Founded on April 24, 1955, by Sterling Hogan Sr., Captain W.R. Parker, and J.D. Taylor, Lakewood Yacht Club (LYC) has become a cornerstone of the Gulf Coast's maritime community. Situated on 38 acres in Seabrook, Texas, along Clear Lake, the club boasts a marina accommodating over 530 vessels, both in covered and open slips.
Originally catering to powerboaters, LYC embraced sailing in the 1970s, evolving into a hub for both power and sail enthusiasts. The club hosts prestigious events like the Harvest Moon Regatta, the largest offshore, port-to-port race on the Gulf Coast, and the Keels & Wheels Concours d’Elegance, a renowned classic car and vintage boat show that has raised over $1.8 million for local charities.
LYC's commitment to sailing excellence is evident in its award-winning youth program, producing sailors who have achieved national and world championships. Recognized as one of the nation's Top 10 Yacht Clubs by the Robb Report, LYC continues to uphold its tradition of fostering camaraderie, promoting maritime pursuits, and serving the community.
