Our Heritage...

 

SFYC meets at Crown Colony Country Club in Fort Myers, Florida.


Southwest Florida Yacht Club was founded on January 5, 2012 as a social club for boaters who enjoy cruising in Southwest Florida. 
The club promotes the enjoyment, knowledge, and safety of boating through organized cruises and social functions, year round. Boating activities range from monthly lunch cruises, to waterfront restaurants, to extended cruises throughout Florida.
