Ham Radio Club Meeting Tomorrow!
Did you know that "HAM" was derived from the call sign of three amature radio enthusiasts of the Harvard Radio Club? Albert Hyman, Bob Almy, and Poogie Murray originally called their station "HYMAN-ALMY-MURRAY" but later changed it to "HY-AL-MY" and finally to "HAM" after some confusion with a Mexican ship named "HYALMO".
Looking for a camp for your kids to attend this summer? Tired of sending them to the same boring camps year after year? Check out our summer camp! Our licensed instructors will teach them how to rig, sail, and race their own small boat in a safe and fun environment.
The first Ventura Yacht Club Creative Arts Day was a big success. Who knew we had so many talented members?!?
Founded in 1938, the Ventura Yacht club was instrumental in the building of the Ventura Harbor. Today, we operate a 91 slip marina and offer our membership the lowest slip rates in the Ventura and Channel Islands harbors. We currently have two empty slips ready and waiting for new members, a 30` and a 36`.

The backside of Anacapa Island. How lucky are we to have the Channel Islands in our backyard and weather that allows us to visit them year round?

Strong Santa Ana winds out today! One of the most important lessons to learn as a Southern California sailor is to respect the "devil winds." Days like this are best spent in the club with good food, cold beers, and great friends! If you are going out today, stay safe and reef early.
Memberships are currently available, link in bio.

Ventura Yacht Club’s annual cruise to Emerald Bay and Corsair Yacht Club at Catalina Island was a complete success! Hat Tip to Joel Bozarth for organizing 24 boats gathered for swimming, sunning, snorkeling, hiking, frivolous reading, napping, and barbecuing on the beach with good friends. Thanks to Steve Dessert for these (swipe 🔁) wonderful photos.
Fall light on island anchorages just off the coast of Ventura. Aren’t we lucky to have this boating paradise in our neighborhood? Good wishes for splendid, safe, memorable island boating adventures. #boating #santacruzisland #anchorage #sailing #boatlife #islandtime #pacificocean #yachtclub #cruising #onthewater #ventura #prisonersharbor @venturayachtclub
Ventura Yacht Club members initiate Clean Up days on the water in Ventura Harbor, and on the beaches. ♻️ (pictured, left to right) VYC Vice Commodore Dave Boatner, Rear Commodore Garret Baum and Commodore Miguel Valdes cleaned trash from the water in the harbor this week. 🚮 Coastal breezes carry trash to the harbor, where it festers and affects sea life and marina water quality. Ventura Yacht Club members scoop trash from the water, and pick up wind-blown and left-behind trash with teams of volunteers walking 5 gallon buckets on the beach regularly every season. A 40 minute gesture of clean-up accumulates tons of removed waste pulled from Ventura Harbor and our beaches when we work collectively, and repeatedly. Camaraderie in a yacht club offers good community, and opportunity to participate in things that matter to us, with friends. 🤝 We enjoy common interests in boating, coastal living and helping to care for this beautiful place we call home. We’re happy to do our part. #ventura #venturaharbor #venturayachtclub #marinacleanup #cleanocean #cityofventura #funwork #volunteeringmatters #communityservice #mothernatured #ourtownourteam #coastalliving #boatlife #sailors #goodtogo #makeithappen #recycledplastic #watersports #yachtclub
A glimpse of the emerald green water and the clear, sandy bottom at a Catalina anchorage enjoyed by 28 boats from @venturayachtclub a few weeks ago. Cruising with friends, enjoying island time and appreciating the wonders of Mother Nature is good for what ails you. #boatlife #catalinaisland #emeraldbay #venturayachtclub #onthewater #oceanvideo #dinghyride #islandtime🌴 #sailing #boating #yachtclub #cruisingwithfriends
Ventura Yacht Club cruise to Emerald Bay and #corsaircove (thank you, @corsairyc 💗) on #catalinaisland was a slice of heaven. It was good to be outdoors, great to spent time with friends and family, in nature, on the water, on the island, on boats. #planforjoy #getoutsideandplay #gatheryourfriends #getonaboat #goswimming #islandtime #smores #sundowners #boatlife #yachtclub #pacificocean #fellowship #onthewater #boatfriends @venturayachtclub
