Cardiff Yacht Club is probably the friendliest yacht club in the Bristol channel or even the world.
We extend a warm welcome to young, old, rich, poor.
 
 
  • We are run on a voluntary non-profit making basis, and believe that all forms of boating should be affordable for local people in Cardiff Bay.
  • We do not want to become a restricted centre for excellence but to allow members to participate in any level of activity that suits them.
  • We also want to ensure that the traditional community activities can be retained so that our sport can be enjoyed by local people and visitors.


History

 Cardiff Yacht Club was founded in 1900 with the club meeting in the Avondale Hotel, Clarence Road, Butetown. The Marquis of Bute, who owned the docks, presented silver cups to the winners of the races held at the annual reviews and regattas. These cups are currently in the safe keeping of the Cardiff County Council.
   
  The old clubhouse was built by members from a prefabricated building in 1958 and extended in 1981. The new clubhouse was opened in 2001 and is currently up and running. We now have a new slipway and hoist which are ready to go. This operation was organised and mainly buillt by members. The club is a freeholder of 2.4 acres of land and has a covenant for 40 years which stops us trading for profit.
