⚓ Commodore's Message
It’s an understatement to say we pride ourselves on the community spirit that makes us a special place to enjoy the exploration of the St. John/Wolastoq river systems. However, as Commodore, I can state that I am honoured to lead a passionate and dedicated group of people that makes the Martinon Yacht Club truly unique.
Our club was started in 1952 by a group of friends and sailors. We strive to carry on that tradition and spirit of friendships today. You’ll find many of our members socializing on the water or congregating on our deck overlooking the stunning view of the St. John River. We also have a top notch sailing program that provides a rewarding experience for both the seasoned and recreational racer.
Our mission is quite simple: Get out on the water. So, whether you want to race, sail, kayak, or cruise on a power boat we invite you to sit on the deck, lend a helping hand or enjoy the view. The door is always open and all are welcome to be a part of the gem we call the Martinon Yacht Club.
