To enjoy all of the perks of yacht club membership, most members will own some sort of watercraft. At a minimum, members are typically expected to have some sailing or boating experience, especially at clubs where yachts can be rented for use by members. Areas where non-members are allowed during specific times are a restaurant, or certain amenities like a boat launch or swimming area.
Joining the Royal Norfolk & Suffolk Yacht Club is about far more than just sailing;- it’s about becoming part of a welcoming, vibrant community with a rich heritage on the East Coast.
