South of Perth Yacht Club was founded on 18 December 1945 with the official opening of the Clubhouse at Olives Reserve on 18 November 1946. Frank Sampson was appointed the first Commodore until 1949. In 1960 the club was relocated to where it now resides at Coffee Point on the western shore of the Canning River in Applecross.

Our purpose is to promote boating and to meet our purpose the club offers a wide range of services for boat owners. These include undercover storage for racing dinghies, hard standing for trailer-able yachts and powerboats, water pens for boats to 25 metres, swing moorings and slipping facilities and an onsite chandlery “Coffee Point Marine Services”.

The Club has a licensed restaurant, with some of Perth’s best views overlooking the Swan and Canning Rivers and an uninterrupted view of Perth city. The restaurant caters for lunch and dinner as well as special functions. Three bars meet the needs of members and their guests while two outside areas cater for informal al fresco dining and barbecues. During the summer we provide two marquees for functions.

The South of Perth Yacht Club Sailing Academy is Australian Sailing accredited and offers a variety of courses in both sailing and power boating throughout the year.
