The Best Yacht Club Industry in Western Cape | eKomi StarInsights

“Money doesn’t buy you happiness, but it buys you a big enough yacht to sail right up to it”. -Johnny Depp

The rich and famous are not merely looking for the best place to anchor their yachts; they are also seeking out exclusive memberships in stunning destinations, all offering luxury amenities and, of course, bragging rights. These exclusive yachting clubs, with often outrageous initiation fees, provide luxurious clubhouses, and provide accommodations for yachts who want to get their land legs. 

One of the world’s top locations for sailing and boat building is the Western Cape. Much of the city’s century-old yachting culture is concealed in plain sight around the city. Numerous opulent amenities are available. For instance, yearly regattas for racing enthusiasts; fishing charters for fishers, and social events where all the stars shine at the luxury yacht club.

Yacht Clubs are exclusive organisations where members can socialise and advance their sailing skills. They centre on entertaining boat enthusiasts and yacht racers.  The clubs are centred on instructing, learning, and engaging in recreational boating activities.

It is important to know about these communities and how they function, and so, using ratings and reviews given by customers on Google Maps, eKomi conducted a study on the best and most rated Yacht Clubs in the Western Cape, as seen in the table below.
