Thursday Night Racing begins this week!

Interested in Sailing? Join a Crew!
If you'd like to get out on the water, stop by the Membership Committee table—located next to the upstairs bar—on Thursday evening and let us know you're “crew looking for a boat.” Whether you’re an experienced sailor or brand new to the sport, all are welcome. We’ll do our best to match you with a boat and help you learn more about sailing as a guest of one of our skippers.

Please Note:
To enjoy the evening at the Club—including food, drinks, and the view—you must be sailing. Guests should be physically able to participate on a boat. Age is not a barrier, but mobility is important for your safety and enjoyment.

Helpful Details for First-Time Guests:

Please plan to arrive by 5:00 PM.
Park outside the front gate and walk into the Club grounds.
The main dining room is on the second floor of the Clubhouse.
Dress comfortably for sailing, and please wear white or non-marking soles. We also recommend leaving valuable jewelry at home.

What to Expect:
The length of the race depends on the wind, but most boats return by around 8:30 PM. We sail in light rain or mild weather, but safety always comes first. The Race Committee will decide by 6:00 PM whether racing is on or off for the evening.

Island 2 Island - Tampa to Venice BOTY Race - May 9 - 10, 2025

This race’s history dates back to 1946 and 2025 has us racing to Venice as Ft. Myers continues to recover from the hurricanes. DIYC is joined by Venice Yacht Club as organizing authority. This is a feeder race for the Bone Island Regatta starting on May 14. An approximately 49.8-mile coastal race, Tampa Bay to Venice will have the same character as prior years. All competitors departing from Tampa Bay compete for the Navigator’s Trophy donated by OH Rogers. It is awarded to the first boat to finish in any class.
