Up River Yacht Club
Sailing at its best
West Mersea
Probably the liveliest sailing centre on the East Coast. Steeped in history with a great sailing and fishing heritage. Famous for its oysters. An easy day sail from Up River with access at all states of the tide via a well buoyed channel. The creeks offer good protection from all wind directions and extensive deep water moorings.
Food and drink
Several pubs, cafes and restaurants within a few hundred metres of the landing stage. In addition, the West Mersea Yacht Club (open 7 days a week) offers a great menu and beer at £2.40 a pint (who needs Wetherspoons!).
No tenders required
The club has full time launches that operate as water taxis for members and visitors from 8am to 11.00pm. Tip; call them on Channel 37 on arrival and they will show you to a vacant mooring. Then call them up to be taken ashore and keep their mobile numbers to hand to call them again to get a lift back to your boat, £2 per person per journey. But free return to your boat if you eat or drink at the Yacht Club.
Overnight mooring
- Vessels up to 33 feet /10.05 metres – £10.00
- Vessels over 33 feet/10.05 metres – £15.00

The waterfront
Those famous houseboats, thriving dinghy and sailing training centre. Authentic quality fish restaurants; notably ‘ The Company Shed ’ during the day and ‘ The Oyster Bar ’ for evening meals. Reservations essential.
Picture postcard fisherman’s cottages. Some nice coastal walks . Easily accessible clean dog friendly beach. Coastal park and paths. Small town with the usual local facilities. Buses to Colchester.
The moorings, landing and local area . This video is not exactly entertaining but informative in terms of the landing facilities and moorings adjacent to the town.
Great sunsets.
