Members and non-members are encouraged to participate in the learn-to-sail programs. The Junior Training Program takes place through the summer months, while the adult programs is year round. The club offers paddleboards, kayaks and bicycles

Members and guests enjoy three restaurants, two of which allow minors and one that is 19 years + only.

The Star and Dragon hosts a kids’ buffet on Friday and Saturday nights from 4:30 pm for $8.00. Children who are 12 years old and older who are members may be in the restaurant on their own while parents dine upstairs in the Marine Lounge.
