Royal Yacht Club Oostende

This is Belgium's oldest yacht club, sitting right in the heart of Ostend — the country's biggest and busiest seaside resort. You can arrive at any state of the tide, which is a genuine bonus on this coast, and even deep-draught vessels are welcome. Ashore, you've got 9 km of sandy beach, a lively shopping centre, and a real buzz that sets Ostend apart from quieter harbours along the Belgian coast.
