Function and Venue Hire
RCYC has a variety of function venues for hire, ranging in size for those small and refined functions to the big rip-roaring parties. We have a variety of cocktail, set and buffet menus |

The Bar and Restaurants
An A la Carte restaurant is divided into three areas; the Terrace, the Galley and the Deck. The same menu is served throughout these areas with the only difference being the setting. The Galley offers a private dining area tucked away from the hustle of the club, while the Terrace and Deck have a more relaxed atmosphere.
The yacht club has two main bars, the traditional Men's bar and the Ladies bar. The men's bar is a smoking bar and provides the club with memories of years gone by set with its collection of plaques, memorabilia and photos of famous boats from yester-years. The ladies bar is situated in the water side of the club and overlooks the marinas. The bar trades till 11 pm and has a reputation for stretching time when the club gets into full swing.
Friday evening entertainment ranges from one-man to six-piece bands. Food and Beverage Manager: |
