Royal Dart Yacht Club prepares to celebrate 150 years with a series of special events and regattas

Queen Victoria visits the Royal Dartmouth Yacht Club in 1856

One of the country’s oldest yacht clubs celebrates its 150 th anniversary in 2016.  A programme of events will commemorate the Royal Dart Yacht Club’s landmark.

Events organised this year by the Royal Dart Yacht Club will include the well-established and popular Dartmouth Classics Regatta, a new competition – Savills Commodore’s Challenge Cup – and the Royal Dart Provident 150 th Challenge, aimed at young people.

The first yacht club in England was launched by the Duke of Cumberland in 1775, becoming the Royal Thames Yacht Club in 1823. In the wave of enthusiasm for sailing for pleasure that followed during the mid-Victorian era, landowner Henry Studdy, from Stoke Gabriel in Devon, and a group of friends got together for the inaugural meeting of the Dart Yacht Club at the Castle Hotel, Dartmouth on June 8, 1866.

They established a base on the Kingswear side of the River Dart in two rooms of a hotel and invited like-minded people to apply for membership, at a cost of a guinea a year.

Royal approval came in 1873 after the Club petitioned Queen Victoria. Years earlier, in August 1856, the monarch had been sailing along the coast when poor weather forced her to pay an impromptu visit to Dartmouth. She then bestowed the Royal title on the annual Regatta, which coincided with her visit. Not to be outdone, the Dart Yacht Club pressed for the same honour, supporting its case with the proclamation that it was in ‘the leading position as a sailing and racing club in the West of England’. Royal approval was duly given in time for 1873 regatta, hosted for the first time by the newly-named Royal Dart Yacht Club.

The club today is thriving, and preparing for a year of events to mark its 150 th anniversary. A week of celebratory activities from 28 May to 5 June (the date of the first meeting was 8 June) will include a coastal sail to Brixham, a sail past of members’ boats and match racing in Squibs.

One of the most spectacular events will be the Dartmouth Classics Regatta in Start Bay on Saturday and Sunday, 9 and 10 July. Last held in 2014, it will act as a feeder race to Plymouth on Monday 11 July for the start of the Plymouth-Brest-La Rochelle Revival Race.

There is a packed programme of social events during the weekend and a parade of sail before the start of Sunday’s racing. On Monday there will be a passage race to Plymouth linked to the Plymouth-Brest-La Rochelle race and some of the competing yachts for that event are expected to be in Dartmouth for the weekend.

As part of the 150th anniversary sailing programme, the Royal Dart Yacht Club has issued a challenge to nine other Yacht Clubs in the South West to compete for a new team racing trophy. The Savills Commodore’s Challenge Cup, which is sponsored by real estate services provider Savills, will be held in Start Bay on 23 July.

The Royal Dart Yacht Club also plays host to two major sailing events this year. For the first time they will be the host club as teams compete for the Spring Cup at the J24 Southern Area Weekend (16 and 17 April). Later in the year is the Association of Sail Training Organisations Race for sail training ships (20-21 August). The Royal Dart Yacht Club will host the start and, in this special anniversary year, has launched the RDYC Provident 150 Challenge to sponsor ten local young people as crew on the traditional gaff-rigged Brixham trawler Provident . The trawler, part of the National Historic Fleet, was built in 1924 and is returning to sea this spring (May) after a year of restoration by the Trinity Sailing Foundation.

The ASTO race brings together Sail Training vessels and young people in friendly competition. The event is open to Sail Training vessels under 24m, and other sailing vessels if at least half of the crew are between 12 and 25 years old. The fleet arrives in Dartmouth on 20 August, with training and social events the following day before starting the overnight race to Gosport on Monday, 22 August, expecting to arrive two days later.

This friendly and sociable yacht club is thriving today, with a lot of activity on, in and around the water. There is, literally, something for everyone. You don’t even need to have a boat!

The Junior Sailing Programme includes activities alongside RYA training. Races and other junior events prove extremely popular with competitors, organisers and spectators.

The RDYC Cruising Section organises cruises and associated events designed to encourage best practice and increase the knowledge, skills, experience and confidence of members. The Cruising Programme normally includes short trips upriver as well as the more traditional coastal hops to enjoy the hospitality of other Devon yacht clubs.

The RDYC Ladies Afloat meet every Thursday with the opportunity to dinghy sail, cruise in a wide variety of yachts and keelboats or experience power and safety boats. There are also overnight trips and other activities. Ladies Afloat will hold an Open Day on 2 June as part of the 150th RDYC celebrations.

The Boys in Boats meet on a Tuesday for a variety of activities on the water – trips up the river for lunch at the pub, fish and chip cruises to Brixham, canoeing and safety tuition. They also organise an annual cruise where yachts sail in company.

For the more competitive sailor, there is a calendar packed with races throughout the season at the Royal Dart Yacht Club. And for the armchair sailor there are talks, monthly get-togethers, quizzes and social events or just the pleasure of enjoying a drink with friends on the terrace in the sunshine.

Commodore of the Royal Dart Yacht Club, Clive Bennett, who has been a member of the RDYC for more than 20 years, is looking forward to the 150 th celebrations and has set a challenge to recruit 150 new members during the year.

How Much Do Yacht Club Memberships Cost? (5 Helpful Examples)

Joining a yacht club is an important milestone in your life. It marks a certain degree of success and allows you to enjoy plenty of luxurious amenities. Setting sail on a yacht is the ultimate way to unwind from a hectic work week while you try to climb the corporate ladder.

