About us

Visiting yachtsmen and motorboating guests can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of our pontoon, or a mooring overlooking areas of wetland with an abundance of wildlife and views out to the Solent.

We have clean and modern cloakroom facilities for members and a welcoming bar and restaurant area in which members and visitors alike can relax, drink and dine. Our bosun offers an all-year-round water taxi service.
History
The origins of the Royal Southampton Yacht Club go back to the West Quay Amateur Regatta Club in 1858, and which was renamed the Southampton Amateur Regatta Club in 1862. Frequent races were held in the waters opposite the old West Quay, before the extensive development of the Southampton waterfront.
