About This Marina
Coral Reef Yacht Club is a long-established Coconut Grove yachting landmark on Biscayne Bay. The club’s modern era traces to 1955, when the first Board of Directors purchased the clubhouse from the George Engle estate. Today, CRYC is recognized for hospitality, sailing tradition, and competitive events—while also offering a small, carefully managed marina for members and reciprocal guests.
Boaters should treat CRYC as a “plan-ahead” stop: visiting yachts typically arrange dockage with the Dockmaster at least a day in advance, and arrivals are handled within a defined daytime window. Once secured, your location puts you close to iconic Biscayne Bay cruising water, with Dinner Key and Key Biscayne routes nearby.
