Takapuna Boating Club

Join us on the stunning Takapuna beachfront for fantastic sea views and world-class facilities. We put on a many social events throughout the year.

Takapuna Boating Club is an active club in the heart of Takapuna with a range of sporting and social activities throughout the year. We have a large number of sailing and paddling - surfski, SUP and waka ama- members, as well as a large social membership, who all make the most of our prime beachfront location on Takapuna Beach, easy access to the water, and range of membership benefits. Our active

members use the club to take part in their chosen water sport, with other like-minded people. Members regularly gather throughout the week to get out on the water together, both recreationally and to train. With storage available for dinghys, surfskis, SUP, wakas and boards, and hot showers, changing rooms and great facilities to enjoy afterwards, it couldn't be easier to get on the water at Takapuna,

We offer regular racing for sailors and paddlers all year round, as well as a range of training and development options to help our members improve and develop their skills. TBC has hosted numerous world and national championships in recent years. We provide opportunities for people in the community to get involved in these activities with regular "Have a Go" days and courses available. And we have SUPs, Surfskis and sailing dinghies available for our members to use. We are also a home base for the North Harbour Triathlon Club, the Taniwha Outrigger Club and the Piha Surf Lifesaving Club. These affiliated clubs all use our facilities to meet up, train and race. The social and community aspects are a vital part of our club and our members use the club as a place to meet their friends and families, experience our stunning beach venue and get involved in the community. Our club is open regularly for members and non-members to enjoy the club's facilities, and receive membership discounts on food and drinks at our bar. Takapuna Boating Club is a great club to belong to, whether you are competing on the water, helping as a volunteer, or using our superb location to meet up with friends and family.

Holiday Cheer from Commodore Wendy Baker!

As the year draws to a close and we look forward to the festive season—and a well-deserved break for many—I want to extend my thanks to all our members, volunteers, and staff for their incredible support throughout 2025.

Looking ahead to 2026, we have an exciting year planned for the club. Our social programme is being refreshed, on-the-water activities continue to grow (with interest from fishing enthusiasts, beach walkers, and ocean swimmers), and our volunteer programme is gaining momentum. We’re also focused on securing grants for club equipment, engaging and expanding our sponsors, and creating new opportunities for the local community to connect with the club.

A significant development this year has been the approved of the proposed Amendment Bill related to the Bayswater clubhouse. With support from our local MP, Simon Watts, and Auckland Council, along with a number of others over the last five years, the Bill passed its final reading and received the royal assent in August, formally amending the Bill. We are now in the process of setting up a Bayswater Restoration Committee to oversee the significant fundraising the club will need to restore the grand old building to its former glory. More to come in the New Year and we will provide regular updates to our members and interested parties on the lower North Shore.

As you celebrate the festive season with family and friends, please take care—whether you’re travelling or enjoying time on the water. And if your New Year’s resolutions include becoming more active or involved at the club, we’d love to hear from you!

On behalf of myself and the Board, we wish you a safe, happy, and relaxing holiday season.

Wendy Baker
Commodore

What a way to wrap up the year for our sailors! Perfect breeze and sunshine led our sailors on their destination sail to MacKenzie Bay on Rangitoto Island on Sunday. Awesome to see so many of our boats and sailors out enjoying the summer season.
Thanks to all the sailors and volunteers for supporting a great adventure, especially Andrew for organizing the kai!

Want to come along next time? Learn to sail in the new year on one of our courses. See website for details.
