Ben Eoin Yacht Club & Marina 4.01

The new Ben Eoin Yacht Club & Marina is located on the south shore of the East Bay of the Bras d’Or Lakes, 25 minutes driving from downtown Sydney, Cape Breton Island. The Bras d’Or Lakes has a reputation for being one of the greatest sailing destinations in the world, generally offering friendly SW prevailing winds with a mild saltwater spray off your bow. The deep, soft bottom coves and harbours are endless for safe overnight anchorage. Land is always in sight in these fog free waters.

The Ben Eoin Yacht Club has 75 berths, making it the largest marina on the Bras d’Or Lakes. Guests can relax in our clubhouse, sit on the deck overlooking the marina and lakefront or watch TV, check their email or surf the web in the clubhouse lounge. You can even book a round of golf at the neighbouring 18 hole championship golf course, The Lakes Golf Club, one of Graham Cooke’s world class designs featuring stunning views of the Bras d’Or Lakes taking golfers over two brooks and three plateaus as shifts in slopes and elevation and changing winds offer multiple experiences to challenge the golfer.
