About us
A delightful journey, inspired by a passion for the waters.
Founded in 1960 and incorporated with Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission in 1965, Apapa Boat Club has a rich history reflecting the enduring love of maritime pursuits in our coastal community. From its beginnings as a gathering of passionate boaters, the Club has grown into a home for boating, fellowship and shared experiences.
We are more than a boat club. Our love of nature and enthusiasm for the water bring people together, whether experienced sailors or newcomers to boating. We aim to provide memorable experiences in an environment shaped by safety, fun and inclusiveness.
At Apapa Boat Club, every moment on the water is an opportunity to build connections, enjoy our surroundings and create lasting memories.
