Royal Yacht Squadron in England

The rich and famous are not merely looking for the best place to anchor their yachts; they are also seeking out exclusive memberships in stunning destinations, all offering luxury amenities and, of course, bragging rights. These exclusive yachting clubs with often outrageous initiation fees, provide luxurious clubhouses, and provide accommodations for yachties who want to get their land legs. Most of them provide high-end concierge service to its members as well as Michelin-star quality restaurants and more.

Yacht Clubs have been recognized in the Platinum Clubs of America elections for more than 20 years. According to the Platinum Club, “Recognition in the following categories is important in the selection of Platinum status; Tradition, history, and heritage, a respected membership, excellence in amenities, exceptional service, adapting to changing times, and overall experience.

I spoke with the President of Club Leaders Forum, David V. Smith, about the selection, and he says, “we created an alphabetical selection this time as opposed to by rank because we felt that it was challenging to compare a yacht club in Ireland with a yacht club in Singapore, as amenities, location and facilities do vary quite a lot. The yachting and boating world is a different and unique culture, typically a little more relaxed and not as formal as country clubs and golf clubs. However, many of the world’s finest yacht clubs have wonderful history and traditions, with a great sense of camaraderie among their members. Certain yacht clubs were selected by the Panel not necessarily for their facilities and amenities but in their recognition of hosting world class sailing regattas and events.”  

Here are the top 50 most exclusive yacht clubs worldwide being awarded the ultimate Platinum Status for 2021.

Annapolis Yacht Club

Surrounding the Spa Creek Bridge in Annapolis, the Club boasts over 75 wet slips and dry dockage. The club began in 1886 as an informal canoe club, and today has 1600 regular members active in social, racing, and cruising programs.

Later that century, during the Cromwellian years, King Charles II of England was in exile in the Netherlands and while there he became aware of this new and exciting pastime. According to Royal Cork Yacht Club, “By 1720, interest in the sport had progressed so much that his great-grandson, the 26 year old William O’Brien, the 9th Lord Inchiquin, and five of his friends got together to formalize their activities and in so doing established ” The Water Club of the Harbour of Cork.”

We had a party here for my in-laws 40th anniversary. It is a beautiful place in a great location, with that grandness you would expect from a yacht club. They set us up in a separate room and there was a set menu. The meal started with some butternut squash soup. This was very nice. It was followed up with a Caesars salad that was just OK. The main course was salmon with veggies and rice. The salmon was overcooked, but this happens often in groups. My favorite part was the dessert, pecan pie with ice cream. Worth visiting.

*This is a review of the yacht club as a wedding locale only* What better place to feel like a princess for a day than someplace with "Royal" in the title. Oh wait, have some random kid come up to you before you walk down the aisle and tell you that you look like a princess might help too. Hubby and I were lucky enough to get married here going on a few years ago, but I've always wanted to yelp about how special this place was and made for an absolutely perfect day. I know, cliche right? But believe it or not, I'm not one of those people who dreamt about a wedding day and I didn't want to get overly involved with the details. I was the anti-Bridezilla. The person in charge of events at RVYC took care of a lot of the details since I was planning my wedding from California. I've heard about some wedding locations that have a lot of rules (no personal flowers or decorations, etc.) but the people at RVYC were very accommodating. We ended up getting married on the lawn behind the club which is perfect for a small to medium size wedding. We had to rent the chairs ourselves but that was relatively pain free. My bridesmaids and family also decorated the dining room themselves. They have several preset menus to choose from. We ended up doing a midday wedding and had a great assortment of hot and cold dishes. For a yacht club the prices were not ridiculous and at the time we actually thought it was pretty reasonable. The food was all five star. The desserts were absolutely incredible. They are also able to accommodate canapes and beverage service. No matter what the weather wants to do, the huge windows in the dining area provide a gorgeous view of the water, which is perfect for a place where it can potentially rain just about every day of the year. I come from a sailing family so I was lucky enough to be able to have a wedding here. At the time (I don't know what the rules are now) you had to be a member or closely associated to one. If you can snag it, I say by all means look at having your wedding at this yacht club.

Is a beautiful day watching this 6-meter world's from the upper deck at the rvyc The sashimi was very good tuna and salmon served very nicely and they had a really nice bison burger with melted cheese that was really nicely done as a special today Wonderful location It is not open to the public. A private club

We attended a 50th birthday party at the RVYC this past weekend. We were impressed with the view, the service and the food. It was a fantastic venue and everyone one that attended had an amazing time! We also had a family dinner here a couple years ago with our children (7 & 2) and the lower level restaurant was also lovely, tasty food and very family friendly.

Came here for our work Christmas dinner party. Beautiful venue with view of the water. Nicely decorated in and out, not over done. The buffet dinner was fabulous! Good selection of seafood and the carvery had prime rib and turkey with all the fixings. The dessert table was just as long as the dinner buffet. Every dessert imaginable was available. Servers were attentive. Wonderful atmosphere.

