Welcome to the ​Rotorua Yacht Club

Situated near Ohinemutu on the Lake Rotorua waterfront, you'll find us sailing dinghy yachts and catamarans most Sunday afternoons during the summer months. ​We usually rig from 12:30pm, to be on the water by 2pm.

We offer Learn to Sail Youth and Adult Sailing Programmes.  ​Popular learning classes include Optimist, Open Skiff, Laser (4.7, Radial and Standard), Topaz and Hobie catamarans.  ​​Our sheltered lake is superb for experienced sailors and those who are just getting started.
