The P.I.C.Y.A. was formed in San Francisco on May 12, 1896.  At that time, the Association's mission was "to establish uniform rules for governing races in which two or more clubs complete."

Three of the three founding charter clubs survive: San Francisco's Yacht Club, Corinthian Yacht Club, and Encinal Yacht Club.

While yacht racing is still one of the P.I.C.Y.A.'s charter activities, its current ninety-two yacht club members have greatly broadened the Association's purview.  Many member clubs emphasize training of future generations of boaters, and service to various community oriented events.
