Chula Vista Yacht Club….

The Chula Vista Yacht Club began in 1889 when the San Diego Land and Town Co. provided the 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 (see The Rainmaker) in the late 1920’s carried so much debris and drift into San Diego Bay that sailing became impossible. The Chula Vista Yacht Club faded into obscurity.

Rechartered in 1987 as a not-for-profit, public benefit corporation, 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 fellowship and fun in the company of friends. There are charity events, dances, parties, dart competitions, karaoke, seminars, amateur shows, movies and just camaraderie.

Our Galley and the Catalina rooms are open to club members and their guests and visiting club members for Friday night dinners and Sunday Breakfast . Our loft houses our bar, dart boards, wide screen TV and we have frequent activities (with food) throughout the week. Especially popular is our "Diva Tuesdays" and Saturday night activities.
