Sailing in Port Stephens

Port Stephens Yacht Club is home to a welcoming, competitive, and social sailing community.

Whether you’re new to sailing or a seasoned skipper, there’s a race or event for you. Our weekly calendar includes Saturday pointscore racing, Wednesday afternoon sprints, and our popular Friday Twilight Series—designed for relaxed racing, shared meals, and sundowners with fellow sailors.

Located right on the water in Soldiers Point, PSYC offers a friendly base for inshore and offshore sailing, training opportunities, and regular regattas. We welcome new crew, visiting yachts, and prospective members all year round.

If you’re looking to get out on the water, this is the place to start.

Boat Registration

Whether you’re racing, going offshore, or cruising the bay, registering your boat with Port Stephens Yacht Club is the first step to getting involved.

To participate in Club activities – including racing or social sailing – please ensure the following documents are completed and submitted:

  • A Boat Registration Form
  • A copy of your current Public Liability Insurance (minimum coverage as required)
  • For racing boats: a completed Equipment Audit Form in the appropriate racing category

All documents should be emailed to the Club Captain prior to your first event.

Once registered, your boat will be entered for all relevant race series — no need to nominate individual events. Please note: boats that have not submitted the required documentation will not be considered starters in any race until all paperwork is received.
