The cost of an annual yacht club membership can vary widely depending on several factors, such as the location of the club, the amenities offered, the exclusivity of the membership, and the size of the yacht being accommodated. We’ve compiled a set of guidelines below to help you estimate what you can expect to pay for an annual yacht club membership.

Local or Less Exclusive Yacht Clubs

These clubs might offer basic amenities such as docking facilities, a clubhouse, and some social events. Annual fees can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Membership fees could be as low as $500 to $2,000 per year.

Mid-Range Yacht Clubs:

These clubs may offer more extensive amenities, including high-quality dining facilities, repair and maintenance services, fitness centers, and a busy calendar of social and boating activities. Annual fees for these clubs can range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more.

Prestigious or Exclusive Yacht Clubs

The most exclusive yacht clubs, often located in prime locations with extensive facilities and services, can have annual membership fees that are significantly higher. These can range from $10,000 to $30,000 or more per year, with some of the most elite clubs costing even more. Additionally, these clubs might have initiation fees that can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It’s also important to note that many yacht clubs have additional costs beyond the annual membership dues. These can include initiation fees for new members, monthly minimum spending requirements at the club’s facilities, and additional fees for docking, storage, and maintenance services.

Additional Considerations

Some yacht clubs require yacht ownership as a prerequisite before being accepted into the club. Hence, while the yacht club membership itself might only be between $500 and $2,000, the true price of a yacht club membership might be tied to the cost of ownership of your yacht as well.

Bottom Line: Simply Ask If Interested

If you’re interested in joining a yacht club, make a list of yacht clubs that you might be interested in joining, and reach out to them via email or phone to get the most accurate and up-to-date information. Most yacht club members are quite friendly and are willing to help those who are interested in joining.

We wish you good luck in your yacht club search, and hope that you were able to find this article helpful.

From April to November, residents and visitors to Howth can still marvel at the original five Howth 17’s boats that came to the harbour in the spring of 1898, which keep fiercely racing against the other boats of this historic class that have been built since. Howth Yacht Club has a 250 berth marina and 60 swinging moorings. Marina berths are a great base for visiting boats, and cruising sailors are always welcome to enjoy some shore time at the club’s lively bar and elegant restaurant.

The club organises and runs many sailing events and courses for members and visitors throughout the year and have very active keelboat and dinghy racing fleets.

Howth’s scenery, cliff side walking trails, wide variety of sea birds and mammals, and the overall well preserved natural environment contribute to the club’s unique atmosphere.

Howth Yacht Club

Located on the east coast of Ireland behind the north arm of Dublin Bay, Howth Yacht Club was originally founded as Howth Sailing Club in 1895. The club later combined with Howth Motor Yacht Club to form Howth Yacht Club. The current modern clubhouse, completed in 1987, overlooks the scenic cliffs of Howth Head and the island bird sanctuary of Ireland Eye. With over 2,000 members, Howth Yacht Club is one of the largest sailing clubs in Ireland or the UK, boasting a prestigious membership that includes the President and Taoiseach of Ireland, internationally recognised sailors, and members of the Diplomatic Corps.

The clubhouse facilities include changing rooms, a bar, lounge, rooms, and a dining room, providing a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for members and visitors. Howth Yacht Club organises and runs a variety of sailing events and courses throughout the year, with active keelboat and dinghy racing fleets. The club is also renowned for being a world-class international sailing venue, hosting high-level competitions such as World, European, National, and Regional championships as part of its busy annual sailing schedule.

One of the unique features of Howth Yacht Club is its association with the world's oldest one-design racing keelboat class, the 'Howth Seventeen Footer'. Designed by Walter Herbert Boyd in 1897, these gaff-rigged topsail boats have been raced in the local waters since their introduction in 1898. The club's 250-berth marina in front of the clubhouse, along with 60 swinging moorings in the harbour area, cater to keelboats without engines, providing a picturesque and convenient setting for maritime enthusiasts.

With a rich history, vibrant sailing community, and a commitment to excellence in all its activities, Howth Yacht Club is a prestigious and sought-after destination for sailing enthusiasts in Dublin and beyond.
