Metung Yacht Club

Commodore’s Welcome

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Metung Yacht Club, situated on the shores of the majestic Gippsland Lakes. The club has a rich history going back to the early 1930’s.

The club’s membership encompasses people from all walks of life who are interested in many forms of on-water activity. Our volunteers support an active junior sailing program, and the Club offers a wide range of activities for sailors and power boaters. Activities include racing and cruising events, Twilight sailing and easy social cruises.

I hope you will take the opportunity to visit our re-furbished Clubhouse and enjoy the friendship and boating atmosphere Metung is renowned for.

Visitors are most welcome.

Learn about the History of Metung YC

Founded amidst the Great Depression in 1934, Metung Yacht Club initially convened in Joe Bull’s log cabin, embracing one-design racing with the international "Snipe" class. After a brief hiatus in the 1940s due to the war, the club was rejuvenated in the 1950s, transforming from a modest beginning into a prominent hub for sailing and boating on the Lakes, supported by visionary projects and community contributions.
