Nevsky Flot: Russia’s First Yacht Club. Peter the Great founded Nevsky Flot in 1718, with 141 boats. The club, which was founded to “entertain people” in perpetuity, ceased to exist when Peter the Great died in 1725. Nevsky Flot remained dormant until 1892, when a Navy initiative led to the creation of Nevsky Yacht Club. Nevsky Flot will always be St. Petersburg’s – and Russia’s – first yacht club. And since it closed its doors in 1725, Royal Cork YC can maintain it is the world’s oldest standing yacht club.
There were several yacht clubs founded before and after the second coming of Nevsky Flot, which is located in St. Petersburg.
