Bedford Basin Yacht Club

Bedford Basin Yacht Club was established in 1953 at the head of the Bedford Basin in Bedford. At the time it was a cottage community on the outskirts of Halifax.

The cold fog that often envelopes Halifax Harbour seldom makes its way all the way up the Basin hence, the location has earned the nickname as Sunnyside and Summer Cove

BBYC is a family and community oriented yacht club with an emphasis on sailing, racing and sail training programs for juniors and adults. Cruising coastal for power and sail, day sailing and a variety of events that make up a year-round social calendar place BBYC at the forefront of this vibrant community.

We are Bedford’s community based, not-for-profit, volunteer-driven, family-oriented sailing and boating Club.

Our mission is to provide a broad range of affordable and sustainable boating services and social functions for members, which support fellowship in sailing, boating, cruising, racing and sail training for juniors and adults.
