Situated on the Esplanade in the heart of Esperance the Yacht Club is not only a paradise for sailors, but also offers the ideal location for a host of functions including weddings, celebrations, meetings and seminars with two function rooms available.
A large screen is available in both rooms to connect laptops and data projectors to, as well as a whiteboard PA system and WiFi.
The Esperance Bay Yacht Club Inc. (EBYC) operates under a full Club Licence. Venue hire is freely available by contract of agreement but where the provision and consumption of alcohol is involved, the premises are only available for hire to financial members.
A non-sailing associate membership can be arranged for a $57.00 nomination fee and annual subscription of $167.00.
New member nomination 2024-2025
All alcohol served on the licensed premises, (which includes the outdoor areas surrounding the main building) must, by law, be supplied and controlled by the licensee. Sorry, NO BYO.
Hires operate on a “bareboat charter” basis. The venue is made available clean and in its default set-up and it is a specific condition of hire that it must be re-instated to that condition on completion.
All additional services such as cleaning, re-instatement, bar staff, tea/coffee and catering are available at a modest additional cost and a quote can be provided once requirements have been established.
Catering can be undertaken by yourselves or commercial caterers (EBYC’s preferred caterer is Saltwater Catering), however where our galley facilities are used there is an additional hire charge of $163.00 to the hirer. This should be taken into account in your catering budget.
