Established in 1956 by a group of twelve families, Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club was born a member-owned, volunteer-driven club devoted to competition and camaraderie on the water. Today, we honor the legacy of our founders; their incredible foresight continues to inspire us as we build on their cornerstone.
