Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club

The club was born in 1965, but was conceived long before then in the Crofton Hotel (where the B.I.M. offices now stand). It was there that a number of owners who were not members of any club and who kept their boats haphazardly in the Inner Harbour or in the Coal Harbour used to meet.It was at the suggestion of Joe Briscoe, our founder commodore, that the formation of a proper club was considered and with a subscription of £1 each he raised a fund of £30. With this and the help of a dedicated band the task was tackled.

The Club was named to indicate that it catered for all types of craft and for all types of people - the only common denominator being that they get their enjoyment from boating.

So if your leisure pleasure is serious sailing or just 'messing about in boats' and if you are looking for friendly companionship which will last a lifetime - Welcome aboard!
