Royal London Yacht Club
Facilities

During weekends, a launch service is provided for Members and Royal Thames members. The Club also has a limited number of short term and permanent moorings. Four pontoon moorings lie on the Medina River adjacent to the Whitegates Yard. Royal London berths occupy the up-river end of a long pontoon that is also used by the RYS and RTYC. The outer face of the pontoon may also be used without cost by members wearing the Club burgee in this case for periods of up to 14 days. Longer periods, for which a fee is charged, may be negotiated with the Secretary. A fee is also charged for the inner berths, on a season or for shorter periods. We have exclusive use of the Northern inner section of the Trinity Landing in front of the Club. This is on a first come, first served basis with a maximum stay of 24 hours. The Club burgee must be worn.

The General Committee reviews mooring fees annually. Special arrangements apply to Cowes Week period - a ballot is arranged. The Clubhouse provides showers, limited drying space and lockers.

Club accommodation is spread over four floors. The ground floor includes the Lower Bar and the Dining Room. The Drawing Room occupies the front of the first floor and includes the balcony with perhaps the best view in Cowes. The first floor also contains main toilet facilities, showers and a drying room. A corridor, used as a Photographic Gallery, connects the London Room, the external Quarter Deck and an enclosed lawn. The first floor also provides access to the Secretary’s Office. Seven twin bedrooms and two single rooms, together with associated bathroom and toilet facilities, are situated on the third and fourth floors.

The Club launch, call sign ‘London Launch’ on Channel 37, operates at weekends throughout the season and at other times as required.
