The Otago Yacht Club is one of the leading yacht clubs in Otago with its origin dating back to 1869, making it also one of the oldest yacht clubs in the region.
During the season we run regular racing including ocean, coastal and harbour events which cater for keelboats, trailer yachts and centreboard dinghies. Refer to our Sailing Programme page for current season events. We operate a busy slipway and maintenance yard catering for boats up to 12 tonnes.
The clubrooms have just been refurbished and cater for a variety of private functions and for local organisations to hold meetings and events. Please contact us if you wish to make a booking for your function. On Sunday mornings throughout the season we run a Sailing School program which caters for those aged 8 up to adult level. Read more
