Welcome to RDYC

The Royal Dee Yacht Club was founded in 1815 as the Dee Yacht Club and is the second oldest yacht club in the UK. On November 1st 1847 the Club was accorded Royal Patronage to become The Royal Dee YC.

The Royal Dee has been involved with the organisation of many sailing events in the Irish Sea, often in collaboration with such organisations as ISORA and RORC.

2015 saw the 200th anniversary celebrations spread across the year and included a formal dinner at Eaton Park, Cheshire and a more casual cocktail party at Cadnant Gardens on Anglesey during the Menai Strait Regattas.

We also support the Volvo Dun Laoghaire regattas, the Menai Strait regattas and the Welsh IRC championship. More recently we have launched our Sailing trust that is supporting young sailors in the North West of England, North Wales and Ireland. Click the Sailing Trust link above for more information.

The latest beneficiary of the Royal Dee Sailing trust, receiving help and support, is Laura Hampton (pictured left). Within the Clubs aim to get young people into Offshore sailing, we are helping her in her quest to race around the Globe aboard "UNICEF", one of the entrants in the Clipper Round the World Race.

Laura will be periodically sending us snippets from her adventure as her journey around the globe continues.

Follow the links above to more information about the trust and to read more about Lauras' adventure.

These buoys have been provided by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology and are designed to provide data such as ocean temperature, currents and air pressure to aid forecasting and other research. The buoys have been launched at predetermined locations from various Clipper boats during the Race.

Unicef went on to win the leg, and add the victory to their four other podium finishes during the 11 month race. As laura says "What a phenominal end. 45,000 miles, 14 races and six continents later, we pull a first place out of the bag. Could not think of a better way to finish our circumnavigation!"

Founded Year

Founded in 1815 as the Dee Yacht Club. It is the second oldest yacht club in the UK. On November1st, 1847 the Club was accorded Royal Patronage to become The Royal Dee YC. The Royal Dee has been involved with the organisation of many sailing events in the Irish Sea, often in collaboration with such organisations as ISORA and RORC. We have hosted a regatta in the Menai Strait for years, perhaps since before the turn of the last century or even earlier. Records exist of local regattas in the Menai Straits early in the 19th century - Town Regattas from 1830 and the Royal Welsh Yacht Club from the 1850s and there is reason to suppose that the Royal Dee, as a prominent yacht club of long standing in the wirral and North Wales area, would have also hosted its first regatta in the Strait around this period.

Royal Yacht Club: all inclusive with Moscow residence permit

At the beginning of this summer, a significant event in the yachting industry took place in Russia: a new yacht club was opened in Moscow.

All the “bison” marinas near Moscow have received a worthy competitor in their ranks: Royal Yacht Club can offer everything, and even a little more. To find out everything for sure, our editors decided to go on a visit to the new water area.

A few tens of minutes - and here it is, the turn from the Leningradskoye highway, leading to the yacht club, located on the territory of the Dynamo water stadium. Right there you will find a fork in which you will have to decide on a difficult choice: the first-class Royal Yacht Club marina or the stunning Beach Club beach. It is no wonder if yacht lovers choose the first one, leaving their desire to lie down on a sun lounger for a little later. For about a couple of hours. That is how long the process of joining a new yacht club will take you, but to lie down on the aforementioned deck chair, but already on board your own yacht, knowing that you are still in Moscow, you must agree that this feeling is worth a lot. By the way, about prices. Their layout for this season is as follows: parking a yacht up to 9 meters will cost $ 4 per day per meter, and a vessel over 9 meters - $ 5. An important point is the fact that the water area has a great depth, from 2 to 8 meters, which will allow ships to moor even with a large draft.

Now a little about the appearance of the marina. Here everything is arranged very systematically. The first berth is designed for small boats, the rest - for those whose size is quite impressive - up to 30 meters. The yacht club can accommodate 190 vessels on its territory and currently has several dozen yachts on its territory. According to the management of the Royal Yacht Club, there is not such a large volume of rented places now due to the fact that in May (when yachtsmen acquire subscriptions for the whole summer) it was not yet clear when exactly this place would open, so most potential customers remained on the territory old bridgeheads of yacht harbors. However, walking around the marina, you can see guests from other yacht clubs looking around the property of the Royal Yacht Club with great interest with the clear intention of staying here in the near future. Actually, no one hides: most of the places are already being booked for the next season, since not everyone can pass by such a “tidbit”. To minimize the process of standing in traffic jams and afford a ship with a rather big draft, knowing that it will be possible to keep it within the boundaries of the capital - this, you see, is worth a lot.

