Biscayne Bay Yacht Club has recently adopted the sport of windsurfing.

Currently, BBYC is the location of one of the most successful youth windsurfing programs in the United States of America.

Biscayne Bay Yacht Club has already hosted several windsurfing regattas and is known internationally as a hub of the sport.

From 1888 to 1893, the Cape Florida lighthouse was leased by the United States Secretary of the Treasury for a total of US$1.00 (20 cents per annum) to the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club for use as its headquarters.

After the lease expired, in 1932, the club purchased its present clubhouse located at 2540 South Bayshore Drive, Coconut Grove, which is adjacent to Biscayne Bay.
