Pleasant Point Yacht Club is based in South New Brighton Park, and sails on the sheltered waters of the Christchurch Estuary.

We are a fun, family friendly local Club with a summer long programme of sailing that is enjoyed by children from around 7 years of age right through to our oldest sailors who are over 80 years young ... in fact we have families with three generations sailing at Pleasant Point Yacht Club.

Membership

Pleasant Point Yacht Club offers several membership types based on what we have found suits most people, from those who enjoy the excitement of racing to those who prefer social sailing and those who just want to belong as a social member… we can cater for all your membership needs.

What our members are saying…

The more I sail the more determined I am to keep sailing. I am super thankful to have found PPYC when I did. Even though I didn't have a boat, experience or even the right clothing, the egalitarian nature of this particular club ensured that I was made welcome. The generosity of the more experienced sailors in sharing their knowledge has meant great conversations after sailing in the club rooms.

I totally recommend my club to anyone who has ever thought they might want to sail.
