Visit the Club
Invited guests are welcome to visit the VNSC on weekends for sailing, paddle boarding, camping, and leisure. The club is most active on Sunday afternoons, when members convene for our weekly regatta and lunch. Members also attend on Saturdays for social sailing. A rescue boat is provided by the club during weekends to ensure safety on the water.
Guest pay a visitor fee of 15,000 UGX per person or 35,000 UGX per family and are entitled to visit the VNSC up to 6 times per year before requiring a membership, which entitles them to full access and discounted rates.
Guests should be accompanied by the inviting member or with approval from the club manager. For any questions and to confirm your visit, please contact the club manager.

Directions
The Club is located south of Munyonyo at the lakeshore at Kaazi on the Murchison Bay.
When branching off the Buusabala Road from the express-way at the entrance to the ‘Scouts grounds’, there is a check-point at the white gates staffed by some ‘personnel’ wearing green attire and red berets. They will ask you where you are going (you reply the sailing club) and they may request you to sign the book, before they allow you to proceed. The sailing club entrance is the third on the left about 800m down the road.
