Ponsonby Cruising Club

The PCC is over a hundred years old, dating back to 1900, and was the first designated cruising club in Auckland, and one of the first in the whole Empire. That’s a lot of history, and the club wears it well.
The mooring areas for the PCC are the huge docks next to the bridge, with the clubrooms on the headland in front.
The clubrooms themselves aren’t that flash, but they aren’t meant to be. We’ve used the clubrooms many times for meetings for our dragonboat association since they graciously offered us their use, and they have been a really great asset and group of people to work with.
Members can pop by the bar anytime for a couple of cheap handles, and talk out their old sea stories or chat about upcoming regattas, but the best time to visit their grounds is on Auckland Anniversary Day, when hundreds of the boats moored there take to the harbour in a breathtaking show of sails and sunshine.
They also offer the chance for non-​members to come sailing on one of the clubs boats, so even if yuo don’t have one of your own, you can still get out on the water.
Great place, great people, what more could you ask for?
