Lakewood, however, is so much more than just a yacht club for docking your boat; it is a haven for members, their families and guests. There is a sense of peace and tranquility here combined with unparalleled camaraderie that makes Lakewood an escape from your everyday world. Add to that the club’s calendar which is overflowing with a variety of social and water activities for all ages and you have a remarkable package with remarkable value.
The Bermuda-style clubhouse provides Lakewood’s 500 plus members with harbor-view dining facilities and excellent cuisine. Lakewood has a stunning bar and piano lounge with several large screen televisions. At the other end of the clubhouse is a harbor-view ballroom for monthly holiday/event parties as well as popular Sunday brunches. Children enjoy visiting their friends and playing videos in our supervised Game Room while their parents partake of a quiet dinner meal.
Lakewood has a strong agenda of regattas and cruises organized by Lakewood’s enthusiastic volunteers. An active Ladies Association holds monthly luncheon meetings with a program in addition to a fun group trip every year. Our Youth Program, known as the Seahorses, is recognized as the best in Texas and is guided year-round by the club’s parent volunteers and dedicated coaches. Three lighted tennis courts and friendly but competitive monthly tennis socials and weekly matches add to the allure of Lakewood.
Lakewood Yacht Club offers a unique Youth Sailing Program, with a wide variety of opportunities for children of all ages. Achieving prominence as one of the top yacht club programs in the United States, our youth sailors (the Seahorses) participate in the Texas Sailing Association Series as well as National and International Regattas worldwide. With programs that offer year-round fun for members and guests alike, with our summer sailing camps, Learn-to Sail and Advanced Racing classes there is something for every young aspiring sailor at Lakewood Yacht Club.
Youth Sailing
Under the direction of dedicated coaches, Lakewood Yacht Club’s Youth Sailing Program has grown into being the envy of other yacht clubs all over the country, not just around the Gulf Coast. The Seahorses have brought stellar recognition to the club, influencing our membership growth as families join the club so their children can learn to sail and compete, if they wish. As long-time local racer Charles Milby says of sailing as a child,“Once I learned how to crew, once I learned how to trim a spinnaker and a jib, I could go anyplace. It was a skill I learned. I could sail a 13 foot boat or a sixty foot boat; the principles are exactly the same.”
