The Port Owen Yacht Club is one kilometer from the harbor mouth where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean at St. Helena Bay. This bay, the largest on the West Coast of Africa, offers the finest sailing conditions on the South African coastline due to its sheltered nature and the prevailing summer southeast trade winds. Adjacent to the fishing harbor of Laaiplek and surrounded by salt marsh,the area is a great place to enjoy fishing, kayaking and watersports. Free public boat launch just a few blocks away and jetty space available! Enjoy long walks around the Port Owen Marina Basin.
