Yacht clubs were historically very exclusive places, as members had to be yacht owners. Yacht clubs have opened their doors more widely now, so more of us can enjoy them.
Yacht club membership may still be restricted to boat owners, but these now include owners of small boats like dinghies. Yacht clubs often now offer open sailing lessons.
Yacht clubs also have had to diversify to remain viable. Yacht clubs often have lovely restaurant and bar facilities, where you can enjoy a meal in a beautiful nautical environment.
Yacht clubs are pleasant places to relax, or pursue boating activities. If you love the water, see what's on offer at the nearest yacht club.
