The Joy of Sailing with Us

Our yacht club philosophy centres on inclusivity and enjoyment, inviting sailors of various skill levels to participate in fortnightly sails. Without a dedicated clubhouse, the emphasis remains on the water itself, where members can truly appreciate the freedom of sailing. This approach has sustained the club since its inception, building a legacy of shared adventures in Whangarei and beyond. Northland's vibrant outdoor scene complements our mission, making every session a chance to unwind and connect with nature.
