The Ao Chalong Yacht Club (ACYC) began in the early 1990's as the Ao Chalong Cruising Yacht Club (ACCYC). Established by several locals to get people together for cruising purposes, its first 'home' was Pan's Lighthouse. The Ao Chalong Yacht Club was formed several years later and offered Sunday races, giving it a more competitive nature.

The club officially moved into new premises in 2009 in the Chalong area off Chao Fa Road close to Flints-One Bakery and Fisherman Way Business Center. A beachfront location with dinghy storage, an open-aired restaurant and bar, make it an idyllic place in which to gather after a Sunday race, socialize and have a casual meal.

ACYC holds Sunday races two times a month, a total of 16 races for 2010, from March through November with breaks for regional regattas for keel yachts and multihulls with a length overall of greater than 6 metres. The racing season for 2010 is divided into two series with the ANDAMAN CABRIOLET SERIES, sponsored by Composite Catamarans, running from 7 March until July and the TAMARIND VILLA SERIES, sponsored by Tamarind Villa Phuket running from 15 August until November. See the sailing programme for more information.
