About Mordialloc Motor Yacht Club
A hundred years is a long time for any volunteer club, and Mordialloc Motor Yacht Club has just crossed that line: established in 1925 and celebrating its centenary in 2025, it is among the first clubs organised on Port Phillip's shores. Its home is one of the more unusual in Victorian boating — Lambert's Island, a grassed island in Mordialloc Creek a short walk from the Nepean Highway bridge, reached on foot over a bridge from the Bridge Hotel car park.
Despite the name, the club is a three-way proposition: sailing, fishing and power boating all have active sections, and the roughly 200 members range in age from their mid-twenties through to retirees. The sailing section races trailer-sailer and keel-type yachts on Port Phillip, with spinnaker fleets featuring on the club calendar, while the power section's navigation rallies take members to host clubs around the bay. The club pays respect to the Bunurong people of the Kulin nation, the Traditional Owners of the land and water it occupies.
Club life has a settled, convivial rhythm. General meetings run on the first Tuesday night of each month, the Sutton Lounge hosts social evenings, and members swap contributions through the Salty Yarns column and an Armchair Sailor page — the hallmarks of a club where seamanship stories are currency. The bar has even gone cash-free with a new point-of-sale system, a small sign of a centenarian club keeping current.
Members' boats still lie at creek moorings — along the South Wall, and ringing the island — as they have since the earliest days, and the creek gives sheltered access straight out into Port Phillip. It is a club for people who keep boats, use them, and enjoy the company of others who do the same.
