Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club, Private yacht club in Lowestoft, England.
The Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club is a sailing club with its own marina and a grand clubhouse situated directly above the water at Lowestoft harbor. The facility includes boat berths and various rooms and common spaces available to members.
The club was founded in 1859 and moved to its current location in 1903 to a striking building designed by architect George Skipper. The structure was registered as a Grade II* listed building in 1979, making it one of the most important yacht club buildings in Britain.
The club serves as a meeting place for local sailors and boat owners who gather to share their passion for water sports and maintain sailing traditions. It reflects the maritime heritage of the region, where sailing has been woven into coastal life for generations.
Visitors will find showers, laundry facilities, and sleeping rooms at the clubhouse that are accessible to both members and guests. The 24-hour access for people with boat berths allows flexible use of the marina and its facilities.
The clubhouse features a special top-floor room with unobstructed views across the coastline and promenade of Britain's most eastern port. From this vantage point, visitors can watch maritime activity and boat movements while taking in the full expanse of harbor and seaside life.
