Royal Suva Yacht Club – RSYC

Welcome to the Capital – Suva!

Suva Harbour is well protected by a fringing reef about 1.5 miles offshore. The opening is well marked and wide enough to enter with plenty of room for commercial ships. However, the reefs lining the coast and the main entrance are dotted with shipwrecks.

ABOUT THE CLUB

The Royal Suva Yacht Club was established in 1932 but believed to have been formed earlier. It was formed by a small group headed by T.M. Mcquire, later elected as the club’s first Commodore.

Members of the club were initially British officials at the time but later I-taukei and Indo-Fijians were admitted to its ranks. The first official race was held in the Suva Harbour in 1932.
