Whitstable Yacht Club is located on the north Kent coast at Sea Wall, Whitstable, where the Thames Estuary meets the North Sea. Established in 1904, it is one of the oldest and largest sailing clubs in England.

The club caters primarily to dinghy sailors, as well as catamaran and windsurfer enthusiasts, with sheltered water sailing available at all states of the tide. Members launch from the club's own dedicated slipway, which sits adjacent to Whitstable Harbour.

Shoal-draft yachts may also be able to take the ground on the firm muddy shingle in front of the club premises during settled weather. A separate public slipway is located closer to the harbour entrance.
