Olympic Dreams- From Banderas Bay to Paris
Have you ever met an Olympian? If you spend enough time at VYC, you might just cross paths with one. Our famous bay has been a training ground for several Olympians and aspiring Olympians, who have come through the club for various levels of support. From Tanya Callas, who competed in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, to Elena Oetling Ramirez, who represented Mexico in Paris this year, we are privileged to welcome these remarkable athletes and their competitive sailing spirit into our community.
After competing in the Paris Olympic Dinghy Sailing, Elena Oetling Ramirz eloquently expressed her feelings on competition and the philosophical wisdom in such a young person. She acknowledged support from VYC by saying, "Gracias @vallartayachtclub por el apoyo y cariño incondicional." - "Thank you @vallartayachtclub for the unconditional support and love."

VYC's Junior Sailing Summer Camps: Inspiring Youth to Discover the World of Sailing
Vallarta Yacht Club's summer program offers kids an unforgettable experience learning to sail on Banderas Bay and so much more! Since its inception in 2007, the VYC Summer Program has introduced hundreds of children to the exhilarating world of sailing aboard our club’s fleet of sailboats.
This year, we will hold 4 week-long summer camps for kids ages 6 to 17, serving 15-20 young sailors per week. We asked Keyla Hernadez, VYC Director of Junior Sailing, to give us an inside look at what a week at VYC Summer Camp looks like.
