Gordon's Bay Yacht Club

Situated in the scenic Old Harbour of Gordon’s Bay, Gordon’s Bay Yacht Club (GBYC) has been a focal point for maritime enthusiasts since its founding in 1966. It features a floating marina with about 119 moorings for vessels up to 42 ft, complete with electricity and water access for around half of the berths. More than a marina, GBYC offers a vibrant social scene—its clubhouse includes a bar, galley, and a scenic balcony overlooking the marina, complemented by Wi-Fi and braai facilities. While braai privileges are reserved for members, all guests can enjoy the club’s signature beer-battered hake in the relaxed atmosphere of the bar. GBYC also supports accredited sail training through its Sailing Academy, offering keelboat, dinghy, Hobie, and family sailing lessons for all ages, including youth camps, school programs, corporate events, and weekend training sessions. The club is known for its spirited sailing tradition—annual "raid" cruises, such as a noted trip to Simon’s Town, feature friendly rivalry, live music, communal braais, and even playful captures of memorabilia exchanged between yacht clubs.

Why It Stands Out

GBYC isn’t just a place to moor your boat—it's a warm, active maritime community. Whether you’re seeking sailing lessons, a friendly drink with ocean views, or joining in on a spirited sailing tradition, GBYC delivers connection, culture, and Cape coastal charm.
