Visitors
The Royal Dart Yacht Club welcomes visiting sailors. A visiting sailor is a non-member who comes to the river by boat, but doesn't normally keep his vessel on the river Dart. Members may also invite guests to the club. All visitors should sign in to the Visitor Book kept in the reception area.
RDYC expects all members, guests and visitors to abide by all the traditional rules and courtesies and moreover when racing to race in the Corinthian spirit.
Visitor facilities
Visitors are welcome to use all the facilities of the club, including the bar and terrace. There are male and female toilets on the ground floor. Male and female changing rooms with showers and toilets can be found on the first floor.
Dress Code
The Royal Dart Yacht Club is a relaxed private members club, though we do request that members and visitors wear suitable attire for the surroundings whilst recognising that we are a functioning sailing club.
During the daytime we operate a casual dress code encouraging a relaxed approach. Providing it does not offend other members or contravene our club rules, it is likely to be acceptable. Please remember that topless attire will not be acceptable in any social parts of the Club.
Social events advertised on the Club website will normally make clear when a particular dress code is advised, for instance Smart Casual, Yachting No.1s or Black Tie. Please keep in mind that we ask Gentlemen not to wear headgear in the clubhouse in the evening.
You can read our full Dress Guidance Notice here.
Mooring

Visiting yachts are welcome to use the club pontoon (if available) for a short stay while on club premises. Mooring overnight is permitted for members only, subject to permission from a flag officer.
