Have you ever wanted to feel the breeze on your face as you trim sails and steer a sailboat into the sunset? Dreamed about the serenity of paddling through glassy waters in a canoe? Or the excitement of pushing a throttle and bringing a powerboat to speed? Make these dreams reality at Harbourfront Centre's Nautical Centre!

Companies and organizations across our site offer activities for all ages, able or disabled persons, including those with vision impairment.

The Nautical Centre – located at 275 Queens Quay West, just west of the Radisson Plaza Hotel Admiral – offers a diverse range of interesting lessons and activities for beginners and enthusiasts of all skill levels and physical abilities, as well as rental opportunities.
