Sovereign Harbour Yacht Club

Formed by a small band of enthusiasts in 1997, the club has grown consistently each year and we now have over 750 members.

Our bright, modern clubhouse, which we opened in 2006, is the base for our active racing, cruising and social programmes, and we enjoy a wide range of events throughout the year.

Located at the eastern end of Eastbourne’s famous promenade, Sovereign Harbour is rapidly becoming the largest and one of the most stunning marinas in northern Europe. Excellent visitor facilities, berthing for nearly 1,000 boats and 24/7 access make Sovereign Harbour a favourite port of call for yachtsmen.

Sovereign Harbour Yacht Club extends a warm welcome to visitors from the UK and the continent alike.

Today, SHYC is a thriving yacht club. Our smart new clubhouse, one of the best facilities on the south coast, serves the needs of our expanding membership as well as providing a much-needed focus for social functions in the marina. This is a marvellous asset for all our members, achieved in such a short club history.

With air-conditioned bars, large picture windows and extensive sunny balconies on both the first and second floors, the clubhouse provides fantastic views over the North Harbour and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the marina.

We are proud of our clubhouse and prouder still of our reputation as a thriving, active and friendly yacht club.The contemporary design provides four floors comprising:Lower ground floor – Dive Club facilitiesGround floor – main entrance and changing facilities1st floor – Club Room and bar incorporating The Chart Room2nd floor – main function suite and toilets
