Timeline of Restoration: Old Yacht Club, Mumbai

The old yacht club, formerly known as the royal Bombay yacht club, was founded in 1846 in Colaba. It was initially envisioned to be one of the premiere gentlemen’s clubs in the Mumbai area. Today this Mumbai Yacht club acts as the headquarters of the department of atomic energy government of India. It served the Tata institute of fundamental research for a brief period in 1949. John Adams designed the old yacht club. John Adams is credited with designing the Mumbai Gymkhana, Police courts etc. and has a street named after him. 

The club’s location, Close to the coast, offers a splendid overlooking view of the Gateway of India. It lies near some of the architectural wonders of Mumbai city, like the Taj hotel, Maharashtra police headquarters, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, to name a few. The club is known for its sailing facilities on the Arabian sea. Other than that, it houses a library, Club shop, Bar, Lounge, and ballrooms for its exclusive members. The club offers chambers for residence overlooking the Gateway of India, a bar, a lounge, a restaurant , ballrooms, a club shop, a library, a members’ sleeping room, and sailing facilities in the Arabian Sea.

Style and Architecture  | Mumbai Yacht Club

The Royal yacht club was built in indo – gothic style of architecture with Victorian interiors. Gothic style was prevalent in Bombay during the mid- 19th century . The building boasts a rich material palette consisting of Mangalore tiles, Wood, and extensive plaster work. It has intricate glasswork in its openings and features a rich earthy color palette. The stone cladding on the exterior gives the yacht club exquisite air. The Roof style is an amalgamation of sloping roofs and conical pointed roofs at the edges of the building, accentuating the structure. The original interior was Victorian in style and featured intricate woodwork with a smooth plaster finish on the walls. The stained glass adds to the signature gothic look of the old yacht club. Wood’s rich brown tones and creamy white palette give a royal look. The corridors and interiors see the extensive use of pointed arches set against high ceilings, another prominent feature of gothic architecture.

The old yacht club building is an essential milestone in the gothic buildings of Bombay. Under the crown rule during the mid-19th century, Bombay’s Gothic style became prominently used. Some famous examples of Gothic-style buildings in Bombay are, The telegraph office, saint Xavier’s college, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, to name a few. While the earliest of them were designed and commissioned by the Britishers, the mid-1800s saw a rise in the opium and cotton trade, making Indian merchants wealthier. This led to them also commissioning work from British architects as an attempt to mark their presence in Mumbai . This was succeeded by the birth of the Hindu gothic style, which saw elements like chhatris, jails, domes etc. combined with typical gothic features like split facades, multi-colored stained glasses, etchings, and engravings in the façade, pointed arches etc., used in a mixture of Indian and foreign material palette.

Restoration

The restoration of the Old Yacht club was initially done by Ar. Vikas Dilwari in the year 2012. It included efforts to restore the club’s original Victorian interiors and treat its exteriors and common areas. Art deco style was introduced to the flooring, making it lively and cheerful. This was followed by restoration efforts by Somaya and Kalappa architects , a conservation firm based out of Mumbai. They worked on strengthening the original structure. The requirements of the new user, the department of atomic energy government of India, were kept in mind during the restoration. The year 1976 saw about one-third of the structure being demolished due to structural reasons. So R.C.C. interventions had to be done by S.N.K. The restoration efforts received much applause and an award of merit from UNESCO during the 2013 Asia-Pacific Heritage awards. The old yacht club, in all its indo gothic glory, remains a hidden gem in the sea of gothic, Victorian and colonial buildings of Bombay.

History | Mumbai Yacht Club

The old yacht club was constructed in 1846. It was initially presided over by Henry Morland as the club Commodore, responsible for the management and running of the club. It took 30 years for the club to become known as the royal Bombay yacht club, on the recommendation of sir Philip Edmond Wodehouse and the patronage of Queen Victoria. The year 1881 saw the construction of the seafront clubhouse. The prominence of the club rose after that. The royal family of Duke, Duchess of Connaught, and H.R.H. prince Arthur were some of the club’s prominent personalities in its initial years of commencement. The club was initially restricted to Indian members, but flowing a brief closure in 1958 for not accepting Indian members, it started accepting. A clubhouse was added to the existing structure in 1896. The purpose of this clubhouse was to provide accommodations for its members. The new clubhouse was executed in Venetian gothic style with indo Saracenic features.

