Club de Yates de Acapulco

About

The club has its origins in the 1940s as a group known as 'Club Náutico'. It was relocated and constructed in the Bahía de Santa Lucía starting in 1955, with formal inauguration on December 19, 1955. Significant expansions were made for the 1968 Olympics, which extended the pier to over 600 meters and allowed for 300–400 yachts. This project was led by Mario Pani and Salvador Ortega, with the first stone laid by Dolores del Río, according to the club's history and encyclopedic entries.
