We have programmes for beginners through to advanced coaching, and from 8 years, through to adults. Options range from weekly after-school sessions, holiday programmes, to weekend adult courses and private tuition.

Windsurfing isn’t just a sport, it is a lifestyle. Windsurfers live and breath it – once you’ve cracked it and got planing (blasting across the water at high speed) you won’t look back.

Wingfoiling is taking the watersports world by storm. With a dedicated brand “Wingfoil Nelson” we’re building the community here at Nelson Yacht Club, looking after everything from lessons to gear sales and advice.

Members are what makes a club, and we’ve got a great bunch! There are many ways to get involved – from being part of training courses, club racing, volunteering, committees and working bees etc…  and of course, there’s always time for a drink and a yarn after sailing.

We have club racing most Saturdays throughout the season, with a mixture of handicap racing, scratch class racing, and special/feature races. There’s also a popular casual twilight racing series on Tuesday evenings. We have the annual Whakatu Regatta, and host regional, national, and international regattas.

Book your next function in the club’s Aurora Lounge. It is an excellent space, offering unrivalled views over the harbour to the Cut. The lounge can be booked for anything from smaller meetings through to conferences and of course parties and weddings!
