The Club
|
Claremont Yacht Club is a private yacht club, rich in history and a favourite spot to enjoy the Swan River.
The Club is ideally situated in the shelter of Freshwater Bay of the Swan River, Claremont Yacht Club is almost midway between Fremantle Harbour and Perth City. It is the ideal spot to cast off for a cruise or for fishing any time of the year. The Club complements the great lifestyle that Claremont offers: sports, shopping, galleries, schools, universities, restaurants and wonderful weather.Claremont Yacht Club has a deep commitment to the boating traditions. It was founded in 1905 by visionary yachtsmen who enjoyed the companionship of those who shared their enthusiasm for boating and their love of the sea. Since then, the Club has developed into a full service operation embracing all forms of boating activities within the community and earning a reputation of being one of the friendliest clubs on the Swan River.
The membership reflects the club's heritage and that of the local area, including business and professional people from all parts of WA; local families and social groups. The club is member controlled and each member has a voice in the use and care of the club's facilities and services. The current membership is diverse, spanning a wide range of age and professional experiences. The facilities are excellent and there are activities to suit everyone. Whether a member owns a boat or not, the Claremont Yacht Club offers the benefits of a private social club with extraordinary services and facilities. CYC offers a fully-licensed bar along with casual and formal dining with stunning views overlooking Freshwater Bay.
The Club has a crisp boating atmosphere, but neither boating nor dining are its sole focus. Its purpose remains as it was at its inception: to provide amusement, recreation, and entertainment for the club's members and friends. Some people join for the social events, parties and a score of other activities. Others join for the 'eating Club' and a beautiful place to entertain their friends or keep their boats. Still others particularly enjoy the formal events. But one universal goal sets our Club apart from any other: CYC is committed to welcoming newcomers and to preserving the warm and comfortable ambience that makes it truly a home away from home for all its members.The Officers, Committee members and Staff strive to make the club a fun place to be while upholding the traditional values associated with boating activities, coupled with gracious dining and positive social experiences. |
