Erith Yacht Club

The finest sailing water on the tidal Thames

Welcome to Erith Yacht Club - the Premier Sailing Location on the Tidal River Thames. Visitors are always welcome to the club. Wednesday lunchtimes, Thursday evenings and Sundays are when club members are on hand and the bar is open! If you wish to visit the club at any other time you are welcome to contact the club using the contact details above.

Our aims are simple: to provide an affordable sailing venue to all ages and abilities, and to encourage development of sailing skills through our wide range of in-house training programmes.

In 2010, EYC has a new club house, workshops, pontoon, training boats, boat yard and storage facilities. With this development, EYC can now offer enhanced sailing and training under the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) training scheme.

New members are always welcome and encouraged to join our club and become involved in all club activities. EYC is built on a strong membership base, with a "self-help" attitude.

The Club has a wide range of activities that it supports:

We have an active programme of cruiser and dinghy racing including inter-club throughout the year.

Our social sailing includes regular visits to St. Kats in the centre of London, east coast cruises, and down-river pub trips.

We are an RYA training centre with our own full-time coach, able to offer a full range of courses including racing and power-boating.

We have an active social programme ranging from BBQs, to jazz and quiz nights, prize-giving and Christmas dinner. (Past Events)
