Buffalo Yacht Club

  Point Abino Station
A Facility of the Buffalo Yacht Club

Highlights
Our facility, on the beautiful Canadian shore of Eastern Lake Erie is halfway between Port Colborne, Ontario and Buffalo, New York. We are located on the weather-protected east side of Point Abino, at the apex of Point Abino Bay. Our superior location allows access to and from our basin and Lake Erie in the protected waters of Point Abino Bay. Even in adverse weather conditions, sail, swim in the always-warm Lake Erie, and boat when you want to, not when the weather permits.

social activity. In 2009 a new deck

junior sailing offices and storage lockers.