“Our First time stay at RYBC” Review of Royal Bombay Yacht Club

The check-in could have been more freindly but the staff behind insisted on paying another 25% deposit,when told have already paid 50% & could i pay a little later. The rooms were on the 4th Floor.The Lift was working well but could do a little bit of uplifting in the interiors. The rooms are colonial & large ,but i feel there is a lot of scope for adding more rooms & retain the old world charm but the sitting needs better airconditioning & avoid opening the windows as you may face the wrath of insects/mosquitoes.The road traffic too is pretty

5 - 9 of 38 reviews

Wonderful atmosphere. 70s and 80s music with bubbles. Service excellent. Attentive, fun and professional. Food was spectacular. India meets the ocean. The happy balls are a bucket list item.

The Royal Bombay Yacht Club is a trip into a colonial era long past. The location is excellent and our room had a great view of the Gateway of India. The building is evocative of the RAJ and the rooms- large white washed and airy have cupboards and beds, chairs and tables from the time of the British. The Dining room and bar are olde world, potted palms, white table clothes and comfortable armchairs. Service in the dining room and bar are excellent. The menu has a lot of old favourites including bread and butter pudding ( very good). The snag is you have to be a member or the guest of a member. Breakfast isn't as well served or extensive as Lunch & Dinner. Mrs Bagchi , the Catering Manager is very helpful and ensures dietary requirements are met. There is no parking available and if you have a car and driver you have to park on the main street and pay a fee, There is a toilet for the driver but no other facilities.

Although listed as a restaurant you can also stay at the club as a hotel. The evening dining room is reminiscent of the old Raj with a choice of western or Indian food. Recommended!

The clubs in Mumbai are exclusive to members and their guests only. The food is fairly inexpensive and delicious all have a variety of cuisines I opted for continental and had the fish in wine sauce there is a fixed menu or alacarte both are good. Again a chilled Sula Chenin Blanc with the fish was delicious.. Desserts were heavenly

Sailors Paradise - The Royal Bombay Yacht Club

The Royal Bombay Yacht Club (RBYC) was founded in 1846 in Colaba (formerly Wellington Pier), an area of Mumbai in India , for the lovers of the sea.

The club provides for restaurant and hotel facilities along with sailing events and championships for members and sailors. For all the sailing lovers who want to get on to a sailboat at the Gateway of India in order to enjoy the soft ocean breeze, the sound of waves, unrivalled views of the city skyline, and a magnificent sunset, this is the perfect club for you. However, an inherently exclusive club, membership to the RBYC sometimes takes years for a person to acquire.

Back in 1958, the Bombay Club was closed for not accepting Indian members. The RBYC granted honorary memberships to all Bombay Club members and provided a new home for their furniture and other effects. However, in 2013 the Royal Bombay Yacht Club Residential Chambers received an award of merit in the 2013 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards.

Recently, world-famous filmmaker Christopher Nolan shot the movie Tenet in Mumbai. The shoot locations for Tenet include iconic spots in Mumbai like Breach Candy Hospital, Cafe Mondegar, Colaba Causeway, Colaba Market, Gateway of India, Grant Road , Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and of course, the grand Royal Bombay Yacht Club.

Once you are a member at the RBYC, you can rent a sailboat at a minimal cost, or even free; go sailing as often as you like; and take a few friends each time to have a wonderful experience on the sea.

Sailing Facilities

The sailing activities of the Association are conducted along with The Royal Bombay Yacht Club (RBYC) and the Colaba Sailing Club (CSC) who are our sister clubs. The Joint Sailing Committee is chaired by the RBYC Commodore and comprises of qualified helms and boat owners. The BSA representative sits on this Committee. It is this Committee that mainly guides the sailing activities of the 3 clubs. The racing and cruising activities are mostly initiated at Mumbai from the RBYC premises to which the BSA members have access.

