Taal Lake Yacht Club

Taal Lake Yacht Club (TLYC) is a recreational facility located on Taal Lake in Batangas, Philippines, approximately an hour's drive from Manila. The club offers a variety of water-based activities and leisure services in a natural lakeside setting. Its primary offerings include sailing tours aboard the Taal Explorer catamaran, which can accommodate up to 15 passengers for sunrise or sunset tours to isolated swimming areas, with optional food and drink packages. The club provides banca (traditional boat) tours for sightseeing on the lake. It also offers boat hire and sailing lessons for various skill levels, using boats such as the Hobie Getaway, Hobie 16, Oz Goose, and Optimist classes, with experienced coaches available. TLYC promotes itself as a hub for Hobie sailing and dinghy/catamaran racing, hosting events for classes like Hobie 16 and Oz Goose. Beyond sailing, the club caters to family and group events, providing facilities for picnics, camping, photoshoots, celebrations, and family get-togethers. Guests can rent waterfront Nipa Huts for relaxation, fishing, sailing, or canoeing, and camping is permitted with tent rentals available. Catering for meals can be arranged. The club has two contact points: a main club office in Barrio Sta. Maria, Talisay, Batangas, and a Makati office in Corinthian Plaza. Key contacts include Peter Capotosto as Commodore for boat hire, sailing lessons, and tours; Sonia Lucero for banca trips, camping, catering, and hut rentals; and Boyet Mendoza for sailing lessons and coaching. The club maintains a social media presence on Facebook and Instagram for updates and community engagement.
