Royal Solent Yacht Club is a sailing and social club based at The Square in Yarmouth. Its clubhouse occupies a waterfront position overlooking the Solent, with views across the water and towards the evening sunset. The setting gives the club a clear connection with Yarmouth Harbour and the surrounding sailing community.

The club caters for activities both afloat and ashore. On the water, its programme includes sailing, racing, cruising, dinghy sailing, powerboat courses and access to a racing fleet. Dinghy-related activities include laser hire and training, while the club also supports youth and junior sailing. These facilities and activities give the venue a practical role for sailors as well as a social one.

Ashore, the clubhouse provides two bars and several spaces for gatherings. Three function rooms, a lift, balcony, lawn and colonnade support a range of social occasions and private functions. The layout combines indoor areas with outdoor elements, allowing the waterfront setting to remain part of the club experience.

The atmosphere is centred on club life, with organised sailing activities, cruising, racing events and social events forming the main character of the venue. Membership is open to applications from both new and experienced sailors, while people who prefer to remain ashore can take part in the club’s social programme. Reciprocal club arrangements also form part of the wider offering for eligible visitors.

Royal Solent Yacht Club suits sailors, boating groups, members and guests looking for a maritime setting with organised activities and event space. It is also available for private functions, with the clubhouse, grounds and waterfront location providing a backdrop for gatherings in Yarmouth. The club is found at The Square, PO41 0NS.
