Royal Motor Yacht Club

Sitting right on the Sandbanks peninsula at the mouth of Poole Harbour, the Royal Motor Yacht Club is one of the south coast's most prestigious members' clubs, with a private marina and sweeping harbour views. It's the kind of place that feels genuinely exclusive — you'll need membership to make the most of it, but the setting and the club's facilities make it well worth looking into. Open most days through the week, it's a proper base for exploring one of the UK's finest natural harbours.
