About the Bay of Islands Yacht Club
Sailing Newfoundland’s West Coast Since the Beginning
The Bay of Islands Yacht Club is known for its spectacular beauty and deep waters. The yacht club is a casting-off point for many boating excursions in and around the bay, with countless islands and inlets to explore.
Founded in 1975, the Bay of Islands Yacht Club has been a cornerstone of Corner Brook’s waterfront community for nearly five decades. Nestled along one of Newfoundland’s most breathtaking stretches of coastline, our club is celebrated for its spectacular natural beauty, deep protected waters, and the kind of genuine, down-to-earth hospitality that only a place like western Newfoundland can offer.
Whether you’re an experienced sailor or just discovering your love of the water, the Bay of Islands is your starting point for an endless array of boating adventures. With a vast network of islands, hidden coves, and winding inlets waiting to be explored, there’s always something new just beyond the next headland. Our marina facilities and services are designed to make every visit seamless—so you can spend less time worrying about logistics and more time on the water doing what you love.
More than just a marina, the Bay of Islands Yacht Club is a community. We’re proud of the friendships forged on our docks, the local families who have made us part of their story, and the generations of boaters who have called this club home. We can’t wait to welcome you—whether you’re casting off for the first time or returning for another unforgettable season on the Bay of Islands.
