Welcome to the Rocky Bay Memorial Cruising Club
Rocky Bay Memorial Cruising Club is a small (but active and growing) sailing and boating club located in Rocky Bay, Waiheke Island. Waiheke Island is located in the Hauraki Gulf, the gateway to Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city.
Established in 1947 the club’s objectives are the promotion of yachting and motor boating and to provide recreation activities and facilities for members. These activities include the annual regatta and picnic which is the longest running and largest family picnic day on Waiheke as well as protection of the scenic and heritage values of Rocky Bay.
The club comprises around 120 individual members and approximately half of these own boats. These boats range from 40 foot keelers to motor boats and sailing dinghies. Many members are permanent residents of Waiheke Island but some are resident in other parts of New Zealand and travel to Rocky Bay for their holidays.
The club has an official status with the Auckland Regional Authority as a custodian of the Rocky Bay beach and waterway area. This includes the monitoring of the foreshore and boat moorings in the bay.
The Club committee is pleased to invite you to find out about us on our website. We regard our club as a unique and friendly community.
