The Curaçao Yacht Club was founded in the year 1962. It was founded by a group of close friends who owned fishing boats. In 1966 the club celebrated its first fishing tournament and has done so on a yearly basis and the tournament is always held around the month of March.
The club was originally founded as a Fishing Yacht Club but has grown to be a social meeting place for the whole family. Even though fishing is the most active sport practiced at the club.
After 44 years of existence the club has grown in to a Yacht Club with over 600 members and accommodates over 50 yachts and over 50 smaller boats.
Visiting yachts are no problem. The club can accommodate yachts with a length of over 180 feet!
The Curacao Yacht Club (CYC) is the proud promoter of the "Annual International Blue Marlin Release Tournament" held in early March each year featuring three days of fishing in the blue waters of Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. |
