Our Club

Situated on the South coast of England, on the Eastern edge of the vibrant city of Brighton, the Marina is home to Brighton Marina Yacht Club (BMYC). Established in 1978 and with a thriving membership, the club welcomes sailors, motor cruisers among other seafarers and all those who appreciate the sea, even if it’s just looking at it from our bar or deck.

The club organises yacht races throughout the year. We race every Sunday, and Wednesday evenings in the Summer. We also organise regular sail cruising programmes and other lively social events.

We welcome all visiting boat people to our friendly club where you can have a meal and a drink in our comfortable and relaxed bar by the waterside.

Social

Our club is a great location to relax after a day of sailing or just to while away a few hours in great company!

Enjoy alfresco lunches, dinners or just drinks on our large West-facing deck. It is also perfectly orientated for sundowners at the end of the day!

What better way to spend time than on our sunny deck watching the world sail by…?

Our menu combines fresh, local seasonal produce and seafood served as small plates, mains and classic dishes as well as platters that are perfect for sharing. All our dishes are always served with a side order of stunning marina views – on the house!

Racing

Since our inception in 1978, BMYC has built a reputation for competitive year-round yachting. We aim to offer racing on every weekend of the year; with ‘Around-the-Cans’ racing using our own fixed marks off Brighton Marina, and coastal races and passages across the English Channel.’

Throughout the Summer we offer opportunities to race on Wednesday evenings and throughout the year our members take part in events around Britain and the rest of the world.

Cruising

If you come cruising with Brighton Marina Yacht Club you will find a warm welcome from like-minded people who enjoy cruising in company!

Our focus is on enjoyment, exploring the South coast and building sailing experience.

Whether you own a yacht or a motor cruiser and wish to join us on the water or you want to crew and get more experience then we have something to offer you.

We are running an exciting rally program for ’23, with day sailing trips, weekend rallies, a cross channel rally and a week-long rally in the Solent!!
