Welcome to the

International Council of Yacht Clubs

The ICOYC website provides a window into the world of the leading yacht clubs, with their long histories and fine traditions. A significant number of these clubs joined together during the last six years to form the International Council in order to share their experience, and learn from the successes they have achieved and challenges they have faced.

Here you will find information, news and views about the ICOYC, plans for events and comments on developments. You will also find copies of the printed newsletters, published for all the members of the clubs in the Council.

Good sailing!
