Welcome to the Arizona Yacht Club on the Web!

Arno MarcuseAYC is a club of more than 245 families who sail in the desert, amazing as that may seem. The emphasis is on good times and good sailing, all year long. We have a full racing program, an active cruising group, and education for members and their children. Please look around and learn more about who we are. The membership section below carries lots of information for newcomers who want to know about sailing in Arizona or who might be thinking of joining a sailing club. I hope to see you at our next event!
Arno Marcuse, Commodore
