Our mission and purpose is to promote recreational boating in all its forms on the Murray Lakes and Lower Murray River, inclusive of all ages, sailing experience, and skill levels. All members and their guests will be made to feel welcome and can expect to enjoy the Club in an atmosphere of friendship, conviviality and mutual respect.

The Club has a full program with a mix of racing, boating, and social events. We cater for all ages and all stages of sailing or boating. Whether you want to race or go on cruises with other boaties, all are welcome.


In January each year we run a special Pirates Day for the children so that fun is not only for the adults. Each race weekend is followed up with social activities like a bbq where you can celebrate the weekends activities with new friends and delicioius food provided by our members.
