The Little Ship Club is a yacht club for sailors, power boaters and non-sailors alike.

Being a member of the Little Ship Club enables you to:

 Enjoy sailing in good company whether you have a boat or not

 Learn and gain new sailing skills that make your sailing more enjoyable

 Enjoy private members dining in our beautiful Thameside Club in the heart of London

 Join in with our social events and lecture programmes in the clubhouse

and much, much more

Here's a summary of what you get from the Little Ship Club

Organised sailing events

Our members organise sailing events in UK coastal waters, the English Channel and further afield including the Caribbean and Mediterranean.

We hold rallies and cruises during the sailing season and Solent Fast Cruises over the winter.  This year we have events on the South coast, East coast, and throughout Europe.  Every other year we hold a joint cruise with our sister club in the USA, The Corinthians, where members sail as guests on each other's yachts.

Sail whatever your experience

You don't have to be a boat owner or an experienced sailor to enjoy your membership. There are plenty of opportunities available for you to gain experience with our other members.

Use our Crew service that matches up skippers and crews for Little Ship Club events and for members making their own voyages.
