The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club

Slip on your Sperry’s and sling your jacket over your shoulder—this is the place to be for yachties and rowers alike. At each of the club’s three waterfront locations, you can enhance your skills with a variety of courses or rent the club’s dinghies at your leisure

Once you are back on dry land, schmooze with like-minded individuals as you sip on specially curated and subsidised wines.

There are plenty of other facilities for landlubbers too, including restaurants, a bowling alley, gym, pool and squash courts.

Wine and dine: There are an array of dining establishments, including fine dining at the Compass Room, casual coffee shop fare, a bar and deck, and BBQ and a-la-carte dining at Middle Island and Shelter Cove.

For the family: This is a great place to encourage your mini-me’s love of the water with fantastic courses starting from the age of 6.

Little non-sailors have been kept in mind throughout each location too, with playrooms, playgrounds, pool parties, board games and other fun things for them to do.

Joining and Membership Fee: For the cheapest fees, you’ll need to prove your experience in sailing or rowing and show your willingness to participate in activities with the club.

Tatler Tip: Pull an all-nighter at the lavish Regatta Ball. Time will fly as you enjoy endless champagne, the finest delicacies and live entertainment.

If you’re still standing at 7am, paste on a smile for the infamous "Survivors’ Photo".
