This place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just dropping by for the view. The marina is well-kept, and the sunsets over the water are gorgeous. I like how the clubhouse has decent food and a casual patio. Downsides? It’s not super beginner-friendly unless you’re joining a program, and parking can be tight during events. Still, it’s a solid spot to unwind by the water or get out on a boat.

I've been a proud member of the Nepean Sailing Club since 2023, and it has truly enriched my life. Nestled on the Ottawa River, the club offers beautiful views, a friendly community, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a joy to return to again and again.
One of the best parts of being a member is participating in the weekly sailboat races every Tuesday and Thursday. Racing with a wonderful crew has been an incredible experience—full of excitement, teamwork, and learning. The sailing community here is passionate, inclusive, and always ready to lend a hand or share a story.
The facilities are solid, and the club offers a range of programs for sailors of all levels. Whether you’re new to sailing or a seasoned racer, you’ll find your place here. The social events, training opportunities, and waterfront amenities really round out the experience.
That said, there is still room for improvement when it comes to organization—especially around event logistics and communication. A bit more clarity and structure would go a long way in making the experience even better for everyone involved.
Overall, Nepean Sailing Club is a gem in Ottawa, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in sailing or simply enjoying life by the water.

The Nepean Sailing Club is one of Ottawa’s finest waterfront destinations, combining a vibrant sailing community with a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. Located on the Ottawa River, the club offers beautiful views, especially at sunset, and is a great place to unwind whether or not you’re an avid sailor. The marina is well-maintained, with ample docking space and facilities that make it convenient for both casual boaters and experienced sailors.
For those interested in learning, the club provides excellent sailing programs for all ages, from youth summer camps to adult training sessions. It’s a fantastic way to experience the water and build confidence in a supportive environment. The community spirit here is strong members are friendly, events are well-organized, and there’s a sense of camaraderie that makes newcomers feel included.
The clubhouse itself is inviting, featuring a waterfront restaurant and patio that’s popular even with non-members. Dining while overlooking the sailboats and river is a relaxing experience, making it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions.

Attended for a regatta. Nice Club. The cranes were well run and people helpful.

Very nice club with good facilities.
No gluten free bread/rolls? Just keep in freezer. So difficult.
Beautiful, God willing, good luck
Went on chicken wing Sunday. Half price and delicious.
Great bunch of people at this public Sailing Club
