The National yacht club welcomes you

Welcome to the official website of the National Yacht Club — a home for sailors, families, and enthusiasts alike on the beautiful shores of Dublin Bay.

Our Story

Located at the historic East Pier in Dún Laoghaire, our club has enjoyed a rich maritime tradition and community atmosphere for well over a century. We pride ourselves on blending serious sailing — dinghy racing, offshore adventures, keelboats — with the warmth of a welcoming social club.

What We Offer

• Superb sailing facilities: slipway directly from the clubhouse into the harbour, over eighty club moorings, platform parking, pontoons, fuelling, water, crane-lifting — all the essentials for modern boating.
• A full calendar of events year-round: competitive racing on Dublin Bay and beyond, cruising opportunities, training for all levels, and a lively social side with quiz nights, wine dinners, and more.
• A sense of community: we value a family ethos, support, and fellowship, whether you’re a lifelong sailor or just discovering the sport.

Join Us

If you’re intrigued by life by the water — sailing, socialising, or simply enjoying the spectacular outlook over Dublin Bay — we’d love to hear from you.

Membership offers full use of club facilities, from the vibrant activity on the water to the welcoming clubhouse by the pier.
