Buccaneer Yacht Club (BYC) was founded in 1928 as a member-run club which emphasizing sailing and racing above all other amenities. Buccaneer is the premier racing club on the gulf coast and is located on the west side of Mobile Bay, just south of downtown Mobile and north of the mouth of Dog River. Facilities include a club house (under construction as part of the ongoing Hurricane Katrina recovery), a bar, boat harbor with 2 boat lifts and dry storage facilities. The new club house has the longest continuous deck on the bay and possibly the gulf coast.
BYC is a private club for members and guests only. The Club is family oriented and the objectives of this Club are to promote sportsmanship and good fellowship and to encourage and to enjoy the use of sail boats or other pleasure craft.
The Club is maintained as a non-profit organization.
The Buccaneer is located at 4381 Park Road, Mobile, AL 36605
