Directions to the Club:

Poole Y.C. is easy to find, being located directly adjacent to the cross channel ferry terminal. As you approach Poole follow signs for the cross channel ferry. As you near the ferry terminal you’ll pass under a large green gantry over the road with the words " Welcome to the Port of Poole" emblazoned on it. Directly after this you’ll cross a railway line and find yourselves at a roundabout. Turn right at the roundabout and follow the road to the very end where you’ll find Poole Yacht Club.

We extend a warm welcome to visitors from other recognised yacht Clubs. Please note the following :

1. All visiting yachts must seek prior approval before entering the yacht haven by calling "PIKE" on Channel M or 80 VHF .