Out of all the yacht clubs I've been to, this is definitely top 3. The clubhouse is beautiful, the location unbeatable, great service, good food, and a vibrant sailing community to mingle with. To dine here or use the club facilities, one must have a membership to the club or at a reciprocating club, so many simply can't go, but there is a way - start sailing! The Club maintains the most visited directory of sailors looking to crew for racing. Learn to sail a bit, sign up on the crew bank. Someone from the club will likely contact you asking you to crew on the recreational Wednesday night races, after which there is always a social gathering at the bar/restaurant for the sailors. If you sail on a member's boat, you'll likely be invited into the club for a drink or dinner. So, start sailing! Of course, if you like, you can always apply for membership, and knowing how to sail and having a sponsor for the club racing community won't hurt ;)

Clubhouse from the docks

Great food, great people, great view! A club worth joining if you are a boater of any type.

The view alone is worth five stars!!! We had the sushi and sashimi the toro was amazing!!! The tuna tartar also amazing. If you know a member get them to take you. If the wind is down you may even get to paddle board!

I've been attending the Christmas buffet with my family, and coming here for special occasions since I was a baby. The food has always been great and the Club itself is gigantic and beautiful. I love the giant wooden spiral staircase. On sunny days you get an amazing view of all the boats, the ocean, and the mountains in the distance. The staff have always been warm, friendly, and attentive. The buffet this year was as great as expected. Although I felt slightly limited because I am a vegetarian and none of the hot dishes had labels, so I avoided anything that wasn't obviously a potato or something. The dessert buffet was to DIE for. I'm so glad I left room.. I piled my dessert plate high and headed back to the table. The chocolate cream pie was amazing, the cheesecake was creamy and wonderful.. one of the best I've ever had, and the eggnog creme brulee was incredible. I've been talking about it for days to anyone who will listen. The Christmas dinner buffet does have a dress code of "informal festive". Basically no jeans or athletic shoes. I was disappointed to see a few attendees ignore this. You are also not permitted to use your cellphone inside.

I must say, in the interest of full disclosure that I am not generally a fan of clubs unless they are professional ones. I have been to yacht clubs like this one where guests treated the staff as if they worked exclusively to satisfy their needs (demands?). From my experience here as a guest I have been impressed with the down-to-earth, caring staff and members who didn't seem to be there merely in order to be seen. The food at lunch is tasty. The club sandwich was so big that half each was more than enough. I really liked the random, home made look of the turkey instead of that bleached-white chicken or turkey in razor thin slices that is often used. The lobster bisque was tasty with juicy, not mushy pieces of seafood. The dessert choices could be more creative but that's a minor quibble. If you are lucky enough to be here on a clear day, the view is fantastic and it's a great place to dream. And maybe drink Moet et Chandon as the people sitting next to us were.

Top private clubs in vancouver, gentlemen at the vancouver club.

Private clubs were first formed in the 18th century in London for aristocratic gentlemen as a place where they could relax, do business, or mingle with their friends. As Britain’s middle classes became richer, they wanted their own clubs. These days, many private clubs are cosmopolitan affairs, counting women members and seeking creative professionals for an edgy atmosphere. Canadian private clubs also have a long history, with a few longstanding clubs with wide-ranging membership criteria. Here’s our pick of private clubs in Vancouver.

The Vancouver Club

915 west hastings street established in 1889.

The oldest club in our vibrant city, full of old-world charm and looking to the future at the same time, The Vancouver Club can be found in a heritage building that’s a fine piece of real estate. It was the old gentlemen’s club at first, but it changed in the 1990s when it allowed women to become full members. Members are people from industries of every stripe, from diverse local companies and young creative organizations to global ventures.

This club is the best place to dine, play, relax, and connect with other professionals who are the creative energy of the West Coast. You may fully enjoy your adult world, as kids are not allowed , except Friday nights in the Grill, or on special occasions like Christmas or Easter and the annual Princess Ball (where you can make your little girl’s dream come true). The Vancouver club boasts its own in-house barbershop , wine- and spirit-tasting rooms, fine cuisine led by the expert passion of executive chef Sean Cousins , Bar III — the perfect place to play poker or have a cocktail, and the $2 million wine cellar (the club is one of the largest wine buyers in BC) that can no doubt satisfy everyone.

Dessert Table at The Vancouver Club

Of course, there are rules that need to be followed. Unless you have a private room for a business meeting, you cannot have your papers on your table. Always keep the dress code in mind; business casual is the minimum, so no denim or sportswear. Women are allowed to wear pants (but dresses are preferred), while men have to wear a jacket (or blazer) in the Georgian Room . Leave your cell at home, but if you are too attached to this piece of technology, keep in mind that cellphone use is banned outside of the special phone booths. If you think this is exactly what you’re looking for and that you’ll fit right in, you will require a proposer, a seconder, and three references.

Barber Shop at Vancouver Club

Other Perks: Men’s Black Tie Lobster dinner, a port and chocolate tasting, live jazz in Bar 3, father and sons dinner

Fees: Entrance starts at $68 a month for three years and monthly dues start at $104 , details available online

Terminal City Club

837 west hastings street established in 1892.

Terminal City Club has always played an important role in the city, with its members making significant contributions to the business and political activity of the City of Vancouver and the Province of British Columbia. Much like the Vancouver Club, this club is also a mix of history and modernism, and everything here screams luxury. It’s a favourite place for Vancouver’s finance sector.

