Background & Overview
The Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia (CYCSA), established in 1973, is one of Australia’s leading yacht clubs, located at North Haven on the Le Fevre Peninsula. With over 1,200 members, the Club offers a broad range of sailing and social activities just minutes from Semaphore, Port Adelaide, and West Lakes.
Covering approximately 36 hectares of land and water, the Club is managed by a General Manager and staff, overseen by an elected Board of Management. The Board appoints a President and Treasurer, while the Commodore and supporting Flag Officers represent the Club in public and ceremonial roles.
Membership options cater to all interests and age groups, with Senior Members holding voting rights and the ability to own marina and hardstanding berths. CYCSA is unique in owning its freehold land and water through a unit trust, allowing berth ownership to be bought, sold, or leased.
CYCSA is affiliated with key industry bodies including the Marina Industry Association of Australia, Boating Industry Association of SA, Australian Sailing and more.
