Commodore’s Comments 

Welcome to the Schooner Cove Yacht Club. We’re a modest sized but very friendly boating club based at the newly modernized Fairwinds marina in Nanoose Bay. We have around 100 members with a roughly even balance between sailing yachts and powerboats.

Throughout the year members can enjoy numerous social events organized by our valuable volunteer group. Some events are based around our floating clubhouse in the marina, some at the Nanoose Bay Café overlooking the marina and some at the Rocking Horse pub nearby.

We strive to arrange as many social events as we can, in fact you could say we’re a social club for people who enjoy being aboard boats on the water, and all the related activities that goes with it. If you’ve recently moved to Nanoose Bay it’s a great way to meet people and network.

In addition to social events, the club has an established yachting program and organizes rallies and races throughout the year, with our marquee event being the ever popular BMW Lasqueti Island Regatta held at the end of May each year, this is a weekend event which begins on the Friday night; centres around a 45 mile yacht race around Lasqueti Island and winds up with a prize-giving event on the Sunday morning.
For those members who prefer a more sedate and leisurely pace, the club organizes several cruises of different duration around the Salish Sea during the spring and summer which are open to all members and all types of boats.

If you like boating and socializing, drop us a line or drop by our clubhouse in the marina and get
onboard!
