The Barbados Yacht Club was established in 1924 with a primary focus of promoting sailing on the island of Barbados. In 1932 it was granted a Royal Warrant by King George V to become the Royal Barbados Yacht Club. In 1967 it lost the use of the Royal honorific and reverted to the Barbados Yacht Club shortly after Barbados gained independence from Great Britain in 1966.
