Takapuna Boating Club Inc is a beachfront boat club whose history began with a race off Bayswater. The site says that race, won by the boat Consort, led to the Bayswater Boating Club in February 1914. The club was re-formed as Takapuna Boating Club in 1920 and celebrated 100 years in 2020. Its clubhouse on The Strand, at Takapuna Beach, was set up in 2002. It is at 14 Byron Avenue, Takapuna.
The club runs dinghy, kite and windsurfing sailing, surfski, stand-up paddleboarding, waka ama, triathlon and ocean swimming, along with social membership. It holds regular sailing and paddling activities and national championship events, and has hosted class world championship regattas, including the International 14 in 2005, the Laser Radial and RSX in 2008 and the Finn in 2015. The site also lists lessons, regattas and social events through the year. Members have equipment available on site and the bar offers discounts.
