Founded in 1775, the Royal Thames Yacht Club is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the world.

Our members are sailors, racers, cruisers and stewards of the sea. With a full programme of fleet and team racing on the Solent and at Queen Mary Reservoir, a variety of cruises and rallies around the world and a clubhouse in Knightsbridge, our members enjoy on-the-water activity and camaraderie year round.
Welcome Aboard

On The Water

Each year RTYC's race management team host over 80 days of competition. Our race teams compete against UK and international clubs and members participate in a wide range of racing and cruising events in home waters and worldwide. A full programme of fleet and team racing runs year-round in our new fleet of 12 Sonars, based at Queen Mary Reservoir, in the autumn/winter, and from April until October in our J/70s based in Cowes.

The Knightsbridge Clubhouse is a haven for those who want a relaxing and exclusive base in London. There are two bars, reading and meeting rooms, an excellent a la carte restaurant, still called the 'Coffee Room', a relaxed bistro and cabins for those wishing to stay in the heart of London.

A friendly welcome, fine food and comfortable accommodation are guaranteed.

Sailing and Social Programme

Along side our on-the-water activities sits our social programme, which offers members a wide and varied selection of events to suit their many interests. From formal dinners to themed parties, regular wine tasting evenings and our autumn/winter series of Waterside Chats that showcase the endeavours and expertise from within and beyond the club.
