Sail with us toward the sea, toward the world
Warmly Inviting You to Join IYFR
The International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians (IYFR) welcomes all Rotarians who love the sea and share Rotary’s spirit of service. Joining IYFR doesn’t require owning a boat or prior sailing experience — if you have passion for the ocean, sailing, international exchange and service, you can start from getting to know us and experiencing it firsthand, becoming someone “willing to set sail together."
Taiwan currently has 11 fleets across the north, centre, south and east — feel free to join whichever fleet is nearest you, or choose one that matches your interests.
