ABOUT IYFR TAIWAN
About IYFR Taiwan
The International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians (IYFR) is a global Rotary fellowship built around sailing, fellowship, international exchange and ocean-related charity. A shared love of the sea brings Rotarians together across borders, building friendship on the water and extending Rotary’s spirit of service to the ocean.
Surrounded by sea on all sides, Taiwan is blessed with rich marine resources and diverse harbour cultures. IYFR Taiwan belongs to the Pan-Pacific Area 3, with 11 fleets spanning the north, centre, south and east of the island, steadily forming one complete maritime network — welcoming Rotarian sailors from around the world to come and experience Taiwan.
