Probably the World's Smallest Yacht Club... and Possibly the Friendliest

As keen sailors, we're also proud to be home to the Pagudpud Yacht Club, which may well be the smallest yacht club in the world. We are also possibly the only yacht club that doesn't actually own a yacht, a marina, or even a boat, and we're located a whole 50 metres from the sea! What we do have is cold beer, good food, great coffee, plenty of sailing stories, and an enthusiastic Commodore who has spent a lifetime sailing everything from small dinghies to racing and cruising yachts. One day we'll have some boats, but until then we're making do with the important things. Every now and then a cruising yacht will anchor offshore and the crew will wander in, proving that real sailors can always find a yacht club, no matter how unlikely it looks. So if you're a sailor, boatie, dreamer, or simply someone who enjoys a good nautical tale, pull up a chair and join us. Fair winds, cold drinks, and sea stories are always on the menu at the Pagudpud Yacht Club.
