Cardiff Yacht Club, founded in 1900, sits on the Hamadryad Peninsula along Windsor Esplanade on the edge of Cardiff Bay, with views over the Wetlands Nature Reserve and the Bristol Channel.

Around 300 yachts and motorboats are permanently moored on the club's pontoons, and the club also supports over 50 dinghies. A fully equipped boat yard with a boat hoist and telehandler is on site.

Visiting sailors from other clubs are welcome, with the club able to accommodate vessels up to 36 ft in length, 12 ft beam, and 2 m draft. Visitors may need to raft up during busy periods.

Toilets and showers are available to visitors when club members are present to provide access. Note that there is no electricity or fuel available at the pontoons.
