OUR FUTURE AT KEPPEL BAY SAILING CLUB

THE CLUBHOUSE

Since its beginnings in 1957, Keppel Bay Sailing Club has been built on a passion for sailing, community connection, and creating a welcoming place for locals and visitors to gather. What started as a small group of dedicated sailors has grown into one of the Capricorn Coast’s most recognised community venues — and we continue to look to the future as we evolve and improve our facilities for generations to come.

In November 2024, the Club proudly opened the doors to its brand-new clubhouse on the Yeppoon foreshore. This modern, purpose-built venue marks a significant milestone in the Club’s history and strengthens KBSC’s role as both the sailing hub of the Capricorn Coast and a vibrant social and function destination for the community.

Designed with the future in mind, the new three-storey facility brings together world-class sailing infrastructure with welcoming hospitality spaces, allowing the Club to support everything from local sailing programs and major regattas to weddings, corporate events, and community celebrations.

With panoramic views across Keppel Bay and the surrounding islands, the clubhouse has quickly become a place where locals and visitors alike can gather — whether for a morning coffee by the water, a relaxed meal with friends, or a special event overlooking the ocean.

As a not-for-profit organisation, everything we do is guided by our commitment to supporting our members, growing the sport of sailing, and creating spaces that bring our community together. The redevelopment ensures that Keppel Bay Sailing Club will continue to serve the Capricorn Coast for many decades to come.

THE SPINNAKER

As part of our commitment to continually improving our facilities for members, guests and the wider community, Keppel Bay Sailing Club is currently undertaking a staged redevelopment of our much-loved Spinnaker venue.

The redevelopment is designed to enhance the experience for visitors while ensuring the space continues to evolve alongside the needs of our community. Works are being delivered in stages to allow the venue to remain open and operating throughout the process.

STAGE 1

Stage 1 of the redevelopment has now been successfully completed and introduced two exciting new additions to the venue.

This stage saw the completion of our new reception area, creating a welcoming entry point for members and guests, along with the development of a secure kids’ playground. The new playground allows families to relax and enjoy the venue while children have a safe and dedicated space to play, making Spinnaker an even more family-friendly destination.

STAGE 2 - Coming soon!

Planning is currently underway for Stage 2 of the redevelopment, which is scheduled to commence soon.

This next phase will focus on further enhancements to the venue, continuing to improve the comfort, functionality and overall experience for members and visitors. Further details and timelines will be shared as works approach.
