RVMYC
A progressive club based on traditional values
Our position across the bay from Port Melbourne, has commanding views of the city skyline. The boating calendar kicks off in October with an Opening Day, where members unite to begin the festivities. The event commences with formalities which include the Commodore’s address and the official opening. Past openings have included State Premiers and Senior Naval Personnel. Following formalities, members and guests take to their boats for the traditional sail past and blessing, an ancient tradition, to discourage bad weather and ill seas for the year.
Our facilities are continually improving, with a new Clubhouse having opened in May 2015.
Marina Berths
Our 80 berths cater for boats up to 18 metres (60 feet) and offer permanent, casual and visitor accommodation.
All berths have access to water and shore power, plus shower and toilet facilities in the clubhouse. We adhere to the Clean Marina Program. Our participation has resulted in outstanding and efficient environmental controls and security.
Yard and Hard Stand
Excellent yard facilities are available for members’ boats requiring maintenance and we have access to a modern travel-lift from Savages Wharf who conduct the slipping and launching of vessels.
Hardstand facilities and trailer boat space are both available in the club’s paved yard at moderate rates for members.
Waterfront Dining and Venue Facilities
RVMYC offers a social experience second to none, for members and friends to enjoy dining in a relaxed atmosphere in convivial surroundings near the water’s edge.
