Welcome to Cape Breton's Premier Yacht Club!

Dobson Yacht Club from the Harbour
"…and Dobson's is the place to tie up while waiting for a weather window. It's an all-volunteer club, simple and inexpensive, and if things go sideways, the burly guys at the bar pile out cheerfully to lend a hand."   —Angus Phillips, Cruising World, February 2008       …read more…

The Dobson Yacht Club sits on the western shore of the South Arm, directly opposite the Sydney downtown area. Its location on the chart (4266) is shown as Dobsons Point, formerly known as Shingle Point. The Club is justly proud of its facilities, which are the finest and most extensive in Sydney Harbour. The Club, with its newly renovated interior, harbourside lawn, and beautiful vista of the Sydney waterfront is also a major social centre on the Westmount shore of Sydney Harbour.

The primary goals of The Dobson Yacht Club are to provide first class boating facilities for its members and to promote the pastime of sailing and power boating in a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. We invite non-members to be our guests and to join in the various activities that take place at the Club.
