THE NATIONAL YACHT CLUB
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.
Explore the rest of our website to find out more about our sailing programme, club history, events calendar, and how you can become part of this active, friendly club.
Fair winds and we look forward to welcoming you on board.