Let's delve into the history of the place. The complex of the water stadium "Dinamo" was opened on the Leningrad highway in 1937. The author of this project is the famous architect Gennady Movchan. Initially, the water station looked something like this: there were three pools for swimming, diving and water polo on the territory. Spectator seats were located on reinforced concrete stands with a maximum capacity of three thousand people. A boathouse for academic courts was also built and several venues were organized for competitions in athletics, gymnastics and team sports. And, most importantly, even then there was a harbor for sailing and motor ships. However, as the years passed, the complex slowly but inevitably fell into disrepair. Having not been particularly damaged during the Great Patriotic War, the Dynamo water stadium has never been reconstructed for all the time. The only time it was redecorated was on the eve of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. Further, coups took place in the country, the commercialization of state property began, and the existence of the legendary water complex was forgotten. The harbor was biding its time. And it came in September 2005, when the owners of the (then future) Royal Yacht Club signed an agreement with the Moscow government and MGO Dynamo. The new time has come.

What is currently available on the territory of the Royal Yacht Club, besides the almost completely finished marina? Note that the harbor is equipped with electricity, cold water and Wi-Fi. A crane has been installed to lift yachts for winter storage. If you walk around the territory of the yacht club, you can see a large football field behind the marina - this is where they plan to store ships during the off-season. They will be wrapped in professional materials that will save your yacht from winter weather. Directly before the descent to the marina there is a three-story business center building with a total area of 3,300 square meters. Today, almost all of its space is given over to offices of yacht dealers. As you know, the 14th international exhibition “Boats and Yachts” will be held on the territory of the Royal Yacht Club from September 6 to 9 this year, which is notable for the fact that it will be possible to see almost the entire arsenal of yacht brands of the world, which other expositions cannot always boast of. It is expected that fully equipped booth houses will be installed along the marina itself, and some of the exhibition participants will be located directly on the water. At MIBS Autumn 2007, guests can expect a number of new products from leaders in the yachting business. A premiere is expected from Azimut Yachts in the person of the super-yacht Leonardo 98, on whose design Stefano Rigini and Carlo Galeazzi worked, a presentation of the new yacht of the 23M project from Laky Verf, there will also be a display of the first transatlantic mega-yacht built in Russia - Timmerman 45 and much more.

Works on the stands and the adjacent territory are in full swing. According to an agreement with the Moscow government, the stands will be preserved in their original form. Now they are being completely reconstructed using first-class materials. To the right and left of the stands are the outbuildings of Stalin and Beria, which by the next season will turn into luxurious apartments with fantastic views of the opposite bank (Pokrovskoye-Glebovo) and the park. Also in 2008, it is planned to open a restaurant near the stands with a total area of almost a kilometer.

Well, until the restaurant construction processes are completed, yachtsmen visit the partners of the Royal Yacht Club - the Beach Club beach complex. It is located on the other side of the aforementioned spectator stands. Note that this beach is of the highest level, which provides for a paid entrance, quality service and a restaurant open at any time of the year. Without leaving the borders of Moscow, you can touch the rest that many would envy: stretch out on a sun lounger, looking at the beautiful yachts, and smoke a hookah standing next to you on the sand from the Maldives.

Owned by Chuck Bond. I'd definitely say its one of the best places to live in Moscow. It's just off campus, affordably priced, and 'round the clock maintenance and speedy response to any issues. Extremely well maintained. Laundry facility on site and great neighbors! Nothing better than living in the Yacht Club for 3.5 years!! Chuck's amazing!

What is the MSC Yacht Club? Take a look at MSC Cruises’ luxury suite area

MSC Cruises sails nearly two dozen beautiful ships from home ports around the world, but their inviting sun decks can be crowded, and you're likely to encounter queues for dinner, shows and guest services.

The trick to creating a more luxurious experience on this big-ship cruise line is to book a stay in the line's Yacht Club. This upscale enclave within MSC Cruises ' larger ships offers guests more spacious accommodations, butler service and dedicated restaurants and lounges — even coffee delivered to your room each morning, just the way you like it.

