].

Can I stay and watch my child sail? Parents are welcome to watch from a distance on our northeast floating dock. Our experience has shown that most young sailors learn best without the distraction of a parent. All of our coaches are trained to run safe and fun classes and appreciate being able to do so without parental input during class. Please ask the Sailing Director if you have any questions.

I lost my… Did you find it? We have a lost and found dock box next to the Sailing Office. Please make sure to label everything very clearly with your name and phone number. With more than 500 junior sailors participating in our program annually, we have a very full lost and found by the end of each season. Unclaimed items are donated to charity at the end of each season.

Is there swimming? There will be a swim test the first day of camp and weather permitting campers go for a lunchtime swim to cool off!

What is the Youth Sailing Guest program? The Youth Sailing Guest program provides an opportunity for non-member children to participate in the youth sailing activities of the Lauderdale Yacht Club. The Youth Sailing Guest is for children enrolled in high school or younger who must be introduced to the program by a Member in good standing and approved by the Sailing Director. A completed registration form, waiver or liability signed by the Youth Sailing Guest and his or her parents if a minor, a signed code of conduct are required before beginning participation. The Youth Sailing Guest and their family will agree to follow the Club’s House Rules and the guidelines of the program.

How do I become a regular member? Please contact LYC Membership and Communications at (954)527-2211 or email Membership Director, Shivani Patel, at [email protected]

We’re looking forward to teaching your child the life lessons of sailing and seamanship! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
