The Lowestoft Cruising Club has a limited membership of 150 single and family members.
Anyone who wishes to join Lowestoft Cruising Club, apart from visitor members, must be proposed and seconded by members (of at least two years standing) of the Club.
There are five classes of membership:-

- A family membership being either one adult with children under the age of 18 or two adults living together, with or without children under the age of 18.
- Honorary membership.
- Crew membership.
- Temporary membership accorded to visiting yacht crew for the duration of their stay.
Once your application is received, you will be contacted by a committee member, invited to meet with committee members at the club and to be shown around the club facilities. This will be your opportunity to ask any questions you may have and we will be able to find out more about what you can bring to the club in return.
Join Lowestoft Cruising Club
Your details will then be posted on the club noticeboard for four weeks, after which time your application will be presented for consideration at the next committee meeting.

To keep costs down we do as much site maintenance and improvement work as possible with regular working parties.
“One reason that the club thrives is because members freely give of their time, expertise and effort to undertake improvements, maintenance work and administration. All members are expected to make contributions to the club in this way. The alternative is that external contractors are employed with a consequent rise in costs and fees.
“Any member who feels that they are restricted in the type of work that they are able to undertake may approach, in confidence, a member of the committee who will undertake to make appropriate arrangements if necessary.”
Extract from the Code of Conduct, paragraphs 16 & 18
The Lowestoft Cruising Club is not a commercial marina and not a place to simply berth a boat.
The ethos of the club is one of self-help and the facilities and social activities that we enjoy at the Cruising Club have all come as a result of our members personal efforts. From engineering and construction to administration and organising social events, members are expected to participate wherever they can.

Mooring fees
A full list of fees are available in the members’ section.
Additional Mooring Charges
- £ 50.00 deposit on application to the waiting list for an allocated mooring
- £300.00 ‘quay money’ is due when a berth is allocated
- £303.29 Harbour Dues for 2025 – Discounted for members, if paid through the club
- £ 60.66 Harbour Users Premium
Until an allocated berth becomes available (this can take several years), it may be possible to have an unallocated, temporarily mooring on a casual basis.
There are separate charges for Winter storage, craneage, slipway, etc.
The £350 (quay money + deposit) is returnable when the mooring is surrendered.
Without these two key ingredients our club simply could not exist in its present form or boast the marvellous facilities that our members currently enjoy.
The Lowestoft Cruising Club is not a commercial marina and most definitely not just a place to simply berth a boat. The facilities and social activities that we enjoy at the Cruising Club have all come as a result of the personal efforts of our members. You too are likely to be asked to contribute some of your time, effort and skills, if and when required.

Don’t worry if the idea of some of the apparent heavy site maintenance seems daunting or very technical, there are members that know what they are doing and can give you tasks that will be well within your capabilities.
From engineering & painting to catering and legal services, our members are expected to participate where they can – there’s administration that needs doing, too!

Our secure marina installation can accommodate over 70 vessels, all of which are moored against walk on and off finger-type berths, with water and electricity available to all berths. We have good toilet and shower facilities as well as secure car parking available for the benefit of both members and visitors.
In addition, hard standing winter storage (out of the water), rail-mounted trolley slipway (currently under repair), mast craning and the use of the club’s own pontoon mooring in Southwold Harbour (set very near to the Harbour Inn) are available to our members.
With respect to berth allocations, please be aware that because there is great demand for long-term berths at our moorings, we operate a waiting list system. The waiting list can be quite long and one might expect to wait several years before arriving at the top of the list.

One major benefit that our members and visitors enjoy is the close proximity to all the services that a yacht crew might need. Chandlers, cash machines, bars, restaurants, take-aways, shops, bus and rail links are all within a short walk, just few minutes away – once you regain your land-legs! Coupled with our secure car parking, this all adds up to our club making an ideal place to stop after a difficult trip or if you find yourself storm bound.
Our club is not unique, but the way our club is structured and the facilities that our club can offer are rather special. From the day that the club was conceived, way back in 1965, the ethos of the club has been one of self help and membership participation.
