What Iate Clube De Santa Catarina Veleiros Da Ilha does

Iate Clube de Santa Catarina Veleiros da Ilha (ICSC) is a private member-based nautical and yacht club founded in 1944 and headquartered in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Self-described as the largest nautical association in the state and one of the most important sailing clubs in Brazil, ICSC operates across two purpose-built sites — Sede Central in downtown Florianópolis (Rua Silva Jardim, 838) and Sede Oceânica in the Jurerê International district (Rodovia Tertuliano Brito Xavier, 3052) — and serves competitive sailors, sport fishing participants, social members, and event clients.

The club's product portfolio centers on organizing and hosting sailing championships and fishing tournaments: the Copa Veleiros de Oceano (a 9-stage ocean circuit), Copa Veleiros de Monotipos (Optimist, ILCA 4/6/7, Snipe, 29er, Dingue), Copa Flotilha de Oceano, the 58th-edition Regata Volta à Ilha de Santa Catarina, the 37th-edition Circuito Oceânico de Santa Catarina, and the multi-category Campeonato de Pesca Veleiros da Ilha. It operates an Escola de Vela (sailing school) covering beginner-to-competitive levels, and rents its facilities for private/corporate events. Athlete development is a central capability, with members qualifying for the 2027 Pan-American Games (Larissa Juk, Lightning class) and pursuing Olympic pathways (Bruno Fontes, ILCA).

ICSC's revenue mechanics rest on member dues, event entry fees, sailing-school tuition, and venue rental income, supplemented by corporate sponsorship routed through Brazil's Lei de Incentivo ao Esporte framework (in continuous use since 2012, with the Calendário Náutico 2026/2027 project budgeted at R$ 1,871,480.38). The club is governed by a Commodore (currently Ildefonso Witoslawski Júnior) and a management council, holds the only Blue Flag (FEE) certification in South America at Sede Central since 2016, and is registered with the Comitê Brasileiro de Clubes (CBC) under Portaria ME n° 115. The organization has 17 employees and is privately held with no institutional investor or parent-company ownership.
