Established in 1875, the Royal Dorset Yacht Club has been at the heart of sailing and social life on the Dorset coast for 150 years.

Private Members' Club • Social Events • Harbour Views • Reciprocal Club Benefits

Steeped in history and situated in the beautiful coastal town of Weymouth, the Royal Dorset Yacht Club enjoys an enviable position overlooking one of the finest natural harbours on the south coast. While our maritime heritage remains central to the Club, you do not need to own a boat to become a member. Many of our members simply enjoy the welcoming atmosphere, vibrant social calendar, harbour views and excellent hospitality.

Members benefit from a comfortable clubhouse, well-stocked bar, regular events, guest speakers, live entertainment and reciprocal arrangements with yacht and private members' clubs throughout the UK and beyond. The Club has a long and proud tradition of bringing together like-minded people to enjoy sailing, friendship and an active programme of events.

The Royal Dorset is a warm and friendly private members' club. Members and their guests, visiting yachtsmen, members of affiliated clubs and those interested in discovering more about the club and its membership options are always invited to enjoy our hospitality.
