In 1964, two naval officers, Joe Quicker and Al Tarantino began formulating the idea of a Navy Sailing Club in San Diego, to serve the military community and foster seamanship and esprit-de-corps within the Sailors and Officers that joined its membership. Navy Yacht Club San Diego continues to serve the military community by offering a gateway to greater enjoyment of San Diego's natural maritime resources.
2025 Quicker Tarantino Regatta
The Quicker/Tarantino Invitational, first regatta on Navy Yacht Club San Diego's racing calendar, is raced in honor of the two founders of NYCSD - Joe Quicker and Al Tarantino who laid the groundwork for the club in 1964 with the San Diego Naval Sailing Association. Join us afterwards on our patio for traditional burger-burn.

Did You Know?
NYCSD has a matching gift program and will double your donation to our Capital Fund Campaign? It's a fact - membership card stock is expensive! Replacing our patio tent which takes a beating from the salt air, sand, and sun - is expensive! By giving a gift of $ to our nonprofit organization, you can make a significant impact in funding our capital needs; as we match your gift, dollar for dollar, and continue to grow our club together.
