Visiting the Club – Brough

Guests are welcome at the HYC, but contact should be made ahead of time to check for berth availability & to get the latest info regarding the entrance channels, which can change at short notice.

The following should be considered guidance only & vessel masters should carry out their own passage planning.

Upriver from the Humber Bridge, the river tends to change a lot, and ABP publish a new chart as often as bi-monthly. Unfortunately this is not available in a format that will work with modern chart plotters, the only options are to buy the latest chart in paper form, or it can be downloaded as a free PDF from the ABP website here.

The Brough base of Humber Yawl Club is situated on the north bank of the Humber adjacent to the former British Aerospace factory.
Entry is possible approximately 2 hours either side of high water depending on tidal conditions and the draft of vessels.

Be aware of a strong tidal set and then proceed via leading marks into the creek. Pontoon moorings are situated to starboard. Visiting craft may moor adjacent to the mast hoist in the first instance.

Fore and aft moorings with stern lines may be vacant, but visitors should make enquiries before use.

Brough has a good range of pubs, restaurants, take-aways, shops, a filling station, and railway station with frequent national services.
