Welcome Aboard!

With over 150 years of sailing history, The Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron prides itself as one of South Australia’s premier Yacht Clubs. Our range of affordable memberships have been designed to suit all lifestyles from full boat ownership & family needs through to active crewing, regional and social options.


The diverse nature of the Squadron is enshrined by the many ways that families, some third and fourth generations celebrate in the passion of sailing and life-long friendships. Sailing is truly a sport that can be done across the generations and enjoyed by the youngest of tackers, through to the wisest of old salts.


Whether you’re a keen young junior, an experienced sailor, or a lover of great food, there is something for everyone at the Squadron.
