Swansea Yacht and Sub-Aqua Club is located on the western bank of the river Tawe at Swansea between the Sail Bridge and the entrance to the council run marina.

The premises consist of the clubhouse, marina, boat yard and diving club building.

There are approximately 450 members of the club which include Yachtsmen (Cruising and Racing), Motor Boat users, Rowers, Anglers, Divers and social members.

The marina, which is a members only facility, is home to approximately 200 members boats. The adjoining boat yard and lift provide the facilities for boat maintenance at reasonable cost, which is of prime importance to the majority of members.

The diving section occupy an outbuilding which houses two large RIB inflatable boats, diving equipment, an air compressor and nitrox blending facility. The diving section is well equipped and well provided for within the club.

The clubhouse is a former pumphouse of the old North dock and is the centre of our social activities which are very extensive and varied.

The galley is very central to club life and offers a wide range of snacks and meals at reasonable cost. The bar offers a wide range of drinks which include several ales brewed locally at the Tomas Watkin brewery. We have a lively social calendar, and all RYA members are most welcome at these events. The latest events are published on this website, you may also check the main club calendar.

SYSAC is a members club but visitors will be most warmly welcomed into our clubhouse for a drink and and a meal. Why not pay us a visit and relax in our upstairs lounge, which has a excellent view across the river - weather permitting!!!
