About Wakatere Boating Club

Nestled on the sandy shores of Narrow Neck Beach in Devonport, Auckland, Wakatere Boating Club is more than a sailing club - it’s a family club. From champions to weekend warriors, from first-timers to seasoned families, our members sail a vibrant mix of centreboard dinghies and foiling classes.

We welcome all ages with entry-level learn-to-sail programmes and foster a lifelong love of the sport. Whether you're chasing podiums or just catching the breeze, there's a place for you here.

JOIN THE CREW!

~ friendship, life skills, resilience, competition, adventure ~
