The World’s Most Beautiful Yacht Clubs

These waterfront landmarks define classic maritime style—and attract some of the most magnificent ships at sea.

The glamour of these yacht clubs is matched only by their intriguing histories. From Sardinia to Singapore, Newport to the Bahamas, these high-style sailing outposts carry on the traditions of their founders (with the oldest dating back to the mid-19th century). Not a member? Here's a peek at the super exclusive spots.

New York Yacht Club

It’s been 175 years since John Cox Stevens invited eight friends aboard his schooner Gimcrack, anchored off Lower Manhattan, to propose the creation of the New York Yacht Club . The newly formed society ran its first regatta in 1845, and at the turn of the century, a Beaux-Arts-style mansion was built on land donated by then-Commodore J. Pierpont Morgan and designed by Whitney Warren and Charles D. Wetmore (who went on to create Grand Central Station). Today, its cavernous Model Room (pictured) displays more than 1,000 models of members’ boats and America’s Cup vessels.

New York Yacht Club—Harbour Court

The New York Yacht Club acquired Harbour Court in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1987. The grand, Norman-style mansion was built in 1906 and sits on eight acres overlooking Brenton's Cove. The connection between the New York Yacht Club and Newport dates back to the club's founding in the mid-1800s, when the NYYC founders sailed from the Battery to Newport on their inaugural summer cruise.

Royal Yacht Squadron

Black tie and boat shoes are de rigueur for the happy few who crack the ranks of the ultra-exclusive, 200-year-old Royal Yacht Squadron , headquartered in a 16th-century castle in England's Isle of Wight. Today, it’s best known as the heart of the legendary Cowes Week regatta , when thousands of sailors and revelers alike gather to await the firing of the club’s brass cannons.

Detroit Yacht Club

In its heyday, Dodges and Fords were among the tony patrons of this 1920s Mediterranean Revival building. They danced in the grand timbered ballroom and did laps in the indoor pool, which was lined with iridescent, Detroit-made Pewabic Pottery tiles. But as the fortunes of the city declined, so, too, did membership and maintenance at the Detroit Yacht Club . But a turnaround began in 2011, returning much of the building’s original grandeur, as well as a younger, more diverse membership, many of whom live in what is now an equally resurgent downtown Detroit.

Yacht Club Costa Smeralda

American architect Peter Marino redesigned this glamorous Italian outpost in the early 2000s, turning it into a deeply seductive hub in keeping with the yachts that fill the marina every summer. But at Yacht Club Costa Smeralda , it’s not all Cristal and caviar. In 2017, alarmed by the ubiquity of pollutants in local waters, club leaders launched a strict code of conduct for eliminating single-use plastics and reducing energy consumption.

Republic of Singapore Yacht Club

Winner of a Singapore Institute of Architects Architectural Design Award for its modern incarnation (a former clubhouse was lost to a massive container terminal), Asia’s oldest yacht club is replete with cultural pride of place. Republic of Singapore Yacht Club is now marked by a soaring, serrated roofline that pays homage to the traditional buildings of the Minangkabau, an Indonesian ethnic group.

Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club

This 58-acre Jacksonville, Florida, estate was built in 1926 by chemicals pioneer Alfred I. duPont and his wife, Jessie Ball duPont. Located on the widest point of the St. John’s River and shaded by grand oak trees, the mansion was built as a sprawling home base for duPont’s favorite pastime, yachting (on his beloved Nenemoosha ), and quickly became an illustrious meeting place for fellow industrial giants and heads of state of the day, including the Vanderbilts, Carnegies, and the Goulds. The building blends Gothic and Baroque architectural elements with a sprawling Spanish Renaissance form. Today, the romantic mansion has been completely restored and serves as home to the Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club .

Lyford Cay Club

Slim Aarons photographed the Lyford Cay Club in 1975, and the uber-exclusive Bahamian landmark hasn't lost an ounce of its allure since. Past the 74-slip yacht harbor and white-sand beaches is an impeccably decorated clubhouse famously overhauled in the early 2000s by Tom Scheerer. The nearly 20-foot tall painted palms in the drawing room (seen at left) have become iconic symbols of the billionaires' outpost. For more photos, check out this story published by Town & Country .

Yacht Club de Monaco

This French Riviera hotspot is as much a maritime playground as it is a proper yacht club. Reimagined by architects Foster + Partners in 2014, Yacht Club de Monaco is designed to resemble a ship, with "decks" offering expansive views of the Mediterranean and the Grand Prix race track. Founded in 1953 by Prince Rainier III of Monaco, it is now presided over by Prince Albert.

This Brand-new Ship Has One of the Largest Yacht Clubs in Its Fleet, Endless Adventure, and a Glass-bottomed Bridge

MSC Seascape just set sail — here's what it's like on board.

Christine Burroni

The MSC Seascape may share many similar — or even identical — features with its predecessors, but when it comes to luxury, the fleet’s newest vessel certainly leveled up. The new ship sailed on its inaugural journey with guests from Rome to New York City this past weekend and will go on to sail out of Miami to the Caribbean for future trips.

While the European cruise line has become known for its luxury ship-within-a-ship concept, called Yacht Club , the Seascape boasts one of its largest clubs with 131 suites — with five categories to choose from — taking up 32,000 square feet. Located at the front of the ship, most exclusive Yacht Club spaces, like the private dining area or pool deck, are afforded sweeping ocean views.

In addition to a private restaurant with a regularly changing menu, and both indoor and outdoor lounge space, passengers who make a Yacht Club reservation are treated to expedited embarkation, 24-hour butler and concierge service, and access to the spa’s Thermal Suite where a sauna, steam room, and whirlpool awaits. Members will also have access to the ship's Top Sail Lounge for coffee, tea, and light bites at any time of day.

