Spring has sprung and it's time to get ready for boating adventures. Â So, if you are keen to start things off, be certain to attend the open house this weekend.
We'll have club members, instructors staff and a few vessel owners on hand to help you navigate your very own path to the water. Â Â Whether you're interested in the lessons, club programs, or charter vessels... we've got power and sail, monohulls and multihulls on site to check out.
Boat rides are available to those who book in advance - a few spaces remain:Â
