Memberships

 

Whether you are an expert sailor or a beginner, the Fort Worth Boat Club is the place for you.

The internationally known Fort Worth Boat Club was established in 1929, making it one of the oldest yacht clubs in Texas. Spread out over 14 beautiful acres on the shores of Eagle Mountain Lake, the FWBC offers a secluded, private family-oriented atmosphere with a swimming pool and tennis court. Members are eligible to use our fleet of ten J22s and receive monthly newsletters and the annual LogBook (member address book).

Amenities include a year-round, full-service restaurant and bar. Traditional functions are held throughout the year with facilities available to members for private functions. In fact, some non-sailors join the Boat Club as social members just to use the dining facilities with family and friends.

We have a large harbor with sailboat slips, covered boathouses and full harbor services including gasoline, hoist, launching, etc. Dry storage of boats is also available. A small chandlery sells boat parts, nautical clothing and souvenirs. On-site security is provided 24 hours a day.

FWBC has an extremely active fleet racing year-round, a junior sailing program which includes a summer camp. We are reciprocal with most other yacht and boat clubs.

Membership to the Fort Worth Boat Club is by invitation only and may be initiated by submitting a written application, available from the FWBC office to the Secretary. The application needs to be endorsed by two FWBC members in good standing. If approved by the Membership Committee, the applicant’s name is posted for a minimum of two weeks. If no written objection is filed with the Club Secretary during the posting period, the applicant becomes a member.