Yacht Club guests also enjoy the ship's premium drink package, an unpacking or packing service, a morning newspaper delivery of their choice, and the ability to select a specific pillow for customized comfort.

Sailing the blue water of the Caribbean while tucked in a super-exclusive setting may seem exceptionally relaxing, but the MSC Seascape also offers just the opposite for those looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush — with an extreme thrill ride and virtual reality experiences.

Adrenaline junkies can take a ride on the ship's Robotron , an attraction unique to the ship that will bring riders nearly 175 feet above water and flip upside down, moving in all directions to offer unobstructed 360-degree views. 

Those looking to keep their feet on the ground can still get their adventure fix with a walk across the Bridge of Sighs, a 72-foot-high glass-bottomed bridge.

The MSC Seascape is also home to a variety of virtual reality experiences. Riders can choose from Formula 1 racing, a flight simulator, and motorcycle riding.

“ MSC Seascape is an exciting addition to our fleet of Seaside Class ships with its elevated onboard experiences that will surprise and delight all ages," Ruben Rodriguez, President, MSC Cruises USA exclusively told Travel + Leisure. " From one of the largest and most luxurious Yacht Clubs in our fleet to interactive, high-tech experiences like the first Robotron at sea and immersive VR experiences, MSC Seascape brings unparalleled entertainment and thrills to our guests.”

Elsewhere on board, the ship’s interior is very similar to that of MSC’s other vessels, like the line's one-year-old MSC Seashore, including its Times Square–inspired décor, Swarovski crystal–adorned staircases, and Atrium space where live entertainment takes place.

Fans of the ship's fleet will also recognize its signature restaurants including Butcher's Cut steakhouse, Ocean Cay seafood restaurant, and more. Its lively sports bar is the perfect spot to catch any game around the world — and there are 18 other bars and lounges on board, some of which offer live music.

MSC Seascape journeys set sail from Miami to the Caribbean where passengers can visit the company's private Bahamas island, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.

MSC Divina Yacht Club

The MSC Yacht Club on the MSC Divina is much like the one on the other MSC cruise ships in the Fantasia class like the MSC Splendida . It's an exclusive "ship within a ship" sanctuary, with suite accommodations, Concierge reception area, lounge, pool and bar area, plus a private restaurant and private access to the MSC Aurea Spa.

Those staying in the MSC Yacht Club can enjoy complimentary wines, spirits, and gourmet snacks in the Concierge lounge, along with Butler service in their staterooms or suites. The spectacular views of the sea from this Deck 15 Lounge also make the Yacht Club a guest favorite.

The MSC Cruises' ships with Yacht Clubs include MSC Divina, MSC Fantasia, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Preziosa, MSC Seaside, MSC Seaview, MSC Bellissima, and MSC Splendida.

Top Sail Lounge

TripSavvy / Linda Garrison

The Top Sail Lounge in the MSC Divina Yacht Club is a quiet place to have a drink, enjoy a snack, or just appreciated the exceptional views of the sea. It is an exclusive area for those staying in the Yacht Club staterooms and suites.

Snacks in the Top Sail Lounge

Those staying in the MSC Yacht Club can enjoy nightly canapes and other snacks along with a complimentary drink in the Top Sail Lounge.

Light Bites in the Top Sail Lounge

Guests staying in the MSC Yacht Club can enjoy light bites in the Top Sail Lounge, but they also have access to a dedicated restaurant for dinner. The menus in this special restaurant are exciting and sophisticated, and unlimited drinks are included with each meal. On the MSC Divina, the dedicated Yacht Club restaurant is named La Muse, and it is located aft on deck 15.

Sophia Loren Suite Sitting Room

The Sophia Loren Suite on the MSC Divina is one of two Royal Suites on the large ship . The suite was designed by Sophia Loren and has a separate sleeping area. The decor is mostly red, and the walls are covered with photos from her movie career. The suite has a separate bedroom and measures 390 square feet with a 172 square foot balcony.

Photos of Ms. Loren in some of her famous movie roles adorn the walls of the suite, and occupants can sit at a replica of her dressing table to apply makeup and style their hair. However, sitting at this dressing table probably won't make you look like Sophia Loren, but might give you an extra boost of confidence.

Sophia Loren Suite Bedroom

Doesn't this bed look like it was designed for a famous movie star like Sophia Loren? The red certainly looks like it is fit for a diva.

Deluxe Suite Category YC1

Those staying in one of the 62 MSC Yacht Club suites on the MSC Divina can enjoy all the yacht club amenities, including 24-hour butler service. These suites measure 234-283 square feet, plus a 61 square foot balcony. They aren't as spacious or distinctive as the Sophia Loren Suite but are very nice (and less expensive).

Wheelchair Accessible Deluxe Suite

The MSC Divina has two wheelchair accessible deluxe suites in the exclusive MSC Yacht Club area. They measure 356 square feet and have a 39 square foot balcony.

Le Muse Private Restaurant

Le Muse is the private restaurant for those staying in the MSC Divina Yacht Club. This restaurant is located aft on deck 15 and features fine food and panoramic views of the sea.

A summary of the special features in the MSC Yacht Club include:

• Unlimited drinks in all bars and restaurants of the ship
• MSC Yacht Club Le Muse restaurant with all-inclusive dining at flexible times
• Priority check-in and check-out in a dedicated area of the terminal
• Exclusive Top Sail Lounge offering finger foods, desserts, afternoon and midnight snacks
• Private MSC Yacht Club swimming pool and bar
• Suites with Egyptian cotton linens
• Dorelan pillow menu
• 24-hour butler and concierge service
