Welcome to the INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF YACHT CLUBS

The ICOYC was formed in 2006 and the members now include many of the world’s leading yacht clubs. We work together, sharing our experience, for the benefit of all our individual club members.

The annual Commodores’ Forum, open to the flag officers and general managers of Council clubs, is a highlight of our calendar, but we are involved in many more inter-club activities, as this website shows. Any of the officers will be happy to talk in more detail about the Council, so get in touch if you would like additional information.

Contact the ICOYC by email.

The Cruise in the Bay of Islands is proving very popular.  The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron has developed an exciting plan with much to see and enjoy.  Copies of the programme and possible destinations are on the website – click here.

There are now over seventy people coming during the Cruise from eight separate ICOYC clubs.  The Royal Thames, Royal Southern and Royal Vancouver clubs are sending the largest contingents and each will have three boats on the cruise.  At the moment there are twelve yachts taking part and also the tall-ship ‘Soren Larsen’ which can take up to 24 passengers – there are still a few spaces left.

The ‘Soren Larsen’ will be a focal point of the Cruise.  Yachts can muster nearby and join the ship for evening drinks, and the final Cruise dinner will be held on board.

We can still fit you in if you want to come – either with another boat, or on the ‘Soren Larsen’ – but you will have to be quick.  Let Craig Peploe know at the RNZYS.
