The Chattanooga Yacht Club has become one of Tennessee’s premier yacht clubs. Our club’s strong historical background combined with a modern focus on the evolving needs of its members has given our club the ability to stand the test of time. CYC’s rich heritage began in 1925 as the Chattanooga Rod and Gun Club by an influential group of 250 Chattanooga businessmen led by J.W. Oliphant.
The Chattanooga Yacht Club is a private club and a true power boater’s yacht club. With over 3000 feet of shoreline located on 63 protected acres, CYC is one of the finest boating facilities along the Tennessee River System. The CYC yacht basin is a picturesque and welcoming port for all types of boating and enthusiasts
From Our President
Welcome to the Chattanooga Yacht Club, where a century of tradition meets the promise of an exciting new horizon. As we begin our second century in 2026, CYC remains a place that is both spirited and welcoming. From lively social gatherings to relaxed evenings in the clubhouse, our docks are filled with laughter, shared stories, and a deep love of boating. More than a destination, CYC is a family – one built on friendship, seamanship, and a shared commitment to enjoying life on the water together.
