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.

Moonlight Madness Race
Time: Sunset (approx. 6:30pm)
Information:
Chase the sunset and sail into the glow of twilight! Boats will race from Buoy #4 out to the Farewell Buoy and back, turning a simple out-and-back course into something unforgettable as the sky shifts from gold to indigo.
This event is open to both sailboats and powerboats, so whether you race under canvas or cruise with horsepower, you’re invited to join the fun.
With a sunset start and slack tide, expect smooth sailing and great breeze — perfect for trimming sails, calling tactics, and enjoying the magic of racing as navigation lights begin to sparkle across the water.
It’s a fun, slightly adventurous evening on the Laguna Madre — part race, part sunset cruise, and all LMYC camaraderie.
