Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club
Founded in 1890, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club isone of the largest yacht clubs in the world. It was the only Hong Kong club that kept the Royal in its title post-handover, although its Chinese name is simply the Hong Kong Yacht Club. Unsurprisingly, membership is contingent on an interest in rowing or sailing.
The club offers sailing courses to non-members, though priority is given to members. Sitting under the umbrellas on the terrace of its Middle Island clubhouse is surely one of the most relaxing spots in Hong Kong. Junior memberships at a reduced fee are also available.
Short-term memberships have no entrance fee but a higher monthly charge applies. To be eligible you must be over 29, demonstrate experience and active participation in sailing or rowing and confirm that you expect to reside in Hong Kong for no more than two years. Short-term membership cannot be extended, and may only be enjoyed once.
Facilities: Sailing, rowing, dragonboating, moorings, berths (Shelter Cove), restaurants; Kellett Island has four restaurants, a swimming pool, bowling alley, squash courts and hardstands.
Entrance fees: $91,800 (ordinary single), $137,700 (ordinary married) to $2,250,000 (corporate nominee).
Monthly fees: vary up to $2,130, according to membership type (including building levy and minimum food and beverage charge).

Asia’s Sailing Soul: Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club
- April 21, 2022
With its Kellett Island clubhouse set in the heart of Victoria Harbour, the storied Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is an icon in the sailing world. Yet although RHKYC embraces its fascinating history dating back to the mid-19th century, Asia’s biggest and most active yacht club remains committed to positive changes. Words: Guy Nowell Photos: RHKYC & Guy Nowell
RHKYC’s main site at Kellett Island
The history of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is long and illustrious, beginning with the first regatta of the Victoria Regatta Club in 1849.
Thereafter, in the best Hong Kong tradition of acquisitions and mergers, it involved the Yacht Club, the Victoria Regatta Club, a German gymnasium, the Hong Kong Corinthian Sailing Club, the Victoria Recreation Club (which still exists) and the Hong Kong Yacht Club.
The club runs the busiest racing calendar in Asia
In 1894, after a polite request, Buckingham Palace advised that “the Queen approves of the Hong Kong Yacht Club having the title of Royal” and the warrant was granted that authorised members to “fly the Blue Ensign of Her Majesty’s Fleet, with the distinguishing marks of the Club thereon”. The RHKYC had arrived.
The Club has been housed in numerous premises over the years: Yau Ma Tei, Wanchai, North Point and Causeway Bay. Kellett Island, the present home of the Club, was an island in 1937 when the Hong Kong Government gave permission for RHKYC to use the land, although it has long been absorbed by advancing reclamation.
The main bar captures the club’s history
The present clubhouse was built in 1939 and commissioned in 1940, only to be shut down by the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in December 1941. Today, the Kellett Island clubhouse remains very much ‘headquarters’ for the RHKYC and houses plenty of tributes to the Club’s fascinating history.
Denis Martinet, current Commodore of the RHKYC, says: “Our history is very much alive and well, and an important part of the Club’s ethos. Our history is hanging on our walls, literally. We are still racing for trophies that mark occasions – or remind us of people – that have marked the pages of our story.
RHKYC Commodore Denis Martinet
“But we are not mired in the past. We are a dynamic and evolving organisation that moves with the times and always seeks to remain relevant in both social and strictly sporting terms.”
The Kellett Island facility includes two restaurants (fine dining and casual), three bars, squash courts, a bowling alley and pool table, snooker room, swimming pool, gymnasium, children’s playroom, Youth Club room, changing rooms, and all the administrative offices that keep the place going.
The pool is among popular facilities
In addition, it has probably Hong Kong’s best repair and maintenance boatyard for private vessels and a large hard standing area that’s home to several one-design racing fleets.
SOUTH SIDE TO SAI KUNG
But that’s not all. Middle Island, on the south side of Hong Kong island, became part of the RHKYC portfolio in 1937. It was originally set up as a home for Comet class boats before the Rowing Section joined in, finding Deepwater Bay to be a more congenial location for rowing than the harbour.
The Middle Island clubhouse off HK Island’s south side
A year later, after a typhoon had demolished both the boats and the single mat-shed, a new brick clubhouse was constructed and still exists as the topmost level of the clubhouse facilities.
Middle Island remains the Club’s centre for rowing, which includes coastal rowing, outrigger paddling and SUP activities. Its F&B facilities include the city’s best barbecue deck and an enormous hard standing catering to the Club’s dinghies and sail training fleet, with room to spare to accommodate visiting World Championship fleets and other large-scale international events.
RHKYC has a strong junior sailing programme
The Middle Island Sail Training Centre runs a full menu of courses (pandemics permitting) for aspiring sailors aged six years old all the way to grown-up. In 2020 a grand total of 2,698 students completed courses ranging from Optimist beginners to adult racing. Middle Island is also the home of the Club’s dedicated junior racing squad, the RHKYC Sharks.
The Club’s third property, Shelter Cove, near Sai Kung, started life in the 1960s as the Shelter Cove Yacht Club and was ‘merged into’ the RHKYC in 1975. Shelter Cove is a small haven of peace and much beloved by the Club’s cruising members.