Reading Room at Terminal City Club

This club is rather expensive, but it is for rich people who have money to burn, right? The pretty steep coin gains access the to club’s facilities: two restaurants, a fitness centre, a lounge, The Lions pub (a gorgeous piece of Gastown history), a snooker room (everything here is so British), a reading room downstairs with beautiful oak desks and armchairs, and the cherry on top, a 25-metre ozonated (chlorine-free), glass-encased pool with views of the North Shore Mountain Range.

Terminal City Club has a strict dress code as well: business attire is a must, and you are not allowed to use your cellphone. Play it cool and go back to the good old days by using a small telephone booth to make your calls. Kids are allowed , and for some this might be a downside. Membership is obtained through the acquisition of a common share, and all applicants are presented to the Board of Directors for approval and are then put forward to the membership for balloting.

Swimming Pool at Terminal City Club

Tip: Book a night at Terminal City’s boutique hotel (so what if you don’t live far away?), which has 143 excellent/very good reviews out of 159, and get a guest entry to the club.

Other Perks: the 1892 Restaurant with incredibly flavourful cuisine and an award-winning wine list, over 160 reciprocal arrangements with clubs worldwide

Fees: Initiation fee starts at $8,849 with $246.50 in monthly dues for people over 45

Hollyburn Country Club

950 cross creek road, west vancouver established in 1963.

This Hamptons-style club situated mountainside on 42 acres of West Vancouver’s renowned British Properties is probably the best fitness club in B.C. and a key to a better and healthier life. Besides sports, this is also a private hub for dining, entertaining, socializing, and business. The Hollyburn Country Club caters to the modern family and its demanding lifestyle, offering swimming pools, twenty-five tennis courts, seven squash courts, three ice rinks, fitness facilities, a wellness centre, and many lessons to choose from: badminton, hockey, karate, figure skating, curling, cycling, and more.

It’s a great place to take your kids, and if they’re not crazy for sports, put them in the homework room, where they are taken care of, and as a reward for good grades at school, you can arrange a birthday party here for them. The food is great, and the view of the city is stunning — you can choose to eat on the outdoor deck, taking in the Burrard Inlet and Mount Baker.

Fitness at Hollyburn Country Club

Other Perks: 90 affiliated clubs worldwide and spring and summer camps for kids (so you can have a break and enjoy the facilities yourself)

Fees: $45,000 for a lifetime family membership (plus applicable taxes) and monthly dues starting at $277

The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club

3811 point grey road (the main clubhouse) established in 1903.

Different from the other listed clubs (but worth mentioning), The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club is based on the principles of tradition, volunteerism, and a love of yachting. It has much to offer everyone who’s into yachts and sailing (and more). Without doubt, this is also one of the best kept secrets in Vancouver for fine dining and they have an excellent wine selection. The Club has nine yachting facilities, including two Vancouver marinas (the Jericho Clubhouse accommodates a wide range of club and private functions and Coal Harbour Marina & Restaurant provides simple breakfast and lunch in a relaxed atmosphere) and seven offshore stations. Another bonus is The Nautical Library , where members can enjoy books by yachters for yachters, the RVYC community for women, and the many yacht programs and events.

Yachts at Vancouver Harbour

There is not much public information about this club to find, and we were told by Melissa Seraglio , club liaison, that

because the Club is of a private nature, we unfortunately will not be able to provide you with the information you are looking for.

Fancy a ride?

A prospective member must be proposed and seconded by Active, Honorary Life, or Special club members. The proposer vouches for the character and suitability of the applicant. The process takes about three months and has several stages.

Tip: A nice place to hold a wedding

The windy Russian autumn weather might be a little bit tricky for sailing, but it doesn’t stop brave yachtsmen from all over the world from flocking to Russian capital in the beginning of September when the Moscow Yacht Show commences. The main Russian Yacht exhibition gathers professional and amateur yacht lovers together under the wing of The Royal Yacht Club.

This year it took place for a fourth time already. The exhibition is considered the principal event on the sporting and social calendar. The Moscow Yacht Show 2010 united in one area three of the largest Russian yachts distributors: Ultramarine, Nordmarine and Premium Yachts.

A wide range of yachts were on display for a week. An exhibition showcased yachts both from Russian manufacturers and world famous brands: Azimut, Princess, Ferretti, Pershing, Riviera, Doral, Linssen, etc.

It was a real feast for seafarers as visitors of the show had a unique chance not only to take a look at the newest superyachts before they hit the market, but also to evaluate their driving advantages during the test drive. The show provided an excellent opportunity for yacht enthusiasts to choose and buy a new boat for the next season.

The event started with the grandiose gala evening. It included grand dinner, the concert and professional awards ceremony for achievements in Russian yachting industry. The guests also enjoyed the annual regatta.

Special guest Paolo Vitelli, Azimut Benetti Group president, opened the evening.

Next year organizers assured guests they would bring more yachts, the scale of which will even make oligarch Roman Abramovich envious. Sounds very promising indeed.
