CAPTAIN'S LOG – This Month at FBYC

Welcome to this month’s Captain’s Log, where we share a brief update from the helm…

Compliments of the Season to all our members. I wish you and your families everything of the best for 2026.

The Yacht Club has been humming with activity over the festive season. It has been wonderful to see members and their guests enjoying all that the Club has to offer – from beautiful, wind-free days and crystal-clear waters to marina frolicking, beers and braais, celebrations, and socialising.

A heartfelt thank you to all FBYC staff and our restaurant team for their dedication and hard work in making this festive season so enjoyable for our members. Overall, it has been a truly successful and vibrant period for the Club.

Looking ahead, the Club is seeking to recruit a member to join the Hospitality Portfolio. If you have restaurant or hospitality experience and would like to contribute your skills, please contact the Club Manager, Paul Dennett, at manager@fbyc.co.za.

Fair winds to all.
