The Whakatane Yacht Club is in its 70th year of operation and during this time has been active in the provision of sailing
fellowship for young and old.
The location of the clubroom on a rock in the river is unique, and makes it a perfect venue for education, sailing
experiences and services for its members.
Within the last 2 years the club has partnered with the Whakatane Canoe club, who use the downstairs facility for boat
storage and to facilitate training on the river.
Club members are made up of both sailors and motorboaters and of course social members who just like to be around things nautical.
The club has a small membership and is always looking for new members.
If you are keen to be part of the ‘Best little club in the River’ then please make contact with us by email to
Or come along to the club nights on a Wednesday or Friday 5pm onwards.
