A family-friendly yacht club on Ara-Tai Road in Half Moon Bay, with a 100-berth marina and more than 75 years of history. Its website describes it as one of the largest family-friendly yacht clubs in New Zealand. The club runs keelboat and centreboard racing, learn to sail courses for all ages, and a high performance pathway for talented young sailors. It also has haul out facilities, fishing and power events, family cruising, and a power and social boating section for people who enjoy motor boats. The clubhouse has a dining room and event spaces, and members and their guests can eat by the sea.
Half Moon Bay sits on the Manukau side of the city, and the marina is the working heart of the club. The club offers a bit of everything for sailors, from beginners to competitive racers, and it hosts regular social events through the year. Members can join regattas and social nights, and its website says it keeps the community in touch with news and member spotlights. Membership is the route into the club's dining, marina berths and racing programme.
