IYFR

Thank you for your interest in Rotary’s boating Fellowship. The International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians is the oldest and largest of the Rotary Fellowships. It began in England in 1947 and has grown to 98 fleets, with more than 3000 members in 31 Countries.

MEMBERSHIP
All Rotarians and Rotaractors can join IYFR. The only requirement for joining is an active interest in boating (ownership of a boat is not required). Fleets are located worldwide. If there is not a fleet in your area, you are invited to start building up a Squadron of the nearest Fleet and to join as a Member of that Fleet to enjoy benefits of membership. Inquiries should be sent via email to [email protected]


FELLOWSHIP AND SERVICE
Boating with fellow Rotarians and friends is a delightful way to share ideas, improve your seamanship, provide support for Rotary service activities, make lasting friendships and practice the ideals of Rotary.
Boat ownership is not required for membership.
Membership is encouraged for all Rotarians that share an interest and love for the water.
