Greetings and welcome to the Wolfe Island Boat Club!

The WIBC is a community run, recreational boat club that offers sailing, rowing, and  canoeing and kayaking for the whole family.

Summer Kid’s Camps, rental opportunities, and memberships are available at our location.

In addition the WIBC houses a great selection of books to browse at $2 a book!

Incorporated in 2011 as a not-for-profit, the WIBC is run by volunteers and generously supported by its sponsors, various municipal, provincial and federal grants, and annual community fundraisers including a team of bottle counters and book sellers!

Members, friends and visitors include Wolfe Islanders, seasonal cottagers, Kingstonians, and visiting tourists who enjoy getting out on the water with friends and family.

Join today and have access to the WIBC fleet that includes kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, rowing shells, laser sailboats, Pirate sailboats AND MORE! The equipment list also includes a safety coach boat, lifejackets, and all the safety gear you need to get out on the water. The WIBC is housed in a waterside village house next to the public dock in Marysville just steps from the ferry dock.

Please drop in anytime or make arrangements by email to meet your terrific staff team. They are geared up to give you a refresher on our safety/covid protocols and our equipment locker.