Sailing Program: A comprehensive sailing program is brought out by this Committee at the start of the sailing season in October, it has on offer sailing activities to suit all. Be it racing, training programs, regattas, champsionships, day and weekend cruises, there is something for all appetities.

Racing: Should you be inclined to try your hand at racing,.not a problem, we take stark novices and put them on a boat participating in a race and they soon pick up the ropes (literally). All you need to do is call up Mr. Santosh or Mr. Rajan in the sailing room and tell them to try and book you a berth on a boat that is going racing. Then you land up the Yacht Club at the specified hour, dressed in appropriate gear which is shorts, T shirt, sneakers, cap, sun glasses (optional) and water. There are some races where the BSA is directly involved. These races are from Mumbai to Mandwa and back to Mumbai the next day. It involves racing to Mandwa on Saturday afternoon, staying overnight at the BSA properties where there is catered dinner party and race back Sunday afternoon. Accommodation and meals are provided for as part of the race entry fee and needs to be booked well in advance, as these races are very popular among the regular sailors.

Training program: There are normally two training programs in a sailing season from October to May. The first one is held at the start of the season and the second one in January or February. This program provides on the water hands-on training and some classroom tutorials. Member helmsmen take you out on the water so you have one helm to 2 or 3 students on the boat. Kindly check the Sailing Program Document for dates. It is available on this website. If you want individual attention there are sailors who will take you out and teach you sailing one on one.

Boats: The boats normally used by adults, are Seabird class and Lightning class, which are in a common pool belonging to the 3 clubs. A Seabird carries a complement of 4 crew plus tandal while a Lightning accommodates 3 plus tandal. You can go sailing in any of a total of 14 boats, when a boat of your club is not available. Hence you are mostly assured of getting a boat when you want one. The Seabird is the most stable and safe , especially designed for Bombay Harbour. If you have children who are a bit wary of the sea, a Seabird sail would be ideal.

Just Cruising: Should you wish to follow the dictates of your heart and just go cruising or wish to practice your hand at helming, just book a boat and land up at the specified time at the jetty and ask for the tandal of the boat you have booked. The tandals are all qualified sailors and will ensure the safety of the boat at all times. Until you get your helmsman certificate, remember, the tandal is the captain when you are sea and one has to follow his instructions.

Boat Booking Procedure: Simply stated you could book a boat by calling up the sailing room at the RBYC. You will have to first ask for any one of the 2 BSA Seabirds. In case they are not available you then have an option of booking boats of the other 2 clubs. You can book boats 5 days after 7 pm, prior to the date required, by calling on + 91 22 22882788 - Mr. Rajan / Mr. Santosh or at the RBYC reception +91 2267527250. That means you would need to book on Tuesday, after 7 pm, if you need a boat for the coming Saturday. Since the boats are in a common pool the boat booking procedure needs to be followed.

Residential Facilities

The Clubhouse: The Clubhouse has 5 residential rooms with attached bathrooms. Room 2 is the biggest with two double beds. Rooms 1 and 5 have three beds each and room 3 and 4 are double beds. Limited additional beds/mattresses are available upon request. The Clubhouse grounds provide a panoramic view of the sea, the jetty and life at the moorings. There are sufficient grounds around the clubhouse to wander and find a quiet corner to contemplate or just look at the sea. There are a few hammocks strung around for you to chill on, a barbeque area for you to indulge your culinary skills, as well as a volleyball net, carom board and board games for you to enjoy during your stay. Two Kayaks have been added for members and guests. The Club provides life jackets for your safety and as a mandatory requirement.

The Dormitary (Sleepout): Within the same compound is the sleep out/dormitory, right on the water's edge. During high tide the ocean provides a great lullaby to put you to sleep. Here you book and pay for a bed (Mattress) for the night. A great economy package and you can't beat the view. There are separate dedicated toilets and bathrooms for this facility and use of the Clubhouse with it's fully equipped kitchen with staff.

The Annexes: The club has 7 annexes. These are individual cottages by the sea for those of you who value privacy. Each of these shacks have individual caretakers who can assist you in the kitchen, make beds and keep the property clean.

