I went to the lovely Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club for a fundraiser and was blown away by the stunning scenery. With a panoramic view onto Freshwater, Mosman Bays and The Swan River and its gorgeous residing boats and yachts this is the ideal place to host a function or a party. With a large lawn area ideal to entertain guests for socialising, aperitifs and hors d'oeuvres as well as a wooden deck with an amazing view and a fully functional grand ball room, Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club will truly make your event regal.

Business Description

Here at Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, we are proud of our yachting heritage and the success of our sailors at Club, State, National and International level. We are equally as proud of the hundreds of young sailors who pass through our training programmes each year and of the sailors who take part in a regatta for the first time.

We’re also proud of our work with school and the community, making sailing and boating experiences available to those who would otherwise find the participation hurdle just too high.

Members of this Club come from all walks of life, united by a passion for being afloat and enjoying friendships that, in many cases, endure for a lifetime. So whether you have ambitions to be a Club sailor or a world beater, you won’t find a better club than Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club to call home.

RFBYC Sees Membership Growth as People Stay Close to Home

royal freshwater bay yacht club reviews

In 2021, Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club (RFBYC) experienced a rise in female participation from younger age groups; a shift from the influx of “Over 30s” in the previous year. This rise is reflective of the quality of the Club’s programmes aimed at female sailing introduction, tuition and participation at all levels. The Dinghy and Training Centre and its Sailing Pathways Program played a significant role in making sailing more accessible and credit must go to the Club’s coaches, trainers and instructors for their hard work.

Male membership numbers rose substantially in the Under 16, 21–24, 31 to 36+ and Associate groups. A moderate reduction was experienced in the 16–17 and 18–20 groups. Numbers were static in the 25–27, 28–30, Country, Reciprocal and Special groups.

Female membership numbers rose substantially in the Under 16, 21–24, 36+, and Associate groups. Growth was static in the 25–27, 28–30, 31–35, Country, Reciprocal and Special groups.

The Club held eight New Member Nights in 2020-21 including a Youth “Transition to Ordinary Membership” night, celebrated in the Members’ Bar where 23 youth members celebrated their shift into adult membership.

The Club’s membership numbers over the last five years by Category can be compared in this table:

The Club has worked diligently on strategic planning for Membership and recognised the importance of increasing member numbers. The strategic planning included a review of membership of the 15 membership categories and found that they remained relevant.

Focus in 2022 and beyond will be on developing other forms of membership that may fill perceived gaps and create new opportunities.
