Royal Perth Yacht Club hosts conferences, corporate functions, weddings and private celebrations for groups from 20 to 300 guests. The club stands on the Swan River at 6 Australia II Drive in Crawley, about ten minutes from the Perth CBD, and has been a club since 1876.
Seminars and company events
The club sells a conferences offer and a private events offer for corporate functions, team celebrations, client entertainment and networking events. Workshops have been held in the Bond Room, and the River Room, upstairs, is used for work functions. The club also runs a corporate membership program for companies that want to hold meetings and entertain clients at the club on a regular basis.
The club states that it can host groups as small as 20 or as large as 300, and room-by-room capacities are listed in a Room Pricing and Capacities document available from the club. Ask for it before you choose a room.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a dedicated offer, with a choice of wedding packages for a riverside setting. The club describes its location as ten minutes from the Perth CBD with views over the water. Festive events, school celebrations and wakes are also listed as separate offers, so the events team handles a wide range of private functions.
Rooms and capacities
Function spaces are in the main club at Crawley and in the Fremantle Annexe at 51 Mews Road, and both have virtual tours on the club's site. The Bond Room and the River Room are named, and spaces are described as adaptable, with indoor and outdoor areas and views of the river. Individual capacities are not published on the pages we reviewed, apart from the range of 20 to 300 guests.
Accommodation
There are no guest bedrooms at the club. The club has a marina and berths for visiting vessels, which may suit a sailing-themed group. Plan hotels in Perth for out-of-town guests.
Catering
Catering is flexible. Options include grazing tables, shared feasts, live food stations, plated fine dining, interactive stations and canapés, with a focus on fresh local produce. Beverage packages range from budget to premium wines, with a spritz bar and cocktail upgrades available. The club also runs dining venues of its own, the Seafarer Bistro, the Wardroom and the Catalina Bar.
History and setting
The club was founded in 1876 and has a long association with sailing and with the America's Cup. It is built around its marina, and the function spaces look onto the Swan River.
