The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club is one of the oldest Royal Clubs in the world. Its beginnings were formed under a calabash tree by British military officers and Bermudian sailing enthusiasts. So began a story and a history of romantic proportions. The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club is a private Club and is the third oldest club holding a Royal Warrant outside the British Isles. The Bermuda Yacht Club was established on the 1st November, 1844 by a party of thirty gentlemen, consisting largely of officers in the British Army, most of them belonging to the 20th Regiment, then stationed here in Bermuda. There are now approximately 850 resident and non-resident members. Offers competitive racing, junior sailing, and social activities. Hamilton, Bermuda

Club offers sailing regattas, sailing lessons for adults and juniors, tennis courts, social events, bar & dining room, and more. We are a club dedicated to the advancement of sailing as a sport, and accordingly we participate in and sponsor a number of sailing regattas and related activities, with the biennial Marion-Bermuda race being perhaps the most famous. In addition, we provide year-round sailing instruction to junior and adult sailors and boast the largest junior sailing fleet in Bermuda. We are the host club of the Bermuda Fitted Dinghy Association and compete in the annual series of dinghy races from St. George’s to Somerset. Paget, Bermuda

The Sandys Boat Club is a cozy club at the west end of Bermuda and home of the Bermuda Fitted Dinghy, Challenger II. In 1934-35, there was a group of men who would regularly have races between themselves in Mangrove Bay. They thought that they had a good thing going and decided to form a club to bring others together for sailing, boating, and social events. On September 10, 1937, the Sandys Boat Club was formed by the founding families which included Jack, Pitman, Parker, Herkes, and Sheen, to name a few. Mangrove Bay, Somerset, Bermuda