Its 120-plus swing moorings give access straight onto the beautiful cruising grounds of Port Shelter and all points east. The clubhouse itself offers F&B service, an ideal spot for a sundowner and changing rooms. The large hard standing accommodates two of the Club’s racing classes – the Dragons and the Sportsboats – and a car park.
BIGGEST AND BUSIEST
RHKYC has often been touted as the ‘largest yacht club in the world’ by membership. At last count, there were 14,147 members encompassing 43 nationalities, of which some 8,000 are presently absent from Hong Kong. That leaves over 6,000 active members in the SAR. Martinet points out that the composition of the membership has changed substantially since World War II.
Members dress up for the Nations’ Cup; membership totals 14,000
“At that time, there were no Chinese members at all,” he says. “In the 1980s, it was still 60 per cent expatriates. Today it’s more than 60 per cent local members, while we continue to work to bring down the average age of the membership. Our younger members are our future.”
In recent years, the Club has gone to some lengths to make membership as accessible as possible. In addition to the traditional Ordinary and Full memberships, the RHKYC offers both Corporate and Individual Debenture memberships, and Junior (18-32) and Short Term memberships. But be warned: there’s still a waiting list.
Races to the Philippines have been run since 1962
As well as sailing, rowing remains a core activity of the RHKYC. The Rowing Section is an active participant in local regattas up to national level and a frequent winner in all classes at the annual National Championships. When travel restrictions allow, the Club’s oarsmen and ladies are regular competitors at regional events throughout Asia.
For the sailors, the sailing and racing programme is practically non-stop. The season runs from September to May, but racing continues even in the ‘off season’.
The Club schedules 16 major regattas and races in a typical year’s programme including the ‘blue riband’ Rolex China Sea Race down to the Philippines (first sailed in 1962) and the Hong Kong to Vietnam Race (from 1996), which were held in alternate years before Covid prevented recent editions.
Filling in the spaces in the calendar are weekly races for the Etchells fleet and the Dragons, Pandoras and Ruffians, the Flying 15s, Impalas, Sportsboats and J/80s. Records for the 2020-21 season show that the principal Club events engaged 863 boat entries and 4,580 sailor entries.
Volunteers play a huge role in organising events
“It’s a packed programme,” the Commodore acknowledges, with no exaggeration at all. “You can’t do it without volunteers – thank you, all! – and it’s part of the Club’s culture that we never seem to be short of volunteers.”
SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Mindful of its visibility as a centre of sporting excellence, the Club works exceptionally hard to be “green, sustainable, and environmentally friendly”. Since 2016, there have been no single-use plastic bottles on any of the RHKYC premises. None. And no plastic single-use takeaway containers, yoghurt pots or cutlery.
The Around The Island Race is Hong Kong’s most popular sailing event
Martinet is very supportive of all green initiatives. “You have to start somewhere. Members didn’t take long to get used to bringing their own water bottles when heading for the race course, and refilling them from the dispensers provided. Such initiatives are indicative of intent,” he says.
“All the Club’s major regattas and class races are conducted under Gold Status as certified by Clean Regattas – Sailors for the Sea. It’s just part of the Club’s Sustainability Policy, which serves as a roadmap for cultivating and operating a healthier, more sustainable yachting and rowing community.”

The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is one of the very few sporting clubs around the world which can properly be described as ‘iconic’. Today, it stands as a proud and visible marker on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, enjoying commanding views of one of the world’s greatest harbours.
Unlike some other clubs in Asia, which are really marinas with an occasional regatta, the RHKYC is the real deal. It is, de facto, the doyenne of yacht clubs in Asia.

