This is our kinda club - come and find a yacht to crew on!

Some people come for the sailing.
Some come for the sea air.
Some come for the bar.
Most stay for the people.

At Weston Bay Yacht Club, we’re united by the love of sailing, sea, and socialising ⚓
WBYC isn’t about being an expert, it’s about turning up, pulling up a chair and feeling like you belong.

No pressure. No pretence.
Just good company.

If that sounds like your kind of crew…
Come join us on a Friday night, bar opens at 8pm.

Already on the crew? This is your cue to hit share and grow the fleet ⚓

Who wants to find womance at Weston Bay YC?

💘 VALENTINE’S EVENING AT WBYC — THIS SATURDAY 💘
Skippers and significant others… your friendly reminder that before you mysteriously “have boat jobs all weekend”… a romantic gesture may be wise.

📍 Weston Bay Yacht Club
🥂 Prosecco & cocktails flowing
🍴 Nibbles provided (because romance is hungry work)
📅 This Saturday — Valentine’s Night
⏰ From 7pm

Bring your favourite person out for an evening of drinks, good company and waterfront charm, because nothing says “I care” like bubbles, snacks and a view of the boats you’re about to vanish onto for the next six months.

💃🕺 Dress up encouraged. Romance optional. Prosecco guaranteed.

👉 Tag your Valentine, make the hint extremely obvious, and let us know if you’re coming so we can prep the nibbles and chill sufficient fizz. 🍾

We are all welcome to come!

🌊🍹 Ever fancied sailing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic?
Mike Atkins actually went and did it – and lived to tell the tale! 😅 After 24 days at sea, an average speed of 5.3 knots, and a whole lot of adventure, he landed in lush Jamaica 🇯🇲 (and yes, there was rum involved 🍹).
Now he’s back on dry land and ready to spill the beans at Weston Bay Yacht Club:
📅 Friday 19th September
Expect tall tales, honest laughs, “what was I thinking?!” moments, and maybe a few secrets you don’t get from the tracker updates.
Come along, grab a drink, and hear what it’s really like to cross an ocean. Trust us – this is one not to miss!

We saw Mike come sailing in for the regatta in July - they did a lovely guard of honour for him. Highly recommended!