Windfall: Windfall is the first bungalow on the beach as you approach from the jetty. Windfall has totally 3 bedrooms. 2 bedrooms, with attached bathrooms, at the ground level and one bedroom on the first level with an independent veranda cum sit out. Two bedrooms on the ground floor level are fitted with air conditioners. A spacious kitchen, a ground level sit-out with a dinning area, a compound area with stone benches, an uninterrupted view of the ocean, and loads of trees and shade.

Tucked In: As the name suggests the bungalow is "tucked in" greenery and foliage that surrounds this property. It has two airconditioned rooms with attached bathrooms, a kitchen, dining & sit out, and a green compound area. Tucked in is in between Windfall and Raha.

Raha: Raha stands third in line on the beach and has a fairly large area outside the bungalow which is perfect to barbeque and is used by our young optimist sailors to conduct land drills when not out learning to sail on the water. It has three rooms (2 AC and one Non-AC).

Little Hut: Recently refurbished and modernised, this charming bungalow has two airconditioned bedrooms with attached bathrooms, a kitchen, dining & sit out area that overlooks the moorings.

Battery Park: A classic bungalow on the beach, it has two airconditioned bedrooms with attached bathrooms, a kitchen, dining & sit out with 6 beds to sleep out; accommodating a total of 10 people at a time.

Zopdi: A one bedroom shack with two bathrooms, a kitchen and a veranda with 4 beds. It sleeps a total of 6 people.

Linger Longer: Last in the row of bungalows belonging to BSA, located after the main club house and sleep out/dormitory is a charming property with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a large kitchen and dining area and sit out which is designed to look like the bow of a boat! With 4 beds on the 1st floor and 2 beds in the bedroom on the ground floor, this property also offers 4 beds in the living room, accommodating a total of 10 people at a time.

Booking for rooms/annexes: To book your stay with us at BSA, kindly download and fill the Accommodation Booking Form (click to download) and email it to [email protected] to the kind attention of Ms. Priya Jadhav or Mr. Ganesh Mhatre (contact +91- 2141 237667 or +91-7798440784).

Payment for your stay and use of the facilities will be added to your monthly bill and may be made online or settled directly using a credit or debit card while in Mandwa.

Food: The drill is to carry your cooked food or carry the ingredients and use the kitchen to cook it. Surekha at the club and Babi's (the Zopdi caretaker) wife, could be requested to cook for you. However, this is not in their job description and they are not obligated to do this especially when they have other pressing duties. The club store has some basic ingredients like dal, rice, tea, coffee, oil, tooth brush and paste, soap etc. The caretakers could be requested to get fresh milk, eggs, bread, vegetables on cash basis from the nearby village provided sufficient notice is given to them.

Catering: If organizing to carry food is a problem there are other options. There is tried and tested resort nearby called Countryside. They serve your typical home type cooked Maharastrian food. You could call them at 02141 237123 (Ms. Anju) and ask them to deliver. They send delicious food packed in tiffens. They need about 3 to 4 hours advance notice. Sanman at Alibag is another favourite for the seafood lovers. You can reach them at 02141 222314. Due to the distance the delivery charges are a bit heavy. But the prawns masala and the shells masala are to die for. Ask them for their full menu.

Enjoy your stay at the club!!

Welcome to Mumbai Sailing Club – The Imperial Yacht Club of Mumbai

Mumbai Sailing Club is the imperial yacht club of Mumbai, located at Gateway of India, Colaba in Mumbai (originally known as Bombay). Sailing was introduced to Mumbai in the early years of the 1800 century by the British. The first sailing race was conducted on 6th February 1830 in Bombay (now Mumbai) and by the time the British left India, there were five yacht clubs in India.

Mumbai Sailing Club has been at the forefront to promote the sport of sailing in Mumbai, and today, it is the only club in Mumbai to provide a complete range of facilities for sailing and other water sports activities.

The club conducts training programs for its new members, where adults and kids above 15 years of age can learn sailing. For kids under 15 years, sailing sessions and camps are conducted on weekends and holidays.

While our club members get exclusive training benefits and sailing facilities, we have ensured that non- members get to experience boating to the fullest with our variety of courses in sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and power boating.
