Royal London Yacht Club
Launch Service

The Club launch will operate from the Club steps or the Trinity Landing from the weekends (and Bank holidays) from the Fitting Out Dinner to the Laying Up Dinner during the times printed below; and every day, on a separate timetable, during Cowes Week.

Saturdays

09:00 - 19:00

Sundays

09:30 - 17:00

Bank Holidays

09:00 - 17:00


Members with needs outside these hours are recommended to use the Cowes Harbour Water Taxi Services listed below.  Should a Member wish to use our own launch, early discussion with the Secretary is necessary to identify timings and payment.

Members requiring the launch service should call on CHANNEL 37 call sign ‘LONDON LAUNCH’ or call the coxswain on his mobile phone  07751 074 030.

The launch will remain in the outer harbour and not be available for trips upriver prior to the start of the Solent Classes (Saturday 1200 – 1300, Sundays and Bank Holidays 1100 – 1200) and when they finish (approx 2½ to 3 hours later).  This is to take crews to, and collect them from, their boats.  On RLYC Regatta days the Race Committee has priority use of the launch.

The launch is maintained in ‘ready use’ order with full tanks and is equipped with essential safety equipment.  The launch has a permanent alongside berth on the Club pontoon and is available at all states of the tide.