Because of the Yacht Club , MSC can offer an inviting experience for cruisers who like big-ship cruising but crave more elevated accommodations, dining and amenities. MSC Cruises was one of the first lines to introduce this ship-within-a-ship concept, along with Norwegian Cruise Line . Now other popular cruise lines, such as Royal Caribbean , also have adopted it.

The Yacht Club section on several of MSC Cruises' ships offers gated access to semi-private dining, butler service and more, but it comes at a price. Find out how much you can expect to pay and what you'll get for your money.

For more cruise news, guides and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

What are the MSC Yacht Club perks?

All stays in the Yacht Club include priority check-in and checkout; priority disembarkation and boarding on shore excursions days; free premium alcohol and Wi-Fi packages; a bathrobe and slippers; complimentary access to the Aurea Spa thermal suite; 24-hour concierge and butler services (dining and spa reservations, unpacking and repacking, morning coffee delivery, etc.); a free daily in-cabin newspaper of your choice, delivered; and the ability to change your cruise one time without penalty.

Yacht Club cruisers are also entitled to discounts of 10% on spa treatments, 20% on specialty dining packages and 40% on spa packages.

In addition, passengers booked in the Yacht Club have access to their own dedicated bar, lounge and restaurant, as well as a semi-private outdoor bar, pool and hot tubs, all on an exclusive sun deck. When ships dock at the line's private island, Ocean Cay Marine Reserve , Yacht Club passengers have private beach and restaurant access .

In their cabins, Yacht Club cruisers will find a pillow menu, memory foam mattresses, high-quality linens, bathrooms with marble floors, a specialty coffee maker, complimentary open minibar access, one gratis bottle of spirits (choose from a list of available options), free one-time snacks, 24-hour room service and nightly turn-down chocolates from Venchi, an Italian chocolatier that partners with the cruise line.

Which MSC cruise ships have the Yacht Club?

Thirteen ships in the MSC Cruises fleet have the Yacht Club on board:

• MSC Bellissima
• MSC Euribia
• MSC Fantasia
• MSC Grandiosa
• MSC Meraviglia
• MSC Preziosa
• MSC Seascape.
• MSC Seashore.
• MSC Seaside
• MSC Seaview
• MSC Splendida
• MSC Virtuosa
• MSC World Europa

Upcoming vessel MSC World America (2025) also will have the Yacht Club.

The largest Yacht Club in the fleet is on MSC World Europa, offering 152 suites. The second-largest is found on the line's two Seaside EVO Class ships, MSC Seashore and MSC Seascape, which each have 131 suites.

MSC Yacht Club cabins

All accommodations in the Yacht Club are labeled as suites, even though they comprise some standard cabin types. The specific stateroom types offered will vary by ship, but in general, they range from windowless interior cabins and deluxe balcony rooms to Executive and Royal Suites with more space, walk-in closets and bathrooms with both showers and bathtubs.

New to the fleet with the line's World Class are 1,600-square-foot Owner Suites, which include multi-room layouts, walk-in closets, bathtubs and balconies, each with a whirlpool and alfresco dining area.

Also new are Duplex Suites, offering two decks of space, with the bedroom and bathroom upstairs and a dining area, living room and guest bath downstairs. These also include two private sun decks with loungers, one of which boasts a whirlpool.

How much does it cost to stay in the MSC Yacht Club?

As you might expect, the cost to stay in the Yacht Club depends on several factors, including cabin type, the length of the sailing and where you're going and when. However, in line with the rest of the brand's pricing, a stay in the Yacht Club is an excellent value when you compare it to stays in other lines' dedicated suite areas or to luxury cruise prices.

I priced out several sailings departing over the next two years on some of the line's newest and largest ships. This is what was available at press time. (Note: MSC Cruises' website will only allow me to choose a general Yacht Club designation when booking. That means a guaranteed suite within the Yacht Club, but you won't know what type it is until closer to sailing.)

• 7-night Caribbean and Bahamas cruise on MSC Seascape: $6,538 (including taxes) for two adults, round trip from Miami, March 16-23, 2024
• 11-night Bermuda, Canada and New England cruise on MSC Meraviglia: $9,958 (including taxes) for two adults, round trip from Brooklyn, New York, Sept. 25-Oct. 6, 2024
