Kielder Yacht Club is located on the shores of Kielder Water in Northumberland, and enjoys unrivalled views of the tranquil landscape of Kielder Forest. The Club Marina is based in the Whickhope Inlet, part of the 27 miles of shoreline. It provides both tranquil cruising and challenging sailing. We are a friendly club with a wide ranging membership coming from as far afield as Yorkshire, Scotland
and Cumbria, and are always looking to welcome new members to the pleasures of sailing on Kielder. Kielder Yacht Club is not just about cruising the lake, we operate an extensive sailing calendar with enough activities to keep the whole family involved. We include everything from a gentle sail to the a secluded inlet, rafting up with friends, enjoying a good bottle of wine, to full blown regatta weekends. Of course no sailing calendar would be complete without a good old BBQ. Our social calendar operates 12 months of the year and during the winter season we make the most of our club house facilities by hosting parties, hog roasts and winter walks. The club is home to both motor cruisers and yachts where members can enjoy a full calendar of social and sailing events or simply get away get from it all on Europe's largest manmade lake.
The club, which is affiliated to the Royal Yachting Association, caters for sailing and motor cruisers on Kielder Water. The policy of the club is to encourage both cruising and racing, as well as organising a full social programme - but most club members simply like to get away from it all and relax. The clubhouse has toilets, showers, a full galley, and members room. Next to it the members' car park, concrete launching slip and jetty. The yachts are kept on deep water swinging moorings and members can use either their own dinghy or one of the club tenders to board them. Find out more on our Website.
