The Davis Island Yacht Club is a private, member-owned yacht club situated at the south end of Davis Islands in Tampa, Florida. The club sponsors a heavy schedule of sailing races, an active cruising fleet and a strong youth sailing organization.
"The principal purpose of the Club shall be to promote sailing in all its forms, to form a social nucleus with activities for people primarily interested in sailing, to develop and maintain active relationships with other sailing organizations, to promote racing and cruising for pure enjoyment, to promote safety on the water-ways, and to foster a spirit of good fellowship and helpfulness."
Members, join us at the Club for live blues, Friday night dinner, and drinks. Let the music sweep you away as you savor the flavors of the evening. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience!
Scorers Training Sessions – September 13 OR 27. Our Club Education Director is spearheading an initiative to create an ongoing training program for scorers to support the Chief Scorer in compliance with the Club Bylaws. With this program, we hope to groom potential candidates to become the new Chief Scorer when the time comes. We invite anyone who is interested in becoming a scorer to participate in the training program and become involved in this role. Currently, we rely on a small group of volunteers to fill this critical position, and we cannot afford to continue this dependence. You only need to sign up for one of the Zoom or face-to-face training dates. Contact Kat Malone with any questions. Pre-work to be completed before the training can be found here. Sign up for one of the Zoom or face-to-face training sessions here.
New and old sailors alike gather on our beautiful Hillsborough Bay for a tradition unlike any other. Davis Islands' Thursday Night Series has been the biggest sailing series in the South. New sailors have learned the skills of the persons who were in their shoes years ago. Racing sailboats keeps us happy.
Interested in coming out to sail? Check the Thursday Night Racing page for more information. We race in mildly inclimate weather. We will not race in dangerous conditions. The Race Committee will make the decision to sail, or not to sail, no earlier than 6PM.
Skippers, please sign yourself and your crew up for RC duties here. Each skipper is expected to take one turn on RC.
