Chelsea Yacht Club, London SW3
Chelsea Yacht Club, London SW3
The Chelsea Yacht Club is London’s most exclusive private members club on water. Situated at Cadogan Pier, by Albert Bridge, The Club provides access to two beautifully restored 1920s and 1930s Motor Yachts.
Both vessels have remarkable histories and distinguished provenance. They are fully coded to PLA standards and are skippered by a professional captain and crew. The Club has both its own concierge service and an Event Manager, responsible for every detail of the journey.
Bluebird of Chelsea was built in 1931 by Thornycroft for Sir Malcolm Campbell to commemorate his Knighthood and to celebrate breaking the land speed record with his car Bluebird at 246mph. She participated in Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of 338,000 British and French troops from the beaches of DUNKIRK in 1940. She also took part in the Queens Jubilee Parade in 2012. She is a fine example of a Gentleman’s motor yacht of the 1930s, and with her naval history, unique interior fittings, present splendour and astonishing story, Bluebird of Chelsea has not only been a lucky ship but also a happy ship. Long may she continue to be both.
Sigrid of Chelsea was built by Camper & Nicholson in 1925 for Lady Onslow. Between 1940 and 1945 Sigrid was requisitioned by the Royal Navy, where she performed a number of duties delivering fleet orders from the Admiralty. She is an excellent example of a Gentleman’s motor yacht of the Edwardian era, and with her fine lines, perfect layout and excellent interior, there are very few yachts with such pedigree, provenance and good looks.
The yachts are continually restored to the highest level, where comfort is our main drive. Bespoke Cigar humidors, mahogany tables and controlled heating for the winter months. The yachts are truly usable throughout the year in total comfort.
Both Sigrid and Bluebird are fully crewed with a Skipper, First mate and hostess for all events. We work closely with some of London’s top chefs to create seasonal menus which are matched with wine from our cellars.
Whether for a guided tour along the Thames, breakfast meeting, sunset drinks en route to a concert at the O2 or intimate dinner; our team will take care of every detail of your trip, before, during and after your journey
Capacity: 15 guests per boat
