Overview
Iate Clube de Santos was founded in 1947 as the Guarujá Yacht Club and took its present name in 1960. Its boating base is in Guarujá on the Santos harbour channel, with wet and dry berths, storage sheds, two travel lifts and its own fuel dock; the club also has a base at Angra dos Reis (Porto Frade, since 1986) and a social seat in Higienópolis, São Paulo.
