Nestled along Newcastle’s working harbour, Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club is one of the city’s hidden waterfront gems. Open to the public seven days a week, the Club offers modern Australian dining, an extensive wine list, stunning harbour views, and a picturesque waterfront promenade. With sailing experiences for all ages, competitive inshore and offshore racing, and a welcoming community, the Club has been bringing people together on Newcastle Harbour since 1994.
