Membership
Membership at the Waikiki Yacht Club provides access to a family-oriented, leisure environment, situated at the water’s edge of the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor, with a spectacular view of the famous Waikiki skyline. Members of all ages enjoy the club’s superb amenities—clubhouse lounges, bar and dining facilities, modern docks and dry storage area, swimming pool and showers, boating and paddling programs, and a variety of social activities.
Waikiki Yacht Club membership is available in several classes, including regular, associate, junior, military, intermediate and non-resident. The Waikiki Yacht Club also shares reciprocity privileges with other yacht clubs around the world, so membership at WYC serves as a membership in the larger yachting community worldwide. As our club is geographically located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, we have a dynamic and diverse membership that includes many international members. We are the “spirit of Aloha in the heart of the Pacific!"
