The Royal Thames Yacht Club is the oldest sailing club in the United kingdom. Our members participate in a wide range of  sailing events in home waters and worldwide. At the same time our unique London clubhouse provides a focal point for the yachting world. 

The Knightsbridge clubhouse is a haven for those who want a relaxing and exclusive land base in London. There are two bars, reading rooms, an excellent restaurant - still called the 'Coffee Room' - and cabins for those staying in London.

A friendly welcome, fine food and comfortable accommodation are guaranteed. The Club has a distinguished cellar and a tradition of serving superb wines at reasonable cost. Social events range from traditional balls to dinners with leading speakers, and from golf days to the Varsity match.

The clubhouse is also available for a wide variety of business and social functions sponsored by Members. These may be on a large scale or small, ranging from private meetings to class association gatherings and family weddings.

Other Advantages for Members

The Club has a number of moorings on the Solent both at Hamble and Cowes. These are available to Members at attractive rates.

There are close ties with a very limited number of other great yacht clubs where Members of the Royal Thames are full reciprocal members. As a result, it is possible for them to stay for example at the New York Yacht Club in the USA or at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron in Australia.

In addition there are other reciprocal arrangements with about sixty leading yacht clubs around the world and twenty five in the UK. Members of the Royal Thames can be confident of a welcome wherever they travel.
