Chula Vista Yacht Club

Chula Vista Yacht Club began in 1889 when the San Diego Land and Town Co. provided new settlers of Chula Vista, most of them farmers, with a waterfront park to use for social gatherings. The members of the original Club built "Chula Vista One Designs", the largest one-design boat fleet on the Pacific Coast. Heavy rainstorms in the late 1920’s carried so much debris and drift into San Diego South Bay that sailing became impossible.

Rechartered in 1987 Chula Vista Yacht Club provides something for everyone. Activities include racing, cruising, raft-ups, dinghy parades, poker rallies, fishing tournaments, sailing, kayaking, and educational programs for all ages. Considered the "friendliest yacht club on the bay", CVYC has many social events for you to enjoy and camaraderie with like-minded friends. We have charity events, dances, parties, dart competitions, karaoke, seminars, amateur shows, movies to name a few.

Our galley and Catalina room is open to club members, their guests and visiting club members for Friday night dinners and lounge. Our loft houses our bar, dart boards, wide screen TV ... especially popular is our "Divas & Dudes Wednesday" and Saturday night activities.
