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 at 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 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, earning a reputation of being one of the friendliest clubs on the Swan River.
