This is PHYC -- and there's a place for you here.
For more than a century, PHYC has been woven into the history of Hawaiian sailing, the U.S. Navy, and yacht racing across the islands. From the earliest days, sailors, military leaders, and community members gathered here to race, cruise, and connect on the waters of Pearl Harbor.
Our history is preserved through cherished trophies, restored awards, and stories passed down by generations of sailors. Many of these trophies are still raced for and awarded annually — a living connection between past and present.
PHYC is the FUN Place to Sail.
Today, PHYC blends tradition with a laid-back sailing lifestyle — from casual sails and monthly events to community gatherings on and off the water.
Follow us on social media for the latest highlights, and reach out anytime: info@pearlharboryachtclub.org
Here’s to smooth sailing, great company, and many more years ahead. ⛵
