Erith Yacht Club sits on the south bank of the tidal River Thames near the Dartford River Crossing, on the edge of Crayford Marshes just east of Erith in Kent.

Founded around 1904–1905, it overlooks Erith Rands, a wide stretch of the river that provides good conditions for sailing and racing.

The club's slipways support the launch and recovery of yachts from cradles on rising or falling tides, and dinghies can be launched directly from the slipway across the full tidal range.

A half-tide pontoon in front of the clubhouse is accessible approximately two hours either side of high water.

The clubhouse, completed in 2010, replaced facilities that had been housed in a retired Norwegian car ferry and was developed with National Lottery and London Borough of Bexley funding as part of the 2012 Olympic legacy.
