We are a family-orientated club, sailing dinghies and catamarans on the safe waters of the beautiful Maroochy River. We welcome those who just want to enjoy the wind and the water, as well as the more competitive sailor, while non-sailors are invited to assist in support roles - both on and off the water.

The Club is an Australian Sailing Discover Sailing Centre and delivers learn to sail courses under the Tackers and Learn to Sail programs with fully qualified Instructors and Assistant instructors.