How to choose the right private club?
To choose the right private club, besides the fact that some of your friends might influence your choice, there are some key aspects to take into consideration:
- Location: If you’re trying to really maximize the value of a club membership, location is critical. The more convenient the location, the more often you’ll go. There’s no point spending a lot of money on joining fees, and monthly fees, if you aren’t able to make use of the club facilities.
- Sports: If you’re into sports and want to practice tennis, cricket, rugby, or sailing, then selecting a club with like-minded people and having the opportunity to practice is important.
- Cost: The membership cost and the monthly fees are huge factors. Let’s face it: Some club memberships are more expensive than others. Expensive club memberships include the Country Club and the Aberdeen Marina Club (AMC). But some of the other clubs cost much less and don’t forget if you’re good at a sport, you might be able to enjoy reduced fees.
- People: Once you join a club, you can expect to make some new friends and extend your network quickly, but it’s always good to go somewhere where there are a few friendly faces. Check to see if your friends are members anywhere.
How to join a private membership club in Hong Kong?
Waiting lists for club memberships are not as long as they used to be and these days, private clubs are trying to attract more members, and there is often flexibility in terms of memberships. Below are some alternate ways to consider when you want to join a club in Hong Kong:
- Can’t get in as a 7-day member at the LRC? You can first apply to become a 5-day member. Do this for at least 2-4 years, and then they might accept you as a 7-day member.
- Can’t get into The American Club as a full member? Consider a reverse membership. The American Club’s reverse membership allows you to use their Central location on weekends and their Tai Tam venue on weekdays.
- Got some sporting abilities? Another way to get accepted into a club is by becoming a sporting membership. If you can demonstrate decent sporting abilities, this should help you secure a membership more quickly.
Remember : At first, you might not be able to secure the exact membership you want. However, once you join a club, be sure to regularly go and show that you are an active participating member. This will enhance your chances of gaining the full club membership.
How much do Hong Kong private clubs cost?
The fees listed above should only be taken as a guide as fees are constantly changing. For the most up-to-date fees, please contact the club directly. Also, each club has different membership types, so fees will vary depending on the exact membership.
But, as a general rule, the most expensive clubs are considered to include: The American Club, Aberdeen Marina Club, and The Hong Kong Country Club.

Membership for the best Hong Kong private clubs varies. For each club, we have detailed membership fees within the reviews above.
What are the benefits of having a club membership in Hong Kong?
– Your kids will have their own space to play with friends after school or on the weekends. If it’s hot, they might want to relax in an indoor playground! – Many membership clubs are generally pretty good (although this does vary from club to club) about accepting club guests so you’ll be able to invite some friends over and see your little ones enjoy themselves with their friends. – With private club memberships, adults will also get the opportunity to enjoy their own activities. Depending on which club they join and what sports are being offered- for example, a game of tennis or even just some quiet time in an equipped sauna. – One of the best things about clubs in Hong Kong is that they cater to everyone.
Is a club membership in Hong Kong worthwhile?
If you’re single, without kids, working long hours, and barely finding time to make it out of the office when the sun is up, a club membership may not be a great option.
On the other hand, if you have kids and you’d like a single location for them to do various sporting activities such as swimming, ballet, gymnastics, taekwondo, and other sports with friends in an environment supervised by adults who have been trained in child safety guidelines – then a club membership can be super handy!
Even if you’re not looking for a place for your kids to relax or play on their own during school vacations or weekends while they learn new skills from qualified instructors – there are plenty of benefits that go beyond that. Having a club membership can give you the opportunity to play your sport of choice, as well as meet people with similar interests.
Why can I expect subsidized pricing within the club?
It’s a different story for each club, but generally, once you’re a club member, you can expect the pricing of F&B consumed within the club to be cheaper than you’ll find elsewhere. The same goes for kids’ lessons; you’ll find you will be hard-pressed to find cheaper or better swimming lessons outside your club.
There’s a simple reason for all of this, you’ve already paid a joining fee, and you’re probably paying monthly fees, so clubs want to incentivize you to come and spend as much time (and money) as possible as the club.
Once you become a club member, it certainly makes sense to try to do many activities at the club to enjoy the maximum benefits.
You have options when it comes to private club memberships in Hong Kong. Each club tends to focus on either one particular sports or a few sports.
Once you’re a member, most clubs offer discounted rates on spa services, food, and beverages as well as kids’ sports lessons! It’s worth looking into what each place has to offer before choosing which one suits your needs. In this blog post, we’ve provided a list of 10 great choices that you can find around town. Have you found a membership yet?
