About Our Sailing Club
The Homer Yacht Club is a nonprofit organization founded in 1983, to further education in the art of sailing and in boating safety.
Activities are suited to either individual or family participation. Although owning a sailboat is not required for membership, the
Homer Yacht Club is designed for sailboaters and those whose primary boating interest is sailing.
Stunning Kachemak Bay
The Homer Yacht Club sails primarily on beautiful Kachemak Bay, on the west side of southcentral Alaska's spectacular Kenai Peninsula. Approximately twenty miles long, Kachemak Bay encompasses several islands, bays and coves flanked by towering mountains with 7 glaciers and direct access to Cook Inlet. Marine wildlife is vastly abundant with seals, sea lions, sea otters, porpoise, whales and numerous species of pelagic birds... and perhaps a black bear sighting.
Become A Member
Becoming a member of the Homer Yacht Club is a great way to meet people who share your love of boating. You’ll enjoy sailing and social activities that enrich your life with sailors who have a breadth of experience sailing all over the world. Sailors who don’t may join to socialize with owners for the camaraderie and opportunities to crew while getting on the water. Homer Yacht Club organizes races during the summer and overnight trips across the bay.
