The town of Conception Bay South or commonly known as C.B.S is a picturesque community on the southern shoreline in Newfoundland . Located on the southern shore of Conception Bay, this small town is just 20 kilometers (12 miles) southwest from St John’s.
The fishing industry is an integral part of Conception Bay’s history. The world's largest tuna could be found off shore in Long Pond and now graces one wall at Lunenburg’s Atlantic Fisheries Museum as proof to this fact. Lobster trapping has also been an integral part for many years since 1845 . The town is also a home to notable marinas which are also historical, scenic and part of their tourism industry. Below are the list of marinas you can find in Conception Bay South. Marinas in Conception Bay South You Should Visit 1. The Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club (RNYC) The Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club is a great place to enjoy the outdoors and socialise with friends. The barachois, which forms a natural breakwater protecting Long Pond from ocean currents, creates sheltered conditions for our club marina that make perfect year round. The well maintained club house offers complete kitchen and bar facilities for parties of up to 150 people, as well as an informal lounge area perfect during summer or fall time. The Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club was founded in 1935 by Arthur and Marjorie Johnson, who took Max Barbour canoeing at Long Pond that day. The idea of a yacht club for locals came after they realised how many people would want summer homes close by without having their own waterfront property on which to build one. It wasn’t called the Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club then. The present club was created in 1960 after the amalgamation of the Newfoundland Yacht Club, founded in 1928, and the Avalon Yacht Club which was founded in 1936. The RNYC has hosted several major events and regattas. Today, the RNYC attracts those who enjoy sailing to its fullest. RNYC is North America’s most easterly Yacht Club and a favourite port-of-call for ocean cruisers. They offer a Learn To Sail Program which is open to all members or nonmembers of any age. RNYC is the place to go if you're looking for sailing lessons. They have programs ranging from beginner's courses on how to navigate through an ocean yacht without getting lost, all of which will lead up towards more advanced levels like Ocean Yachtmaster and competitive racing skills. For those looking forward to socialising at events like dining out, or making use of the pool, there's Social membership available as well. 2. Sunset Key Marina Sunset Key Marina offers a variety of amenities for boat owners and lovers. The marina has everything from boat rentals, events like parties in the park or yoga on one acre beachfront property with ocean views. 3. Harbour Authority of Foxtrap Is a facility for mooring leisure yachts and motorboats. Located at 80 Delaneys Rd, Conception Bay South, you can safely lock your yachts here while not in use. There is a proposal to construct the Long Pond Conception Bay South Marina. The construction of a 101-berth recreational small boat marina at Long Pond in Conception Bay South is projected to generate significant economic benefits for the local area. The project includes: constructing marginal wharves, finger piers and slipways; installing boat lifts or launches with storage space available on site. Following months of review, Ocean Choice has made adjustments to their development plan for Long Pond Harbour. Residents and business owners were given an opportunity to provide feedback on what they would like in the future plans and after careful consideration, the company has made significant adjustments that will benefit residents and businesses alike.
