Located in Fairhope, Alabama, Fairhope Yacht Club(FYC) has been a Mobile Bay institution since 1942. We are located on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay, and welcome sailors of all ages, both racers and cruisers. FYC offers spirited racing, plus a wide variety of social and family events. Members quickly rallied and renovated the boat barn is serve as our temporary club house.

It is a beautiful, grand facility. Throughout the rebuilding process our spirit for the love of sailing was never diminished and our members continued to enjoy racing and social events on the FYC grounds. We continue to be a vibrant and growing organization with a broad based and diverse group of individuals with a common goal: to advance the sport of sailing.
Services
During the late 1930's, various property owners, along with their friends, met regularly on the banks of Bayou Volanta, as it was known, to enjoy the cool waters. There was swimming, fishing, visiting, picnicking and above all boating of all types. Under the leadership of Otto Wadewitz these families decided to formalize their association.
Fairhope Yacht Club's facilities consist of a main club house with a large dining room, ballroom and bar. FYC's harbor includes wet 134 slips, ranging in size from 19' to 40'. Additionally, there is dry storage to accommodate 37 trailered boats, and loft storage spaces to accommodate sun fish, kayaks, optimist prams and canoes.
Please note the Score Sheet has been re-arranged a little and the "Sport Boats" are at the end if they would like to do some "One Design" racing along with our Series. Let me know if there are any errors. I've tried to update the Crew Lists and am providing copies as I really don't like to hear that people don't come out because they can't get crew, when there are lots of people who would like to crew.
Fairhope Yacht Club has active racing fleets of PHRF, Portsmouth, Catalina 22, Rhodes 19, Flying Scot, Laser Radial, Optimist Prams, Sun Fish and 420s. Members of FYC have available to them the use of several club boats once they are "certified" to use them. Members need not first know how to sail to become "certified".
Fairhope Yacht Club enjoys some of the greatest cruising grounds along the Gulf of Mexico. Mobile Bay has numerous opportunities for day-sails and overnight anchorages within a few hours of home. To the west are the barrier islands of Mississippi Sound, Lake Pontchartrain and New Orleans. To the east are Pensacola, Santa Rosa Sound and the Florida Panhandle.

Always love visiting the yacht club with my in-laws. It is overlooking the bay. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. They mix up their menu often enough to keep it fresh. Don’t forget to stop by the bar and order a bushwacker.

We had our wedding here and though they've had some recent turn over Jodi and Matthew made our wedding day awesome. I really recommend the ballroom with the draping -- it came out beautifully and was perfect for 50-75 person wedding. Plus it was much less expensive then anywhere else!

I love FYC. Great place for dinner with friends. Nice staff and wonderful service. I love the harbor and the sounds of the sailboats in the wind. The pool is top notched. The porch and the rocking chairs to watch the sunset is nice way to relax.

We just walked around their property. Beautiful place on Fairhope Bay. My friend is a member. The sculpture is from a Live Oak that was killed by the hurricane Catrina in 2005. Artist Marlin Day made the beautiful carving.

My Son and his bride had their wedding reception here. We could not have chosen a better venue for such an intimate and special occasion.
The food was superb, service impeccable, and what a great landscape for wedding photos.
