Humber Bay Sailing Centre

At the intersection of Humber Bay Park Road West and Lake Shore Boulevard, the Humber Bay Sailing Centre stands as a testament to Toronto’s rich maritime history. Established in 1984, this facility has evolved into the largest sail training centre in Eastern Canada. The centre is a product of Humber College’s visionary approach to integrating practical boating skills into their curriculum, leveraging a leased parcel of land to create a year-round facility.

Situated in the heart of Humber Bay Park West, this marina benefits from a sheltered harbour crafted from landfill excavated during the Toronto Eaton Centre development. The centre’s origins are rooted in the educational and recreational needs of the community, offering courses in boat handling and navigation. Today, it serves both students and enthusiasts alike, providing access to state-of-the-art docks, boats, and facilities. The Humber Bay Sailing Centre is a vibrant hub where the legacy of Humber Bay’s boat-building and sailing heritage continues to thrive. Its location, where the Humber River meets Lake Ontario, underscores its significance as a convergence point for watercraft and community.
