Discover the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club: Shorncliffe’s Hidden Gem
Nestled along the scenic Cabbage Tree Creek in Shorncliffe , the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club (QCYC) is one of Brisbane’s best-kept secrets. Known as the home of the legendary Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race, this welcoming club is more than just a destination for sailors—it’s a vibrant hub for the local community, offering dining, events, and unforgettable experiences by the water.
A Legacy of Sailing and Community
Founded in 1948, QCYC began with a passionate group of sailors eager to create a home for yacht racing. Since then, the club has grown into a cornerstone of the Brisbane Northside’s aquatic community. Today, it’s not only the starting point for the famed Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race but also hosts a range of exciting events like the Surf to City Yacht Race, the Bribie Cup, and the Vintage Yacht Regatta.
Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just starting out, QCYC’s year-round sailing program offers opportunities for all abilities. From competitive racing to relaxed cruising, members can sharpen their skills or simply enjoy the open waters of Moreton Bay.
Beyond Boating: Dining, Events, and More
Queensland Cruising Yacht Club isn’t just for boating enthusiasts. With a stunning waterfront restaurant and bar, the club offers a warm welcome to both members and visitors. Open Thursday to Sunday, the restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner with friends while taking in breathtaking views over the water. The menu features locally sourced ingredients, gluten-free options, and delicious meals that keep guests coming back for more.

The Ideal Starting Point for Moreton Bay Adventures
With its well-marked channel, the QCYC marina is the perfect launch pad for exploring the beauty of Moreton Bay. Boaters can rent marina berths overnight, weekly, or long-term, with facilities that cater to both powerboats and trailer sailors. The marina offers 62 berths for vessels up to 15 meters, making it a convenient choice for locals and visitors looking to enjoy Queensland’s stunning coastline.
A Welcoming Space for All
At the core of the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club is a commitment to community. Their vision is to be a vibrant, welcoming facility that plays a central role in Shorncliffe and the Moreton Bay region. Whether you’re a boatie or a land lover, QCYC invites everyone to experience its unique charm. Visitors can relax on the deck, enjoy live music, or simply soak up the serene waterfront atmosphere.
