The Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club is a yacht club situated in Freshwater Bay on the Swan River in Peppermint Grove, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia.
The club was founded in 1896 by a group of friends including Aubrey Sherwood and Edward Keane,[1][self-published source] whose residence is now the RFBYC clubhouse.
It is the second yacht club in Perth to be granted the royal charter, and it has established a strong but friendly rivalry with the other royal club, Royal Perth Yacht Club.
[2][self-published source] Each year the fleets of the two Royal clubs race, with the prize The Governor's Cup being presented by the Governor of Western Australia.
