Royal Southampton Yacht Club
One of the oldest yacht clubs in the UK, Royal Southampton Yacht Club earned its Royal Charter back in 1875 and sits in a truly special spot on the Beaulieu River in the New Forest. The setting is hard to beat — tucked along a peaceful, wooded estuary that feels a world away from the bustle of Southampton Water. Bear in mind this is a private members' club rather than a full marina, so berths for non-members are limited and facilities are modest — worth checking ahead before you plan your stop.
