Sovereign Harbour Yacht Club

Welcome to Our Club

Welcome to Sovereign Harbour Yacht Club - a thriving club with active racing, cruising, and social programmes throughout the year and one of the best clubhouses on the south coast.

We are delighted to extend a warm and friendly welcome to our members, their guests and visiting yachtsmen.

The Royal Sovereign Suite

The Royal Sovereign Suite is a perfect venue for private parties, luncheons, buffets, banquets, wedding receptions and conferences. This multi function venue is situated on the second floor of the clubhouse and is served by a lift with disabled access.

Yacht Racing at SHYC

Sovereign Harbour Yacht Club prides itself on its active all-year racing programme. The Yacht Club is one of the prime hosts for the Sussex Regatta, and actively supports both the RNLI and Beneteau Regattas each summer. Members also travel to support other Regattas and Races; for example Royal Escape, Cowes Week, Cork Week, and various National Championships.

Cruising in Company

This season we have an exciting cruising calendar with something for everyone - short weekend breaks and long spring/summer holidays, travelling across the channel and down to the west country, familiar destinations and new ports.

SHYC Social Scene

There is a very active social side to the yacht club - live bands and discos, quiz nights, karaoke and talk of local interest.

Plus traditional yacht club social events - Fitting Out and Laying Up Suppers, Burns Night, Commodore's Sail Past, Christmas Lunch, and New Year's Eve party.
