• Saiking cruises : Gordon's Bay Yacht Club is in the old harbour - you can take a sunset cruise on a sailing yacht; relax and sip wine; and watch the evening glitter of the ocean whilst listening to water lap the side of the boat. Other options include deep-sea fishing trips or a simple boat ride. One can also enjoy fresh seafood at the Old Harbour at its restaurants.
• Neaco : If you are planning on spending some time out in the sun, Gordon’s Bay is has long stretches of white, sandy beaches. Here one can enjoy peace of mind with safe and protected bathing, though it may be windy in summer. The beaches are suitable for sunbathing, snorkeling, jet and water skiing, surfing, volleyball, sailing and rubber ducking (riding small inflatable powerboats). Several cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, pubs and curio shops can be found along the beachfront in the form of the Gordon’s Bay beachfront promenade.

Nearby, to the south of the old harbour, is the smaller and more secluded Bikini beach where you can enjoy a safe and protected swim and enjoy the sunshine. Other beaches in the area include Melkbaai, Sunset Beach and Kogel Bay.

• Fishing charters : You can charter a fishing boat or angle from the breakwater or shoreline. You might even catch some fish.
• Scuba diving is available when the weather permits, which is mostly in summer in Gordon's Bay, but there are some good days most seasons. There are scuba diving schools in Gordon's Bay and in the surrounding area where one can be trained and certified. There is often somewhere within a day-trip range where the conditions will be suitable for diving, from the Cape Peninsula to Hermanus . Do not be put off by the wind if it is from the southeast, the diving is often at its best during or after offshore south easterly winds, and the dive sites are almost all close inshore where it is sheltered from the wind below the steep mountainside. The dive sites are all on rocky reefs and are suitable for all levels of diver.

Around late 1966, early 67, a group of forward thinking people got together with the idea of forming a water sports club. They met at the old Van Riebeek Hotel in Gordons Bay. Among this group was Major Dougie Van Riet, Ernie Magson, Dr “Porky” Falconer and his wife Barbara. The idea of forming a club was to promote water sports, but as it turned out, the main water sport was power boating, the racing type of power boating! Both Ernie and Porky were keen racing enthusiasts, with the Major being a keen motor car racer. However he had at this time turned his attentions to the sea. As it turns out, Major Dougie van Riet was the first elected Commodore of the club in 1968 with Barbara Falconer the elected treasurer, a position she held until 1993. Racing the big cigar boats in those heady days of cheap fuel was extremely competitive, with the Falconer family taking most of the spoils in the bigger class power boats, triangular courses were set from Gordons Bay to Roman rock, around Seal Island and back. Races were also held with some brave soul hanging on to a long rope at the back of the boat with a single plank under his feet (ski) to Simonstown and back!! Crazy! Most of the events at GBYAC (Gordons Bay Yacht and Aquatic Club as it was known then) were sponsored by Telefunken and Henesey Brandy! Are these two companies still around?? Of course in the 70’s petrol restrictions were imposed by the government and the wonderful days of massive cigar boats racing around the bay ended. It was about this time that yachties like Mike Dunn, Peter Richards and company got involved and slowly the idea of sailing was re introduced to Gordons Bay. Sailing grew rapidly in the club, particularly with the demise of the racing power boats. Soon we had a strong fleet of Flamencas and Buccaneers, two classes that many of todays sailors cut there teeth on. It was a few years later when a few members decided to invest in newer racing yachts, we welcomed four L26’s and four Sweetpeas to the club, three of which are still sailing today because of the efforts of Joe Van Der Westhuisen. During the late 80’s, Mike Dunn had the vision of leasing both the ground and water space to build a new club house, he started negotiations with the departments, did some sketch drawings and in 1989 we eventually started construction of the present clubhouse. It was at about the same time the the clubs name was changed to Gordons Bay Yacht Club, fortunately we retained the strong original constitution which had proved itself over and over again. In May 1991, the new club house was opened and suddenly the rush started, we went from roughly 48 members in the old wooden shed to over 200 within the space of six months. The public were scrambling to become members of the Yacht Club. Over the years a few changes were made to the internal structure of the club building. The area alongside the club was aquired and a pleasant braai area was created with trees being planted to create some shade. Things have changed over the years, but do yourself a favour, if you have an hour or two to spare, go into Berties Board Room, spend a quiet hour or two paging through the books that have been made up, this will give you a pictorial history of the club.
