About Howth Yacht Club
Channel your inner sailor at Howth Yacht Club, a world-class venue on the peninsula's edge offering lessons and charters amid Howth's best things to do. Founded in 1901 on Middle Island off the harbour, it hosts international regattas like the Howth Wave Race but welcomes beginners with taster sessions in keelboats, powerboating, or stand-up paddleboarding. Instructors guide you through the sheltered waters, past seal colonies and Ireland's Eye, with the club's modern facilities including a gym, cafe, and stunning balcony views. Feel the wind, learn knots, and maybe spot dolphins; it's accessible sailing excellence.
