Yacht Club de Rio Grande sits on the shore of Lagoa dos Patos in Rio Grande do Sul, serving as a water access point for boating and fishing on one of South America's largest coastal lagoons.

The club occupies roughly 40,000 square meters of recreational grounds and 58,000 square meters of nautical area, and maintains three hangares for storing both assembled and disassembled vessels, plus additional land-based boat parking.

Rio Grande itself is an official port of entry and exit, with the yacht club positioned near the dredged channel that connects Lagoa dos Patos to the sea.

The surrounding waters attract anglers and paddlers, and the nearby Ponte Dos Franceses is a notable landmark along this stretch of the lagoon.
