GEGRAPHE BAY YACHT CLUB
Geographe Bay
Western Australia
Welcome to Geographe Bay Yacht Club
Situated in Busselton in the south west of Western Australia, the Geographe Bay Yacht Club overlooks the vast expanse of sheltered water from which the club takes it's name.
It commands a superlative vantage point on the long stretch of sand for which Geographe Bay is renowned, and is only a short distance from the town centre. From the modern Clubhouse, you can take in the whole bay from Capel to Cape Naturaliste, including the famous 1.8 km Busselton Jetty.
Geographe Bay is an ideal body of water for sailing and has been the focal point of sailing in the South West for over 50 years, hosting large numbers of boats in regular club events and various State and National Titles.
Geographe Bay Yacht Club boasts a recently featured article which appears on the Australian Sailing website.

Learn to Sail
Tackers is a fun introductory, games-based sailing course designed for kids aged 7-12 yrs, delivered at recognised Tackers Centres. Kids don’t need to have any sailing experience or club membership to participate. All the equipment, including the boats, is provided. The Tackers courses are delivered in small groups by an Australian Sailing qualified Instructor and Assistant Instructors.
Dinghies are small sailing boats and a great way to get into sailing. These boats are ideal for teenagers and adults of all ages to learn the basics of sailing and racing. Sailing a dinghy can be fun and exhilarating and these courses have been developed to provide a safe introduction to dinghy sailing.