Fortunately, there are yacht clubs all over the country that would love to welcome you as a brand-new member. You can enjoy an afternoon on the water with a beautiful yacht in exchange for a small sum of money.

But how much do Yacht Club memberships generally cost?

Prices for Yacht Clubs will vary based on your location, the fleet, and even the amenities that are offered at the marina. The average annual membership price is between $900-$4,000 depending on your level of luxury and needs.

To give you an idea of what you could expect to pay for your yacht club membership, here are some numbers gathered from across the country:

Table of Contents

What Does Each Yacht Club Offer?

Charleston Yacht Club

Charleston is a premier cruising destination with plenty of waterways for you to explore. They offer a launch hoist, dry slips, day dockage, free parking, and a long list of events scheduled throughout the year.

You also gain privileges at other yacht clubs around the world. If you don’t own your own yacht, they have plenty of members who often have room on their boats to accommodate a few extra passengers.

Florida Yacht Club

The Florida Yacht Club is a relatively exclusive club that features amazing amenities like fine dining and an array of aquatic activities.

You can play tennis, enjoy a spa treatment or massage, or get in a rousing game of croquet from the shore. They also host events and permit you to extend your privileges to other locations scattered around the Florida coast.

What are the Cheapest Yacht Clubs?

The cheapest yacht clubs charge just under $1,000 per year for membership. While this does give you access to different types of experiences, you may be disappointed by the overall amenities.

Some yacht clubs are known for their extravagant country club styles that help you to embrace a particular lifestyle. They include Olympic-sized swimming pools, state-of-the-art tennis courts, and fine dining.

Everything has a beautiful waterfront view. It can feel like you are in the middle of an idyllic paradise without ever even having to leave the shore. If this is what you can gain from the most expensive yacht clubs, you should set your expectations much lower for the cheaper yacht clubs.

The cheaper yacht clubs lack the community aspect of these exclusive options. They feature dry slips and the occasional party, but not much more.

Some of them may have the feel of a county park with some picnic benches, outdoor grills, and a moderately sized swimming pool. Expect a much more casual atmosphere when you choose to go with a cheaper yacht club.

It is even possible that they are simply “paper yacht clubs” that do not even maintain a physical building of their own.

How Much Do the Most Expensive Yacht Clubs Cost to Join?

The most expensive yacht clubs can vary a great deal in price. Most of them will cost between $3,000 and $4,000 per year. However, you can certainly find more exclusive clubs that will cost above and beyond this.

Keep in mind that these more expensive clubs generally are not open to the public. They are offered by invitation only and you must have a member sponsor you to be considered for entrance.

When you are paying for a more expensive yacht club, you should make sure that you are really going to get your money’s worth. These expensive clubs promote a certain type of elegant lifestyle.

Make sure that you are planning to take advantage of all the amenities available from one of these clubs before you sink too much money into the membership fees. The social aspect of these expensive yacht clubs is extremely important.

If you plan to simply rent a boat from time to time, you might be able to go with a cheaper yacht club.

What Is Generally Included in the Membership Fee for Yacht Clubs?

Have you been wondering why you should join a yacht club? Many potential members want to know what they can expect from their membership fees before they commit to a year-long contract. There are many advantages to signing up for a membership with a well-known yacht club.

Amenities and Activities

First and foremost, you get access to activities and cruises planned by board members. These might be various sailing activities, dinners, get-togethers, tennis matches, or other events that take up a lazy Sunday afternoon.

You also gain access to any amenities that surround the yacht club’s marina. For many programs, this means a fitness center, pool, and tennis courts. Several locations also offer fine dining, meeting rooms, and more.

It is like a private oasis where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the regular world. Time moves slowly when you’re enjoying the amenities here.

Many yacht clubs have programs that introduce children (and adults!) to sailing. Take classes to learn more about improving your technique, sailing safety, and other important aspects of life on the open water.

Access to the Fleet

The main reason why most people join yacht clubs is to be able to rent out boats instead of purchasing their own. Joining a yacht club may give you access to an entire fleet of yachts that can be reserved for a day or weeks at a time. Some yacht clubs allow you to rent boats for up to ten days at a time.

Others do not allow you to rent out ships. They are primarily geared toward individuals who already own a yacht or will own a yacht in the future. Make sure you know the difference in advance.

Are There any Additional Costs Besides the Membership Fees?

Unfortunately, the membership fees are not the only cost associated with joining a yacht club. Most of the clubs in the United States also have a one-time initial fee that tends to cost thousands of dollars. Many will range from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the location and the exclusivity of the yacht club.

This one-time fee should be the only additional money you pay except for fuel. Most yacht clubs do not cover the cost of the fuel used in the ship during your rental if renting is an option. Be prepared for what this could cost you.

If you cause damage to the ship, you can also expect some out-of-pocket costs. Insurance should cover the damage, but you will likely be asked to cover the cost of the deductible.

Be sure to inquire about how much you may be on the hook for before you sign up for any particular yacht club. Accidents can happen, even to the most experienced sailors. Make sure that you can afford the mishap in advance.

Is a Yacht Club Membership Right for You?

Understanding what the real cost of a yacht club membership is can be the first step toward determining if this is right for you. Many people love the luxuries available through the more expensive yacht clubs, but they may not be able to afford it. Consider what is most important in a club to you before deciding to sign on the dotted line for an annual membership.
