Situated along the west coast approximately 7 km from the Port Dickson town centre. Built as a social and family club as early as 1927, the Royal PD Yacht Club has a beautiful and long history that predates the Second World War.

Before the 1950s, it was a simple yet fun place for friends and family members to gather for an evening of fun. However, as sailing grew in popularity in the fifties, it was inevitable for the club to add a yachting section.

And thus, it became known as the Port Dickson Club and Yacht Club. One of the earliest members, Mr. R.B. Perkins, who had lots of interest in sailing along with other sporting activities, helped popularise the club and membership skyrocketed to over 400 in that era!

As the years went by, the club continued to thrive and grow with more facilities added while continuous renovations and upgrades helped the place keep up with modern times.

Then, in 1987, the club was renamed the Port Dickson Yacht Club and gained its ‘Royal’ status in 1991.

So, deep history aside, here are several things you can do at the club:
