Welcome to the North Bay Yacht Club

Nestled on the protected waters of Callander Bay, the North Bay Yacht Club offers an paralleled sailing experience for every level of sailor. Beginners build confidence in sheltered conditions, while seasoned sailors venture into the open waters of Lake Nipissing for true big-water excitement. Beyond, the breathtaking French River unfolds as a hidden sanctuary of natural beauty and exploration. From your very first sail to unforgettable adventures, this is where skills grow, horizons expand, and a lifelong passion for sailing begins.

The North Bay Yacht Club is a private, member owned, self-help club located on the shores of Callander Bay in Lake Nipissing. Our goal is to provide a friendly, supportive atmosphere for boaters and sailors of all levels and promote sailing, boating safety, and environmental protection.

About Us

Our club was started in 1953 on Trout Lake, but moved to Callander Bay in 1962. We have 63 slips in our harbour for both sail and power boats and over 90 members enjoy all the amenities and activities at the club. The club is managed by our Board of Directors who are elected annually.

Racing

We have an active racing program every Tuesday night as well as Canada Day and Fall Regattas and some fun races throughout the summer.
