WELCOME TO DAVIS ISLAND YACHT CLUB

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."

Thursday Night Racing - Races April 16 - October 8

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 5:15 PM.

  • Park outside the front gate and walk into the Club grounds - Parking inside the gate is limited and for members only.

  • 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.

For more information about sailing with us on Thursdays, please read the information available here on our website.
