Welcome to brixham yacht Club Welcome to the Brixham Yacht Club brochure, regarded as one of the best yacht clubs in the south west, the club is a vibrant place to be with numerous sailing and social events throughout the year. The bar and restaurant have an unrivalled view over Brixham Harbour, Torbay and Lyme Bay and is open 365 days a year. The club has an active sailing calendar, club racing on a Thursday evening and Sunday morning and holds its Regatta during August. Dinghy racing takes place on Monday evenings. The Cruising section is very active with regular events during the season to local harbours or further afield. We are known for strong heritage roots and host two well supported heritage Regattas in May and September with many local Uphams built heritage trawlers participating.
The club is affiliated to the Royal Yachting Association and is an RYA training centre, the clubs cadets are trained by its junior sailing section which meets on Monday and Tuesday evenings. We pride ourselves in welcoming visitors, whether by boat via our two harbour pontoons, car in one of our car parks or on foot from the adjacent harbour side. We host a number of national dinghy championships each year. You can rest assured of a warm welcome at any time of the year. Commodore

Clubhouse Information The upper part of the clubhouse contains the main bar and separate restaurant known as the “Jubilee” room. This provides a most welcoming venue for socialising, full width windows facing the waterside, and arguably the best views in Torbay. Our chefs provide excellent lunches and evening meals throughout the week (except Sunday evenings), whilst the bar always stocks real ale and a comprehensive selection of competitively priced wines and spirits. Tables can be booked either within the main bar or the Jubilee room. The latter provides private dining if you prefer for up to 40 people, and is often booked for functions ranging from weddings to birthday parties. The main bar can seat up to 100, which is often the case on Club dining evenings, of which there are on average two a month throughout the year. The social aspects of the Club are highly regarded, with ladies’
weekday lunches, quizzes, charity poker nights, talks and tasting evenings going on throughout both summer and winter. We are fortunate in having on-site car parking in three separate areas. Having such local car parking is very unusual in crowded Brixham, and proves very popular, especially on race nights. One of the smaller compounds can be completely covered over, and is the popular venue for summer barbecues since it is right by the water and landing steps meaning you can get food and drink without climbing the steps up to the clubhouse! The large compound can take the biggest marquee which can be erected for large events, here we can cater for up to 400 guests with food and music.
