The Laguna Madre Yacht Club is a group of boating enthusiasts who enjoy sailing and boating in the Laguna Madre and Gulf of Mexico. Our members are the shorts-wearing neighbors and friends you'll find in local stores and in your community. We are an informal club and happy to have people join in at many of our events.
Regatta races are the fourth Saturday of each month. Results will be posted on the website. The primary race routes will be announced Monday of each week before the race. Winner(s) will be recognized at Club Socials.
